Question 2

Please explain the difference between tanning and pigmentation. As i had my uneven skin tone..dark patches near to my nose. I want to know the difference berween tanning and pigmentation

Accepted Answer

Tanning is the skin's natural response to exposure to UV radiation, leading to the darkening of the skin. It is usually temporary and fades away as the skin regenerates. On the other hand, pigmentation refers to the color of the skin, which can be affected by various factors such as genetics, hormones, and sun exposure. Dark patches near the nose could be a result of both tanning and pigmentation issues. To address this, you can use a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
