Why Pigmentation Appears During Premenopause

Premenopause is the transitional phase before menopause, where hormone levels—especially oestrogen and progesterone—begin to fluctuate. These shifts can cause:

• Increased melanin production, leading to dark patches and uneven tone

• Slower skin cell turnover, making pigmentation more visible

• Weaker skin barrier, causing more sun and environmental damage

Add stress, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors into the mix, and pigmentation can intensify quickly.

Common Types of Premenopause Pigmentation

• Melasma – Hormone-driven brown patches on cheeks, forehead, and upper lip

• Age Spots (Lentigines) – Sun-related dark spots that become more common with age

• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Dark marks left after breakouts or irritation

How to Treat Premenopause Pigmentation Naturally

1. Brightening Ingredients
Look for skin-safe brighteners that are gentle yet effective for maturing skin:

• Saffron Extract – Antioxidant-rich, helps fade dark spots and even skin tone

• Alpha Arbutin – Targets melanin production without harsh bleaching

• Niacinamide – Brightens and strengthens barrier

• Tranexamic Acid – Proven to reduce stubborn pigmentation

2. Consistent Sun Protection
Pigmentation will only worsen without daily SPF. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen year-round, even on cloudy days.

3. Gentle Exfoliation
Mild exfoliants like rice powder or enzyme cleansers encourage cell turnover without stressing the skin.
