Pigmentation / Sundamage - Overview
Pigmentation and sun damage are two closely related issues. While both result from sun exposure, each has other triggers as well.
Sun Damage
Photoaging effects all skin types though paler complexions suffer more. Photoaging is the primary cause-though not the only one-of environmental damage. More than just a cosmetic concern, photodamage is a major precursor for skin cancer.
Pigmentation
A common symptom of solar photodamage is hyperpigmentation. A condition that can also affect any skin type, it is more visible, again, on those with fairer skin.
