Pigmentation
Pigmentation disorders, also known as hyperpigmentation, refer to a group of conditions that cause patches or larger areas of skin to darken. Hyperpigmentation occurs due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their natural colours. It can affect anyone regardless of race and skin colour. Examples of pigmentation disorders include freckles, lentigines, melasma, Nevus of Ota, Hori’s nevus, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Skincare routine for Pigmentations
Pigmentation is a fairly common grievance among women as well as men. Aging, sun damage, genetics, hormones and post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation are just some ways skin is put through the ringer on a daily basis. In order to counter these natural effects, a few crucial skin care steps inculcated in every day routines will aid in the deceleration of developing pigmentation.
It is therefore of the utmost importance to remember the application of sunblock with at least SPF50 when outdoors as the sun’s UV rays escalate hyper pigmentation.

Acne can be divided into non-inflammatory eg blackhead and whitehead; and inflammatory eg papules, pustules, nodules, cysts.
What can cause acne

- Diet
- Oily cosmetics

- Drugs ( long term oral steroid medications)
- Repeated friction or pressure on skin
Skincare routine for acne
In some cases, topical creams and lotions containing glycolic and salicylic acids may have to be employed in the battle with acne. Glycol and salicylic acids clean out excess sebum, dead skin cells and hidden impurities deep within pores. Dr HAACH’s Enzyme Cleansing Gel not only thoroughly removes make-up, it also eliminates dirt, impurities and excess sebum, leaving behind clean, baby-soft skin.
Including Vitamin C and Niacinamide in your daily skincare routine also helps re-enforce the skin’s barrier layer while keeping sebum levels stable. In cases where excess sebum causes uncontrollable acne, topical retinoids like Differin and Tretinoin, may be administered to suppress and regulate the viscosity of sebum.

Aging | Wrinkles & Sagging
As skin ages, it loses two important proteins manufactured in the dermis namely elastin and collagen. As its name suggests, elastin gives skin elasticity. It provides firm skin with the ability to bounce back when stretched. Collagen is produced by fibroblasts. When skin is taut and firm, collagen is comprised of tightly-constructed fibers, which help skin maintain its structure and firmness. Both elastin and collagen production decline as people age. These two proteins can also become deteriorated by external factors over time.
What can cause wrinkles and sagging
- Aging
- Sun exposure
- Stress
- Pollutants in the environment, including cigarette smoke
- Certain lifestyle factors, such as poor nutrition and excessive alcohol drinking
- Poor hydration

Oily Skin
Oily skin happens when the sebaceous glands in the skin make too much sebum. Sebum is the waxy, oily substance that protects and hydrates the skin. Sebum is vital for keeping the skin healthy. However, too much sebum can lead to oily skin, clogged pores and acne.
What can cause oily skin
- Genetics
- Hormonal fluctuations around puberty
- Wrong skin care products
- Over-drying skin with harsh cleansers or scrubs
- You are dealing with seborrheic dermatitis
- You are dealing with chronic acne
- You have oily hair and an oily scalp
- You are using oily makeup products
- Your nutritional habits may be causing your skin to produce more oil
- You are wearing too much make up

Dry Skin
Dry skin is an uncomfortable condition marked by scaling, itching, and cracking. It can occur for a variety of reasons. You might have naturally dry skin. But even if your skin tends to be oily, you can develop dry skin from time to time. Dry skin can affect any part of your body.
What can cause dry skin
Dry skin (xerosis) often has an environmental cause. Certain diseases also can significantly affect your skin. Potential causes of dry skin include:
- Skin tends to be driest in winter, when temperatures and humidity levels plummet. But the season may not matter as much if you live in desert regions.
- Central heating, wood-burning stoves, space heaters and fireplaces all reduce humidity and dry your skin.
- Hot baths and showers.Taking long, hot showers or baths can dry your skin. So can frequent swimming, particularly in heavily chlorinated pools.
- Harsh soaps and detergents.Many popular soaps, detergents and shampoos strip moisture from your skin as they are formulated to remove oil.
- Other skin conditions.People with skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema) or psoriasis are prone to dry skin.
