Over the years, they absorb countless hours of sunlight, making them one of the first places where skin changes become visible.
Common causes include:
Sun Exposure
Years of sunlight can trigger excess pigment production, creating the dark spots often called “age spots” or “sun spots.”
Natural Aging
As the skin ages, it becomes thinner and less able to repair itself, making discoloration more common.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations, especially during menopause, can contribute to pigmentation changes.
