WHY IS YOUR SKIN DARK?

IT'S ALL ABOUT MELANIN, AND ITS EVIL BYPRODUCT, HYPERPIGMENTATION!

      You may be wondering why your skin has become darkened, right? Well, there are many different reasons why the skin on any area of your body can have localized concentrations of higher melanin (PIGMENT) production. These reasons include, but are not limited to: sun exposure, inflammation, varying levels of estrogen (often, due to pregnancy), scarring, various genetic factors, skin trauma (often, from friction), and hormonal variations due to birth control. In the case of dark anal/vaginal skin, trauma is usually the culprit. The soft, sensitive skin in the anal and vaginal region, as well as the armpits and inner thighs, is subjected to chronic friction, which is caused by walking and running. A lifetime of friction in these areas is usually the reason why so many people are plagued by dark and dirty-looking anal and vaginal skin. In response to the trauma caused by this friction, your body's pigment-producing skin cells, known as melanocytes, produce melanin (PIGMENT) in those areas in order to heal and protect the skin, causing the skin to darken, and, in some cases, become a bit "thicker", and, to put it bluntly, extremely unattractive. It's a natural cellular response to any kind of skin trauma and hormone variations, but the result is often ugly and unsightly, as are dark marks on any area of your skin.

     As stated, friction is definitely not the only cause of hyperpigmentation. Other causes of hyperpigmentation include: scarring, hormone variations, sun exposure, pregnancy, and various genetic causes. Hyperpigmentation can also be caused by various drugs, including some antibiotics and antiarrhythmics. Hyperpigmentation can also affect almost any area of your skin, including, but definitely not limited to, the following: anal/vaginal skin, inner thighs, nipples, face, armpits, inner buttocks, scars, feet, penis, knees, and scrotum. Hyperpigmentation is also known to cause the following conditions: age/sun/liver spots, Melasma (dark areas of skin on the face due to sun exposure, birth control pills, and/or pregnancy), Chloasma (dark patches of skin on the face and neck due to pregnancy), freckles, birthmarks, Linea Nigra (a hyperpigmented line found on the abdomen during and after pregnancy), and moles, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

     Our product line was formulated to combat your skin's melanin, and to inhibit the production of future melanin, thereby eliminating hyperpigmentation in all of its nasty forms, and erasing its unattractive, and sometimes, even, grotesque discolorations on your skin.
