Skin pigmentation treatment involves various procedures and products aimed at reducing or eliminating dark spots, uneven skin tone, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. These treatments work by reducing melanin production, promoting skin cell turnover, and removing the outer layer of skin to reveal new, lighter skin underneath. Sun protection and avoiding skin injuries are also essential to prevent hyperpigmentation. It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment options based on the specific type and severity of hyperpigmentation.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that causes patches of skin to become darker in colour than the surrounding skin. This condition occurs when there is an excess production of melanin, which is the pigment that gives our skin its colour.
There are several factors that can contribute to the development of hyperpigmentation, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skin injuries such as acne or eczema. Certain medications, such as birth control pills and some antibiotics, can also cause hyperpigmentation as a side effect.
Pigmentation Types and Causes
There are several types of pigmentation, each with its own causes:
- Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess production of melanin. This can be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, skin injuries such as acne or eczema, and certain medications.
- Hypopigmentation: Hypopigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin become lighter in colour than the surrounding skin due to a lack of melanin production. This can be caused by conditions such as vitiligo, albinism, and certain skin infections
- Melasma: Melasma is a specific type of hyperpigmentation that is often associated with hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or birth control pills. It appears as brown or grey patches on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): PIH is a type of hyperpigmentation that occurs after the skin has been injured or inflamed, such as with acne or eczema. It appears as dark spots or patches on the affected areas.
- Sunspots: Sunspots, also known as age spots or liver spots, are a type of hyperpigmentation that is caused by sun damage. They usually appear on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and arms.
Other causes of pigmentation include genetics, medications, and medical conditions such as Addison’s disease or Cushing’s syndrome. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the specific type and cause of pigmentation in order to develop an effective treatment plan.
The Best Skin Pigmentation Treatments
Skin pigmentation can be a challenging condition to treat, but there are effective treatments available. The best treatment option for skin pigmentation will depend on the specific type and severity of the condition, as well as the individual’s skin type and overall health.
It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine if skin pigmentation treatment is right for your skin. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results. With the right treatment approach and proper sun protection, it is possible to improve the appearance of skin pigmentation and achieve a more even skin tone.
Who needs this skin treatment?
Skin pigmentation treatment is appropriate for individuals who have uneven skin tone or patches of darker or lighter skin compared to their surrounding skin. These conditions can occur due to various reasons such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, skin injuries, or the use of certain medications. They can be unsightly and can cause distress, leading to a negative impact on self-esteem and confidence.
Skin pigmentation treatment can help to reduce the appearance of these conditions, resulting in a more even and radiant skin tone. It is a safe and effective option that can help to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
While some individuals may see significant improvements with a single treatment, others may require a combination of treatments to achieve the desired results. Skin pigmentation treatment can be customised to meet individual needs and goals, resulting in a more confident and comfortable appearance.

Pregnancy brings a lot of changes to your body. There are obvious ones, your skin will stretch and grow to make room for the bundle of joy inside, and then there are the changes that take place on a more microscopic level inside of your body. Increases in the levels of certain hormones produced by your body can alter the pigment in your skin, causing areas like birthmarks and freckles to become darker or appear a different shade. Most women experience some darkening around their nipples and may develop a vertical line down the centre of their stomach known as the “linea nigra”. While many of these changes might seem confronting, they are only temporary and usually remedy themselves over the course of your pregnancy.
Skin And Hair Changes During Pregnancy
It’s common for hair growth to increase during pregnancy. Many women feel that they lose a large amount of hair after giving birth, but it’s often just the body’s way of shedding all the excess hair that was produced during the gestation period. Body hair during pregnancy can appear much thicker and more oily, requiring more regular visits to your local parlour to make sure it’s under control. From professional brow waxes to body hair removal, The Beauty & Brow Parlour have the skilled services to look after all your unwanted hair, no matter how pregnant you are.
It’s also relatively common for facial pigmentation patches to occur during pregnancy. Sometimes referred to as “Chloasma”, dark circles or patches can occur on the forehead, nose, cheeks, lips and chin. This is a completely normal phenomenon that’s more frequently experienced by women living in areas with high sun exposure. Most of the time the patches disappear after a few weeks or months, with rare cases retaining the pigmentation for up to a year.
What To Use On My Skin When Pregnant
It can be difficult to know exactly what the best products to use during your pregnancy are. When you’re up at odd hours and not quite feeling yourself your regular skin routine often goes out the window. While oils, balms and butters rich in vitamins and nutrients are often suggested for stretch marks, you may be wondering what’s suitable for your face? The Beauty & Brow Parlour’s own Ruposhi Brightening Eye Cream is an affordable and effective option. Our brightening cream acts to rehydrate the skin around your eyes. With ingredients like Vitamin E, shea butter and glycerin, the specially formulated cream repairs the outer barrier of your skin and revitalises dark circles and areas of pigmentation.
Relaxing During Your Pregnancy
One of the most critical aspects of pregnancy is keeping your stress levels as low as possible. Elevated stress can have a detrimental effect on the health of both you and your unborn child. It’s important to make an effort to undertake calming activities that you know have a positive impact on your mind. Enjoying a relaxing facial or skin treatment can offer you a way to lower your stress and improve the quality of your skin. The Beauty & Brow Parlour provides a number of specialised skin treatments, from affordable mini facials to skin pigmentation and pH balancing treatments.

Dark, puffy, or sunken under-eyes are one of the most common beauty complaints. Whether they’re due to tiredness, stress, genetics, or age, they can certainly leave us feeling insecure and desperate for a quick-fix.
Today, our Beauty and Brow consultants are here with their advice for preventing, minimising, and disguising those annoying dark circles:
Tip #1: Health Comes First
If your under eye bags have popped up recently, lifestyle factors could be at fault. If you’re particularly stressed or tired, your eyes will be one of the first things to give you away.
If more sleep and relaxation isn’t on the agenda for now, try promoting good skin health in other ways, like with daily hydration and cleansing. Make sure to nourish your under eyes with a good-quality moisturiser and get rid of any toxins with daily cleansing.
Tip #2: Consider Your Brows
Did you know that shaped brows can help hide dark under eyes? Depending on your overall features, a half-moon shaped brow can mirror your under eyes and create a pleasing illusion – plus, gorgeous brows help draw the attention away from tired under eyes.
If you’d like your brows to do their bit in hiding under eye darkness, talk to the team at your local Beauty and Brow. They’d love to shape your gorgeous brows to make the most of your gorgeous features!
Tip #3: Brighten and Illuminate
Our Ruposhi Brightening Eye Cream is perhaps your best defence against tired under eyes. This lightweight cream hydrates and smooths under eyes, while disguising darkness with tiny luminous spheres of radiance.
The Ruposhi Brightening Eye Cream is perfect for everyday wear, with its subtle yet powerful illuminating effects. It works particularly well with our range of Ruposhi Brow cosmetics and our gorgeous Highlighter Pencil, although it can also be used alone for the busy gal on the go!

Skincare can be super easy to neglect – in between work, study, and family responsibilities, taking some time to pamper your skin can feel like an unnecessary indulgence.
But remember our Beauty and Brow motto – self-care is a priority, not a luxury! So, read on for tips for maintaining your skincare routine without the hassle:
Protect Your Skin
Did you know that the skin is the body’s largest organ? It also has the important job of protecting the rest of your body, and thus is vulnerable to damage from various environmental impacts.
Perhaps the greatest of these is the sun – in addition to potential health risks, like skin cancer, failing to protect your skin from the sun can also cause accelerated aging, sun spots, and fine lines.
Make sure to always wear a good quality sunscreen – even in winter! The sun’s harmful UV rays are hiding just behind the clouds, so protect your precious skin every time you step outside.
Nourish Your Skin
Like the rest of your body, the skin requires the right combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to stay healthy. In addition to making sure your diet is rich in healthy fruits, veg, and proteins, you can also give your skin an extra boost with dedicated skincare treatments.
At Beauty and Brow, our beauty consultants are experts at choosing the perfect treatment for your beautiful skin. We offer a range of services, including skin balancing treatments to correct pH imbalances, plus microdermabrasion, non-surgical facelifts, and much, much more!
You can maintain your skincare routine in between trips to the salon by cleansing your face every day (especially if you wear makeup) and using a good-quality moisturiser to ensure your skin is always supple and soft.
Love Your Skin
Skincare tips are all well and good – but at the Beauty and Brow Parlour, we believe the most important thing is self-love. Don’t hate on your skin for perceived imperfections – remember the hard work it does every day and treat it kindly by maintaining a beauty routine that works for you.
Don’t forget to drop into your local Beauty and Brow for your regular dose of professional skincare and self-love – we’re here to help you feel beautiful inside and out!
Eyebrows are definitely having a moment… and it doesn’t look like the bold brow trend is going anywhere anytime soon!
So, with that in mind, our Beauty and Brow consultants are here to debunk the most common myths about brows!
Myth: the same brow shape works for everyone
Nope! Our beauty experts agree that your perfect brow shape depends on your other features. Your brow shape should enhance, highlight, and soften the right angles on your face for the most killer brow looks.
Not confident in choosing the perfect brows for your face? Our Beauty and Brow team would love to create the perfect brow shape for you – just talk to our friendly beauty consultants at your local parlour!
Myth: both brows should look exactly the same
There’s an old saying that goes… brows should be sisters, not twins! There’s lots of reasons your brows might not be perfectly symmetrical – and that’s okay! Our faces aren’t entirely symmetrical either – so it’s natural to have a bit of variation.
Our Ruposhi range includes our Brow Perfector, a precise tool for defining and enhancing the finest details. If you’d like to make sure your brows are just as lovely on both sides, try our Brow Perfector for the ultimate in creating your perfect brows!
Myth: there’s nothing you can do about sparse brows
This one is definitely a myth! In fact, those with sparse brows have even more freedom when it comes to choosing the perfect shape. Our experienced beauty consultants offer tinting and henna tinting to totally transform your brows – just let us know!
Plus, our range of Ruposhi cosmetics include our Brow Powder, the perfect antidote for sparse or uneven brows – the four natural colours available are perfect for filling and shaping every set of brows!
Get Your Best Brows Yet at Beauty and Brow
Love brows? So do we! Visit your local Beauty and Brow today for your full brow makeover with our experienced beauty consultants – and check out our range of exclusive Ruposhi cosmetics while you’re here.
We’ll see you soon!
It’s definitely been a tough start to 2021 for many of us. With further lockdowns, health worries, and isolation from family and friends, you might be feeling a bit drained, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted.
There’s never been a more important time to care for your mental health, and practicing regular self-care is one of the best ways to focus on wellness.
At The Beauty and Brow Parlour, our favourite method of self-care is beauty therapy! Investing in your beauty regime doesn’t just help you look good – it’s the perfect time to enjoy caring for your body, mind, and soul.
Try Out Some Makeup Looks
Not going anywhere? Doesn’t mean you can’t still have some fun with makeup! In fact, we think lockdown is the perfect occasion to try out some fun new brow looks – why not put your fave Ruposhi Brow products to work and create a bold brow look you’ve always been too nervous to try? You might end up loving it!
Include Beauty in Your Daily Routine
Short on time? How about including some little doses of self-care while you do your daily tasks? A luxurious body wash won’t cost a fortune and helps make shower time that bit more indulgent. If you’re a fan of a relaxing bath, might we suggest that soaking in some bubbles is the perfect time to add a face mask?
Do What Feels Good
Self-care is different for everyone, and so is beauty therapy. The only thing that matters is dedicating some time to you, free from distractions and stress. Keep caring for your mind, soul, and body in a way that works for you!
Even if you’re one of the many who can’t visit our parlours right now, rest assured that our Beauty and Brow team is ready and waiting to see you again soon. In the meantime, take care – and remember, self-care is a priority, not a luxury!
