Hyperpigmentation is one of the most skincare issues that dermatologists treat on a daily basis. It's the production of excess melanin causing dark spots on the skin. Sunspots, hormones, scars from acne or even injury (burns, cuts, abrasions) and exposure to damaging external factors such as pollution, sun damage, heat, blue light from computer screens & TV causes it to increase therefore it's majorly visible on face & neck.
Essential oils for hyperpigmentation play a crucial role in skincare. What makes essential oils good for clearing hyperpigmentation is their skin lightening properties, cicatrisant properties and anti-inflammatory effects. Lemon, Juniper Berry and Geranium essential oil, for example, are rich in limonene which reduces inflammation and brightens the skin. Essential oils nourish the skin, promote cell renewal and regeneration as well as boost collagen production, all of which contribute healthy skin.

This troubles men and women alike, here is listing a few Essential Oil blends that are known to be effective.
