6 DIY Face Packs To Treat Pigmentation on Skin

Skin pigmentation is a result of the overproduction of melanin. It is a pigment that leads to dark spots, skin darkening, and patchy skin. In the case of hyperpigmentation, it can even spread to hands, toes, fingers, and areas around the mouth. The skin problem commonly happens to those with wheatish skin tone and dark skin.
