What is Melanin? Understanding Its Role in Skin Pigmentation

While the tone of your skin is inherited, it can change over time due to sunlight, ageing, or even changes in health. The main pigment responsible for these changes is melanin, which is the substance that gives colour to the skin, hair, and eyes. It is produced in the deeper layers of the skin and plays a key role in how the skin appears and responds to light. For example, when the skin is exposed to sunlight, melanin production increases, causing it to darken. Even subtle differences in melanin levels can lead to visible skin changes such as uneven tone or dark patches. To explain how melanin affects skin pigmentation, this blog looks at what melanin is, how it works, and common disorders related to it. But before moving forward, here’s a closer look at melanin and why it matters.
