What is one of the key indicators of skin health?

Even pigmentation is a key indicator of skin health because it reflects a uniform distribution of melanin in the skin. When pigmentation is even, it suggests that the skin is functioning normally and has a balanced response to UV exposure and other environmental factors. Uneven pigmentation can often indicate various skin issues such as sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or conditions like melasma, which can signal underlying health concerns, either internally or related to external factors.

By maintaining even pigmentation, the skin also appears more vibrant and youthful, contributing to the overall aesthetic quality. In many cases, skin that exhibits even pigmentation is associated with proper care, hydration, and protection. Thus, evaluating pigmentation is a crucial part of assessing skin health in a facial specialist practice.
