P I G M E N TAT I O N
From sun damage to age spots, freckles
or pregnancy-related patchiness, Dr. Kate
Jameson, Cosmetic Physician and the
Medical Director of Youth Lab, Australia’s
premier medical aesthetics clinic, has our
go-to guide to overcoming pigmentation
and uneven skin tone.

W H AT I S P I G M E N TAT I O N ?

One of the major skin concerns we have in Australia is

premature ageing due to sun damage, also known as
photoaging. The hallmark signs of this are wrinkles, redness,
coarse skin texture and discolouration of the skin and
pigmentation.

Pigmentation can be a concern for almost all age groups and

appearing in people in their 20s with dark spots, blotchy

discolouration and worsening of hormonal pigmentation.
Pigmentation will worsen and become darker in the summer
months. There are many types of pigmentation which can be
caused by hormones (such as pregnancy or the contraceptive
pill), sun damage, trauma and genetics.

For those of us living in warmer climates, or even going on

holiday, pigmentation can become a daily concern. Anyone
can suffer from premature ageing and pigmentation due to
sun exposure. At higher risk include those who live in the
tropics, at high altitude, work outdoors, engage in outdoor
recreation activities and sports, have used sunbeds or
solariums, have sunbathed for long periods or used tanning
oils, and those who have fairer skin types.

W H AT C A U S E S P I G M E N TAT I O N ?

 One of the best parts about developing a personal
yoga practice is that you can take it with you wherever
you go. Here are 5 poses that you can do at home
(and master in time for your next vacation), to help
.

FORWARD BEND

Stand with your feet hips’ distance and parallel. With

your knees bent, fold forward and clasp each elbow.
Let your head relax and just hang forward without
.
relaxation pose. Hold for about 1–2 minutes. Come
up slowly.

S TA N D I N G S I D E S T R E TC H

Keep your feet as they are and reach your right arm
up while placing your left hand on your left hip. Keep
your hips squared to the front and lift your belly in
and up, tailbone down. Then lift your body up and
over to the left side taking care not to cave your
chest in. Hold for 5–15 breaths. Release and repeat
on your other side.

TREE POSE

Standing on your right foot, place the bottom of the

left foot on the inside of the right thigh. Stabilize
yourself by lifting your belly in and up, and dropping
your tailbone down. When you feel grounded, lift
your arms up and over your head until the palms
touch. Hold for 5–15 breaths, release, and repeat on
your other side.

RECLINED TWIST

Next, lie down. There is nothing better than yoga

done in bed! Bring your right knee up into your
.
knee all the way over to the bed on the left side and
stretch your right hand to the right. Hold the knee
down with your left hand. Hold for 5–15 breaths.
Release and repeat on your other side.

SAVASANA

You deserve a rest. Lie down on your back, stretching

your arms and legs out to the sides. Allow your feet
.C
eyes, move your face and jaw around, and take a few
long breaths in and out through the nose. Stay in this
pose until you feel all of your stress start to slip out
of your body.
