Why does our skin tone change as we age?

Have you ever heard someone talk about “age spots” and wonder what they are? Perhaps you have noticed that as you are aging that your skin tone is even appearing more uneven and dull, but you can’t quite put your finger on why that is.

Our skin takes a lot of wear and tear as we go through life. Add to this, as women, our skin also faces a lot of internal impact due to the immense amount of hormonal fluctuations we face throughout life. This puts a lot of stress on our skin and, in turn, it will slowly lose its brightness & glow over time. The wonderful thing is, if we can be aware of the causes of these things, we can provide our skin with some epic nourishment that can help it continue looking and feeling its best as we go through life.

So let's kick off with why we develop uneven skin tone as we age…

It is mainly caused by a mix of internal changes like slower cell renewal & hormonal shifts, as well as external stressors like sun exposure & pollution.

As we get older, our melanocyte activity (the cells that produce pigment) becomes more irregular. So instead of producing an even amount of melanin, they start clustering or over-reacting in certain areas, especially after years of UV exposure. This leads to sunspots, age spots, and general blotchiness.

Now, at the same time, our skin cell turnover slows down, meaning dead cells linger on the surface, making any pigmentation worse, leaving our complexion looking duller and more uneven. Collagen & elastin stores & production also decline. This can cause our skin to appear thinner & less radiant, which accentuates any discolouration we may have.

Internally, hormonal fluctuations, chronic inflammation, plus oxidative stress (this can come from diet, stress, or pollution) further stimulate pigment overproduction. Even low-grade inflammation, like from acne, harsh products, or daily UV exposure, can send signals to our body that trigger it to produce excess melanin.

 

Sun & UV damage → long-term pigment buildup

Hormone changes → melasma and blotchiness

Slower cell renewal → uneven texture and tone

Inflammation & oxidative stress → pigment overproduction

 

Next, onto how we can provide our skin with nourishment to help combat this…

The Hyper Renew Kit forms a wonderful baseline daily routine to address these internal processes that are causing havoc on our complexion. These two formulas complement each other beautifully when it comes to evening out skin tone as we age. They target the issues from two main angles: internal rejuvenation and pigment regulation.

Firstly, the Anti-Aging Complex

This beautiful, refreshing pineapple flavoured drink helps to tackle texture, hydration, and cell renewal, which are key to improving uneven tone that comes from dullness, roughness, & slower regeneration.

Lustriva® helps restore firmness and elasticity by supporting collagen production & boosting skin structure. This gives a smoother, more even surface that reflects light more uniformly.

Hydrolyzed Collagen & Keratin help to improve the integrity of skin and barrier repair, helping fade textural irregularities that make pigmentation look uneven.

Vitamin C + Amla Fruit Powder act as antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and lighten existing pigmentation while protecting from new sun-induced damage.

Grapeseed Extract enhances microcirculation & provides polyphenols that defend against UV oxidation. This is one of the biggest accelerators of age spots.

Hyaluronic Acid improves hydration & plumps the skin, minimizing the visibility of uneven patches and giving that dewy, uniform glow.

Probiotic Blend helps to balance the gut-skin axis, helping calm inflammation & redness that contribute to uneven tone and patchiness.

Essentially, this powder makes the skin’s canvas healthier, firmer, and more radiant, so any pigmentation or dullness looks much less noticeable.

Now the Hyperpigmentation Cleanse

These convenient little capsules help correct the root cause of pigment imbalance, overactive melanocytes, inflammation, & oxidative stress, which all worsen with age.

Licorice Root helps suppress the enzyme tyrosinase, slowing melanin overproduction & brightening existing dark areas.

Polypodium Leaf provides internal photoprotection, reducing UV-induced pigment activation & helping to prevent new age spots.

Dragon’s Blood Powder & White Tea Leaf work to help calm chronic inflammation that triggers uneven pigmentation.

Pomegranate & Knotweed Extract act as powerful antioxidants that help even skin tone by neutralizing free radicals & supporting skin renewal.

CoQ10 helps boost cellular energy & skin repair, important for fading stubborn sunspots and restoring clarity.

Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin C, A, and E all support proper skin cell turnover and pigment regulation, reducing blotchiness & discoloration over time.

This epic formula harnesses the power of 17 unique botanical ingredients to help keep pigment cells calm & regulated while helping your skin resist new dark spots and fade old ones.

The result of the Hyper Renew Kit is a complexion that looks brighter, smoother, & more even-toned, not just temporarily, but long-term!

Maintain the glowing complexion you deserve at all ages!
