Discoloration, also known as hyperpigmentation, can arise from a variety of different aggressors. Lighter skin doesn’t contain very many melanocytes or melanin (which is responsible for giving skin and hair their color), making it more susceptible to hyperpigmentation. However, discoloration can affect all skin tones and types.
Light skin tones tend to have a pink undertone and can burn easily in the sun. Acne scars, sun spots, bruising and broken capillaries are more apt to show up on lighter skin because it is thinner and fair.
The most common skin tone among Caucasians and Asians, light- to medium-colored skin has beige or yellow undertones, and hyperpigmentation of all forms can be a common concern.
Darker skin types—think Latinas and those of Mediterranean descent—have medium or olive skin tones and are more prone to acne scarring, sun damage and prolonged hyperpigmentation.
Very dark skin types are most common in African Americans. Although it has more melanin, very dark skin can burn (even though it doesn’t show as much), is prone to sun damage, and is more susceptible to developing brown spots.
Whether your hyperpigmentation is brown, pink or red, the discolored portion of your skin is basically signaling that it’s been damaged. In terms of how deep damage can go within the skin, it’s mostly dependent on the color, size and age of your hyperpigmentation.

Collagen and peptides are found in plenty of skincare products, and their benefits and sources vary greatly. Now, researchers have found that a certain combination, featuring a collagen tripeptide from a specific seafaring source, may be the answer those with sensitive skin have been looking for.
The San Gallicano Dermatological Institute recently identified two compounds with individual abilities that add up to relief for sensitive skin when combined in a lotion. The first, a gluco-oligosaccharide, helps protect skin from infection without inducing bacterial resistance; the other, a collagen tripeptide, stimulates fibroblast production—and it just happens to be acquired from fish skin.
Together, when applied topically, study volunteers with sensitive skin experienced a decrease in inflammation, roughness, and trans-epidermal water loss, as well as an increase in the uniformity of skin’s surface. Researchers also found a stabilization in pH.
The demonstrated normalization could mean that this combination will appear in future formulas aimed at treating sensitivity. However, because of the fish-derived portion of the mixture, vegans with sensitive skin would need to continue looking for another option.

Have you ever automatically assumed that someone drop-dead gorgeous is dimwitted? Perhaps you’ve thought someone has gotten special treatment at work or school because of their looks? Well, it turns out the most attractive among us are probably the most intelligent, too.
Although our society has long associated impressive intellect with an awkward, nerdy appearance and bimbo brainpower with model-like looks, British and American studies show that beautiful people have higher IQs.
This should come as no surprise to someone like Sharon Stone, whose celebrated beauty never stood in the way of her qualifying for Mensa membership.
“Physical attractiveness is significantly positively associated with general intelligence, both with and without controls for social class, body size and health,” researcher Satoshi Kanazawa told the UK’s Sunday Times.
The explanation for the link lies in our evolutionary mating tendencies. Good-looking people attract partners who are not just good-looking themselves, but also smarter than average. The resulting offspring inherit both genetic qualities.
And although the higher-IQ occurrence applies to both genders, “The association between attractiveness and general intelligence is … stronger among men than among women,” with physically attractive women scoring 11.4 points above average and physically attractive men scoring 13.6 points above average.
Having a hard time thinking of smart stunners? Here are some hotties you might have not realized are intellectually impressive:
Kate Beckinsale
Jennifer Connelly
Cindy Crawford
Matt Damon
Claire Danes
James Franco
Hugh Grant
Alicia Keys
Lucy Liu
Natalie Portman
Shakira
Brooke Shields
Emma Watson
Reese Witherspoon

It’s a hotly debated topic. Some doctors promote mega-doses of antioxidants, while others warn against exactly that. But here’s the thing: the potential dangers vary depending on the vitamin or mineral.
While high doses of water-soluble vitamins, like B and C are easily secreted through urine, fat-soluble vitamins, like A, are not. Too much vitamin A can lead to extremely dry, fractured skin and even cataracts.
Taking excessive amounts of a supplement doesn’t necessarily enhance its performance, and, in fact, overuse of certain supplements can lead to kidney and liver damage.
The bottom line: if you’re going to stray from the recommended daily allowances, only do so under a doctor’s or nutritionist’s supervision, so you can be monitored in the event of side effects.
