We are all born with clear and flawless skin. But in due course of time, there can be various skin disorders. This is because as we grow and get outside, a number of external factors begin to affect us. Pollution, sun exposure, environmental conditions all take toll on the skin. And because of this your body may lower the production of melanin or the blood vessels won't function properly. Also, there can be a number of other disorders that you may develop due to excessive exposure to sunlight. Tanning and sun burns being the most common, there are plenty of complications after it

Here are some common skin pigmentation disorders:

Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that is caused by the lack or complete absence of pigmentation in the skin. The body contains an abnormal gene that prevents the production of melanin. There may not be a complete cure for albinism but individuals suffering from it should take necessary precautions. They should apply sunscreen all through the day be it indoors or outdoors. This is because due to lack of melanin, the skin becomes extremely vulnerable to sun damage risking them to diseases like skin cancer. Try the all new Nia 24 Sun Damage Prevention SPF 30.
