Skin pigmentation and Fenty Beauty foundation release

Skin pigmentation is driven by melanin, a natural pigment produced by melanocytes in the epidermis. Melanin is transferred to surrounding keratinocytes, influencing the color of skin, hair, and eyes while providing protection against ultraviolet radiation. Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain skin areas become darker due to increased melanin production or localized accumulation, whereas hypopigmentation results in lighter areas due to decreased melanin.

In beauty news, Fenty Beauty has introduced a new moisturizing foundation at Sephora designed for mature skin. The product utilizes Fluid Flex technology, which is intended to move with facial expressions to prevent pigment from settling into wrinkles or fine lines. The formula includes starfruit extract for antioxidant properties, vitamin E, and a vitamin C derivative to support skin appearance and sebum control.
