Detailed answer

Hyperpigmentation is typically caused by an overproduction of melanin in the skin, which can result from various factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin injuries. Constant use of safety goggles or eye protection itself does not directly stimulate melanin production or cause hyperpigmentation. However, if the eye protection is ill-fitting or causes friction on the skin, it could potentially lead to skin irritation or inflammation that may trigger melanin production and contribute to hyperpigmentation. It is important to ensure proper fit and comfort when using eye protection and to take regular breaks to allow the skin to breathe and recover. Additionally, diligent use of broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed areas of the face can help prevent hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage.
