Clear Complexions
Struggling with brown spots, or dark patches on your face, especially on your cheeks, forehead, or upper lip? You might be dealing with melasma, a common skin condition that causes brown or gray patches to form.
How to Prevent Melasma from Darkening?
Melasma is often nicknamed "the pregnancy mask" because it's triggered by hormonal changes. UV sun rays stimulate pigment production, making melasma patches darker and more noticeable. If you have melasma, daily application of sun protection with SPF 30 or higher is crucial to manage your condition. Melasma can be frustrating, but you're not alone! It often affects those with darker skin tones, commonly triggered by hormones, worsened by sun exposure, heat and inflammation.
Brown, Patchy Skin and Uneven Skin Tone
When you look into the mirror, do you see brown or brownish-gray patches on your cheeks, nose, or forehead? This could be melasma, a common skin condition that is far more common in women than in men. In fact, about 90% of people with this condition are women.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a skin issue that causes brown or grayish patches to appear on your face. These brown patches are typically symmetrical, with similar dark spots on both sides of the face. Pigmentation caused by melasma can show up on your cheeks, forehead, nose or upper lip. It is more common in people with darker skin tones and can be triggered by hormones, pregnancy, certain medications as well as genetics.
What causes Melasma?
Clinical studies have shown there is a significant correlation between iron deficiency and melasma. Very common women with Melasma have low ferritin levels, iron, folate, vitamin B12 and Vitamin C. Melasma is often found in people with poor gut health or an abnormal or slugglish liver function. Maintaining a healthy diet, good nutrition, adequate sleep, regular excercise, try to reduce stress along with daily vitamins and supplements all contribute to help balance hormones. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle promotes healthy liver function to absorb these nutrients and regulate hormones. Fuel your body with healthy choices and you will be rewarded with bright healthy glowing skin!

When to consider Melasma Treatments
Melasma can be like an uninvited guest on your face. Those stubborn patches might not cause physical harm, but they can leave you feeling self-conscious. So, how do you know when it's time to consider treatment? Here are some signs to watch for:
•The Patches Become Your New Normal: Melasma can come and go, but if those dark patches seem to have set up permanent residence, it might be time to address them.
•Makeup Feels Like Camouflage: Do you find yourself layering on concealer just to cover the melasma? Treatment can help you achieve a more even skin tone, reducing reliance on heavy makeup.
•It's Affecting Your Confidence: Melasma shouldn't dim your inner light. If it's impacting your self-esteem, treatment can help you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin.
•The Patches Spread: Melasma can start small, but if you notice it spreading to new areas of your face, treatment can help prevent further progression.
