3 Things That Are Sure To Help You Get Rid Of Melasma
Melasma is a very common skin condition usually associated with the appearance of brown patches on the skin. The patches generally occupy the forehead, cheeks, jaw, upper lip, or chin. Though this skin condition is more common in women it also affects men, and is more likely to "hit" people with olive or darker skin. There are many known causes of Melasma, such as, sun exposure, hormonal changes (pregnancy, taking pills with estrogen or progesterone, hormone replacement, etc.), and some skin care products and cosmetics. For the ladies out there who make an effort to take care of their skin, melasma can be a menace! Still, melasma is not a curse and as any other skin condition it is manageable! Read on if you want to learn 3 easy ways to keep dark spots at bay!
Protecting Your Skin With High SPF
The best way to deal with melasma is to prevent it, if possible. It is much more difficult to eliminate this condition compared to preventing it from happening in the first place (as with other skin concerns). So how can we prevent it? Protect your skin with very high SPF. Simple as that. If you know that you are prone to developing melisma (i.e your mom had it when she was pregnant), it is recommended that you use sunscreens with at least SPF 50 containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These 2 ingenious ingredients are the ones responsible for blocking UVA rays ( A for Aging) and UVB rays (B for Burning).
If prevention is not an option anymore and you are already trying to deal with melasma, sun protection will help avoid further discoloration from occurring, so don’t underestimate it. Also, aiding your sunscreen with wide brimmed hats is a must when you absolutely have to simmer in the scorching hot sun.

Using Skin Brightening Products
In conjunction with sunscreen and regular exfoliation, skin brightening creams are essential to reducing hyper-pigmentation. When it comes to reducing dark spots and evening the skin tone, the ultimate champ is Vitamin C. Not only vitamin C will diminishing hyperpigmented marks (au revoir, brown spots!) but it will boost collagen production (goodbye, wrinkles!), and shield skin from free radicals (hello healthy skin!). There are many products out there that contain Vitamin C, but always keep in mind, choose organic! With organic products, brightening your skin has never been this safe!

Regular Exfoliation
We have talked about exfoliation many times on our blog, and there is a reason why. It is very important! We can’t stress on this enough. Melasma or no melasma, exfoliation is the key to maintaining healthy glowing skin. If you have melasma, exfoliation can help remove the pigmented skin cells on the top most layer and at the same time help your treatments penetrate deeper into your skin. Start with exfoliating once a week, and increase gradually while monitoring your skin for redness or irritation. If you see irritation, decrease frequency. Remember, exfoliate gently or you will be at risk of increasing pigmentation on your skin.
With these 3 essential steps, you can finally bid adieu to melasma! Trust me!
