Melasma can be frustrating to say the least. This form of hyperpigmentation can be STUBBORN ! A few things you should know: -women > men -most common triggers include heat, UV light, & hormones (birth control, pregnancy) -inflammation makes it worse (pass on that upper lip wax) -it can be improved but relapses are common Some triggers are unavoidable. While you may be able skip the hot yoga, you can’t really escape the Miami heat/humidity for example. My recommendation is managing triggers, daily sun protection & a good skincare regimen to start. Prescriptions are often needed! Once you get that down you can slowly add procedures (with caution). Do you suffer from melasma? If so, what’s worked for you?! . . . . . . #melasmatreatment #hyperpigmentation #darkspots #pregnancyskincare #pregnancymask #birthcontrolpills #summerskincare #skintip #miamisummer #upperlipwax #hydroquinone #skinlightener #skincareregimen #hyperpigmentationtreatment #bestspf #sunscreenspf50
