Sun Spots vs Melasma — What’s the Difference?

Not all dark spots are the same. Two of the most common are sun spots and melasma.

☀️ Sun spots are small, round marks from years of UV exposure, usually on the face, chest, and hands.
👶 Melasma shows up as larger, patchy discoloration on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. It is often linked to hormones like pregnancy or birth control, and worsened by UV.

Knowing the difference is the first step toward effective treatment.

Melasma Basics

Melasma looks different than sun spots. It shows up as larger, patchy discoloration on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip.

Hormonal changes (like pregnancy or birth control) and UV exposure are common triggers. Melasma can be more stubborn to treat without professional care.

Sun Damage Basics
Sun damage builds slowly over time, showing up as small, round brown spots often called sun spots or solar lentigines. They are your skin’s way of reminding you that every bit of unprotected sun exposure leaves a mark.

They usually appear on the face, chest, and hands, the areas that catch the most sun. While not dangerous like skin cancer, they are a sign of damage and can make skin look older or uneven.

The best prevention is simple and effective: daily sunscreen, protective clothing, hats, and shade. Protecting your skin now helps prevent new spots from forming later.

Where do dark spots come from?
☀️ Years of sun exposure slowly damage skin and leave behind visible marks.
😷 Breakouts and acne can cause inflammation that heals with lingering discoloration.
👶 Hormonal changes and pregnancy can trigger larger patches of pigmentation, especially on the face.
⏳ Natural aging makes skin more vulnerable to uneven tone and spots over time.

Each cause has its own pathway and requires a different treatment approach. That is why getting the right diagnosis is the first and most important step.

What Are Dark Spots?

Dark spots are common, but not all are the same. Some are freckles from UV exposure, some are sun spots that show up with age, and others are marks left behind after acne. Each type has a different cause and treatment.

The first step to clearer skin is knowing what type of pigmentation you are dealing with.

What Not to Do With Acne (Mistakes to Avoid)

Guilty of any of these? It’s OK, now you know 🔄
Clear skin is about consistency and care, not perfection.

✨ What Not to Do With Acne ✨
❌ Picking or popping
❌ Using too many products at once
❌ Sleeping in makeup / skipping SPF

08/15/2025

Start simple, stick with it 💪
Not all acne is the same — and your treatment shouldn’t be either.
💡 Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) responds best to retinoids and azelaic acid.
💡 Hormonal cystic acne often needs a combo approach: retinoids, antibiotics, and sometimes anti-androgens.

Start with the right ingredient, give it time, and stick with it. Your skin will thank you.
General Tip: “Consistency is more important than doing everything.”

08/12/2025

Comedonal acne looks like blackheads and whiteheads, most often on the forehead and nose. You might also notice more prominent pores in these areas.

Hormonal cystic acne causes deeper, more painful bumps, often showing up around the chin and jawline.

Different types of acne respond best to different treatments. The key is knowing what you are dealing with and treating it the right way.
