🌞 Melasma: What You Need to Know 🌞
If you have noticed blotchy, brown patches on your skin, especially on the face, you are not alone. Melasma is a common condition, often triggered by sun exposure, hormones, and genetics. While it can be stubborn, there is hope with the right approach!
🛡️ Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable:
Daily SPF 50+ is your best friend, no matter the weather. Pair it with a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection.
🧴 Topical Treatments Work Wonders:
Products with hydroquinone, tretinoin, or azelaic acid can lighten and even out skin tone over time.
💊 For Stubborn Cases:
Oral tranexamic acid (TxA) might be an option, but only with careful guidance.
✨ Procedures, With Caution:
Chemical peels can help, but lasers should be used sparingly to avoid worsening pigmentation.
