Melasma
Melasma is very common, especially in women. Most people think that is it caused from sun damage but research shows that it is caused by liver damage. Like age spots, liver spots and melasma are protective responses from the skin.
If you have melasma in many areas of your face this tends to be a result of liver damage. Usually from birth control, hormone medications or pregnancy after age 30. Each hormone will affect different parts of your face. The forehead is from Progesterone, the cheeks are from Estrogen and around the mouth is primarily from Testosterone.
Underneath the brown colour is inflammation and redness. When exposed to significant sunlight the skin protects the redness with melanin resulting in large brown spots on the face. The best treatment for melasma is to cure it from the inside by starting to heal liver damage first.
Melasma is a condition that can be resolved. We have a holistic melasma treatment that will help to normalise the brown pigment over time.
Consider consulting with your physician or licensed skincare professional before embarking on a new treatment or skincare program. If you have any specific questions about these matters, consult a doctor or licensed skincare professional for a diagnosis and customized treatment plan.
