Cosmetic treatment for melasma

Melasma is a skin related problem which happens with age. These are brown to gray-brown patches which pile up on the cheeks, nose, chin, above lips and forehead. It is more common to appear on places where you expose under the sun, for example neck and forearms. One common way to prevent or treat melasma is sun protection. You have to wear sunscreens everyday and you have to reapply according to the SPF content. SPF creams also differ in quality and results, which is why wearing hats or carrying umbrellas are much safer! Women are more likely to have melasma than men. It is very common during pregnancy and post delivery. A lot of people refer it to be pregnancy masks since the hormone trigger melasma. Let us go through the step by step process to figure out how to detect and treat melasma:

Steps to detect and treat melasma

Beauty tips for glowing skin

  • Mirror is your friend: the earliest signs of having acne or aging are spotted by the mirror. When you think something is probably wrong with you skin, it is detected by the mirror. Befriend your mirror and look closely. If there are unlikely patches forming on your skin you need to detect them soon. They might be slightly irritating when exposed under the sun. It also gets difficult to cover up with makeup.
  • Diagnosis: since most women have melasma after hormonal changes in pregnancy, the pregnancy mask is one unfortunate part about delivering a baby. The combination of estrogen or birth control pills along with sun exposure triggers this condition. Once it starts it tends to recur. Sometimes the minimal amount of sun exposure worsens the condition. Melasma can be deeply pigmented or be on the surface. Thus, the faster you detect, the faster you can treat.
  • Cosmetic treatment: treatments have to consider both the aspects, removing hormonal problems that trigger this and creams to remove the existing pigment.The first and foremost step is to avoid sun exposure for one year. This reduces the hormones which trigger your condition. Pregnancy ends but birth controlling pills might continue, which is why your condition could continue too. Thus, even if you’re hormonal triggers are on and you have slightest bit of sun exposure, you can have the patches back or have them increased. You can treat your skin with skin lighteners, prescribed skin bleaches from the chemist’s store. You can opt for retinoid creams and good quality sunscreens which will not only protect but prevent the patches to occur. The easiest way is to visit a dermatologist who would tell you what stage your Melasma is in. A doctor will give you medicated creams and gels which is better than the regular cosmetic that you would choose.
