When managing melasma, a proper skincare routine can complement other treatments and help minimize its appearance. Here are some skincare tips to consider:

 

1. Avoid sun exposure

At the beginning you must avoid sun exposure. First, make sure to hydrate and moisturize the skin well before sun exposure. Prepare the skin at least one month in advance.

 

2. Gentle Cleansing

Use mild, non-abrasive cleansers to avoid skin irritating the skin. Harsh products can potentially exacerbate melasma.

 

3. Topical Treatments

Hydroquinone, retinoids, azelaic acid, kojic acid, and vitamin C can help lighten dark spots and even skin tone momentarily. However, once the individual is exposed to sunlight the melasma will get worse. All these products maximize risks of inflammation and lead to rebound effects. 

 

4. SAFE Topical Treatments

Natural skincare is non-negotiable. Look for specific ingredients such as: Astaxanthin, Bakuchiol, Seabuckthorn, Red Raspberry, Buriti, Copaiba, and Chamazulene (effective anti-inflammatory). Honored to carry all these ingredients in our day and night serum.

 

5. Avoid Irritants

Some skincare products or ingredients can irritate the skin and worsen melasma. Avoid harsh chemicals, fragrances, and exfoliants that could trigger inflammation.

 

6. Professional Treatments

Procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser therapy may be recommended for some professionals. However, these treatments are very aggressive and cause severe skin inflammation worsening the melasma. 

 

Remember, melasma can be challenging to treat and manage. It’s crucial to be patient with skincare routines, as improvement may take time. Consulting a specialist is key to developing a personalized skincare regimen and receiving guidance on the most effective treatment.
