Melasma is a frustrating skin condition that causes patches and spots, usually on the face, which are darker than your natural skin tone.

CAUSES OF MELASMA
-The major cause of Melasma is hormonal fluctuation and imbalances.
-Women who take oral or patch contraceptives and also hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medications are also prone to developing Melasma, which comes on gradually.
-Thyroid Disease
-People with olive or light brown skin types living in areas with intense sun exposure
-Melasma can also form during pregnancy, in which case it is known as ‘the mask of pregnancy.’
This kind of Melasma usually dissipates after pregnancy.

Sunscreen
You want a very good reliable sunscreen to be part of your skin care especially if you are wearing this during the daytime. Or, stay out of the sun and use a sunscreen that also protects from blue light such as light from the computer and cell phones. I suffer this condition too and I use the brand MyDayScreen as it is the best sunscreen I have ever used to protect my Melasma. And, it is not as expensive-- plus they usually send lots of samples when you order direct (can also be found in Amazon Storefront). They even offer a tinted sunscreen for face (and body) and they have a beach-worthy sunscreen too. I love them all!
