melasma

Often referred to as the “mask of pregnancy”, Melasma can be a challenging skin condition to keep under control.

When your summer pigment is fading but grayish-brown patches of color are sticking around, it is likely Melasma. This skin condition is accentuated due to a variety of factors; a change in hormones (birth control or pregnancy), sun exposure and even genetics. As this condition cannot be cured, the goal is to manage and prevent it from worsening.
