Melasma

Common skin issues include melasma. Facial spots of brown or gray-brown colour develop. You’re more likely to experience it on your cheekbones, nasal bridge, forehead, chin, and upper lip. Other sun-exposed areas, such as the arms and neck, may also be affected.

Sunscreen is often recommended as a preventative measure against melasma. This necessitates the use of sunscreen on a daily basis, with further applications every two hours. Outside, dermatologists also advise wearing a broad-brimmed hat. Applying sunscreen liberally may not be enough to prevent skin cancer.

Melasma affects women at a far higher rate than males. Some pregnant women even refer to it as “the mask of pregnancy” because of how frequent it is. Melasma seems to be triggered by hormones.
