Winning Skin Strategies Over Melasma aka The Mask of Pregnancy

Melasma is a common skin problem that causes brown to grey-brown patches usually on the face. They appear mostly on the cheeks, nose bridge, forehead, chin, and above the upper lip. It can also appear on other parts of the body that get exposed to sun frequently, such as the forearms and neck. It is so common during pregnancy that Melasma is known as "The Mask of Pregnancy".

Pregnancy causes your body to produce more hormones, which in turn causes an increase in pigmentation. Melasma often goes away after pregnancy. Birth control pills, stress, thyroid disease and hormone therapy can all trigger melasma. Extension long period of sun exposure can also cause Melasma as the ultraviolet rays can affect melanocytes (the cells that control pigment). Melasma may be more common in women but men can also suffer under this condition.

Brown to gray-brown patches know as Melasma

Jenna Dewan Tatum is one of the super mommies who was affected by Melasma during her pregnancy. She had been fighting to fix Melasma for TWO YEARS until she finally found a pigmentation reduction treatment called Coolaser from Epione. Check her skin's amazing transformation in the following picture.

But hmmm..... she does look like she is starring in the latest sci-fi movie with all those needles! I don't know if I can relax like this though.

We save you the trouble of finding the most suitable treatments and product to fix Melasma without suffering under the needles poking like Jenna Dewan Tatum. Thank us later.
