How to Treat Melasma NATURALLY

Sunscreens the first step in melasma treatment!
.
If you are seeing my team & I for treatment of melasma or pigmentation, the proper use of sunscreen will give you the highest chances of pigment reduction.
.
Why use vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a powerful skincare vitamin & forms the last vitamin of the ABCs of dermatology. It is a pigment inhibitor: frequently prescribed to reduce pigment production, it is useful to treat melasma pigment, age spots & post acne marks.
.
Azelaic acid is believed to treat pigmentation by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the production of melanin. By reducing the production of melanin in the skin, azelaic acid can help to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
.
Niacinamide inhibits the transfer of melanin: Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color, and an overproduction of melanin can lead to hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide helps to inhibit the transfer of melanin to the skin cells, which can help to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

Thank you for this video, very informative. I've had melasma for years and have tried lots of products without results. I'll definitely get these products. 🇿🇦

[@Sama_jo]

I love your channel

[@velaelizazzta]

Can we use them all in the morning for example?

[@Chanel15477]

Why use vitamin C during the day, instead of night, wouldn't that enhance sun effects,?

[@VeganismIsDeath-cz9mn]

Apparently, vitamin C in the morning boosts the efficacy of SPF.

Can supplements like procyanidin and betacarotene treat melasma?

[@vanilla6595]

@luzreyes4123 if it's about treating then no. Just a help.

When I was pregnant, I had melasma. Who cared? I sure didn't. I was growing my beautiful baby boy. It was NOT about me. Then I gave birth and nursed. Again, now I was feeding my amazing baby boy, so who cared?
Motherhood is a gift. There's plenty of time to fix your hormonal skin. I also stopped coloring my hair. Man, did I look like shit, haha, but who cared?
Not me. It was ALL about my baby.

There are millions of women who care. Simply because you do not does not mean everyone is the same. I’d rather keep the melasma flare up under control during pregnancy than wait until the end of pregnancy and/or breastfeeding because letting an issue fester makes things much more difficult to correct than if you tried to address it early on. Mind you, you can care about your baby and use azelaic acid/glycolic.

[@SaboCatGirl]

Well we aren’t all about your baby and some of us care about our skin. This video obviously wasn’t for you or your baby. Also, this isn’t even a video about pregnancy, it’s a video about a skin condition that can be caused by things other than pregnancy. Go rant on a mommy blog 😂

[@KatherineDuque]

I had a baby and I cared sooo much about my melasma. It made me feel ugly. I still struggle with it ever since pregnancy. Good times.

[@MidnightSunshine27]

You should care! Even if it is all about your baby. I have so many male friends that love the mom of their kids but the woman they fell in love with, stopped caring and then they stop caring too.

[@KatherineDuque]

@@MidnightSunshine27 exactly! Amen

[@vanilla6595]

Frankly speaking ,I just saw my.maid apply azailic acid cream 20% on.melasma spot, she got severe itching, blisters and her whole jawline swollen up, don't use if u hv already photosensitive skin, instead use hydroquinone, it will lighten it much more.

[@organicmamajones2743]

I use a drop on my face and I don't use everyday bc my skin is really sensitive so I use two or three times a week

[@WW-ob7ek]

Doc, you have so much wrinkles

[@ritzz3238]

U bitter🤪
