Melasma,
AKA mask of pregnancy, has been a growing challenge in women of all ages and skin
types. Melasma is caused by an over production of melanin in the skin, most commonly
caused by hormone fluctuations in women.
Melasma
is a skin condition presenting as brown patches on the face of adults. Melasma
appears as brown or gray-brown patches on the face & generally appear on the
cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and chin. Melasma is associated with ultraviolet
exposure, pregnancy, birth control pills, and hormone replacement therapy.
