4 Common Melasma Mistakes to Avoid
Treating melasma takes more than just the right products—it also requires consistency and the right long-term approach.
✗ Stopping treatment too soon
Melasma doesn't clear overnight. Consistent treatment is key to achieving and maintaining results.
✗ Skipping maintenance treatment
Even after melasma improves, ongoing maintenance is often needed to help prevent it from returning.
✗ Assuming all pigmentation is melasma
Not every dark patch is melasma. Pigmentation can also be caused by sun damage or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which may require different treatments.
✗ Not wearing sunscreen every day
Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential. Rain or shine, summer or winter, sunscreen helps protect your skin and reduce the risk of melasma recurring.
If you're struggling with pigmentation, an accurate diagnosis is the first step to finding the most effective treatment.
