Melasma Skincare Tips for Sunny Days
Melasma is an extremely common skin condition that causes blotchy patches of discolored skin on the face. And because sunlight can trigger melasma, you may be wondering what you can do to protect yourself during the sunnier months ahead. Here are some tips: (1) Limit your time in the sun. The easiest way to avoid melasma is to spend less time in direct sunlight. Keep your skin covered and stay in shady areas when it's hot and sunny outside. (2) Wear a wide brimmed hat to keep your face shaded when spending time outdoors. (3) Apply sunscreen religiously, and don't forget to reapply every 2 hours. (4) Stay away from skincare products that irritate your skin. They can make your melasma worse even if you avoid direct sunlight.
