Melasma is characterized by brownish patches that appear on spots on the face, mainly in the cheek area. It can be triggered by several factors, such as sun exposure without protection, use of acids, hormonal changes, and/or lack of dermal resistance. It can affect all skin types.
And how to take care of it?
If you already have the condition, there are measures to control melanin production. Among them:
Focus on your diet
Refined and ultra-processed products can stimulate inflammation in the body and, consequently, worsen melasma. A menu rich in fruits, vegetables, greens, and proteins will help minimize your melasma.
Drink water
Fluid intake helps with skin health. Stay hydrated by consuming about two liters of water per day. You can supplement this with teas and juices - all without adding sugar.
Boost your skincare
Invest in moisturizing creams with biotechnological action. AMAKOS da Amazônia has active ingredients that work on the cells from the inside out, strengthening the skin barrier, assisting in defense, and preventing and minimizing spots. Many are also antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E present in the formulas of the Sangue de Dragão Antioxi line and the Copaíba Hydra line.
The Cacay Vital Facial Cream, which contains the active ingredient proanthocyanidin, an antioxidant 20 times more potent than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E, contributes to deep regeneration and hydration.
Use sunscreen
But avoid those with chemical substances, as they are dangerous to our body since they can cause hormonal disruptions, among other problems. Soon, here at AMAKOS da Amazônia, you will be able to find sunscreens formulated with natural ingredients and committed to clean beauty.
Melasma takes time to disappear. You need to be patient. But with the right care, it is possible to minimize the spots and strengthen the skin more and more.
