I think melasma is caused by anxiety, fear of the future and not being able to handle problems as they come along. So you're in constant worry mode, your mind going in circles trying to prevent a bad event. Thus releases cortisol hormone which causes melasma. This is my current theory. I'm working on being ok learning from experience and making mistakes and knowing i can handle the problem as it comes along. Also bring ok knowing I'm not perfect and can make mistakes. Please reply if you're a worrier or have a lot of anxiety. Maybe we can see a pattern here. All disease is basically your body telling you there are negative emotions and thoughts that you're ignoring.
Omg I'm also a big worrier and have the same issue I never knew it had to do with stress! I find it so hard to face problems and worry all the time, I need to learn to relax and just let go! I think your on to something, I will try to relax more and stress less, thank you for your post it really opened my eyes!
I have been suffering from anxiety from the past 20 years. No matter how hard I try I am unable to relax my mind. Negative thoughts constantly haunt me. I have horrible melasma around my lips :(
Thank you for the info, I learned a lot!!! all this rude comments are from bitter, jealous people, if they don’t like what they see, move on to the next video nobody is forcing you to watch it. There is absolutely no need to leave rude comments!!
Okay girl. I literally just found your channel 3 days ago and have been following you for a min on IG. Just know I’m over here as a UA-cam and business owner with a full time content creator. I just adore all the things and appreciate it! This was a full of awesome info! Connect more soon

Exactly! She touched on a lot of topics, so how could she be short? She also put the links to everything she talked about . If they’re not interested, no one is forcing them to watch/:
Wow, the comments are so damn offensive...she is sharing her path to healing and how she has sustained her healing AND what EXACTLY she has used. It's not as if she is lasering her skin everyday...thank you so much for your honesty in sharing your story.
I appreciate the information. I think its very valuable to get a few hints of what works for different people. Thanks a bunch!! Stumbled upon you looking for Things to do in Maui as we are visiting in July! I appreciate you! Much love
Thank you for the video... Ps ... So many rude women over here ... If you dislike her history, just ignore ... no need to complain about it .. Take what you may think is good, do your own research and be grateful for this video sharing how she treated her melasma, because I can tell as Aesthetician... it's not something easy to treat. Namastê🙏
Thank you, this video is so informative and I will try some of these. I suddenly started getting Mel Asma when I reached menopause and it’s driving me crazy!! You are SO beautiful 👍🏼
Great information and thanks for the links! I’m checking those out next. You touched on a few problems I’ve been dealing with. The vitamin C serum really works for dark spots. It nearly erased an unsightly rough spot on my temple area that I had for years and I was embarrassed about. You were right on target with everything 👍
I am so happy I ran into your page. I am mexican and I know we are prone to dark spots. I used to think it was because of sun exposure. But I've been living in Norway for 3 years now and I am getting new spots by the day! We barely have any sun here! You being half mexican, helps me to relate. Bit the most I am grateful to you is when you explained about the heat within ourselves. Because that makes a lot of sense now! I am easily agitated and of course I eat spicy and I have been drinking a lot of coffee since I moved here .. anyway, you have shed a lot of light to my situation and how it is reflecting on my skin. Lots of love!! Thanks!
Something that has been helping me is that before I shower I massage my face either with avocado oil or almond oil(the oi is not important, chose what's best for your skin) for 10 minutes and then, right after I shower I immediately let very cold water refresh my skin. I also use pure aloe vera, it is completely natural since I take it directly from the leaf and place it in a tight glass jar and use it daily. My melasma is still there, but it is much lighter than before, I can actually hide it under makeup.
All your tips are great. I hear you talking and hear myself. I've tried anything and everything. Just started using Musely and can say that after 40 days I'm seeing amazing results. So happy :)
Just called dermatologist he said NO IPL OR BBL laser for melasma it makes it worse!! I wrote Idealimage I can provide a copy where she says IPL makes it worse! It happened to me!
For everyone who commented that the laser treatment is what cured her melasma...I had that same laser treatment done 10 times...yes TEN (Over the course of two years) and it made my melasma WORSE. Diet and supplements to regulate my hormones is what actually worked. It took me years to treat Melasma. Her treatments here are sound and some combo will work for you too.
Michelle Bennett I didn’t take supplements. I just started eating cleaner in general. Melisma is hormonal and then made worse by sun and heat. First thing to do is stay out of the sun, and if you do have to go out wear a very high SPF like 50. If your face gets too hot it will worsen also. When working out I keep a cool cloth to dampen my face. If you are on birth control with hormones it will worsen the melisma as well. In my opinion, figuring out how to balance your hormones is the only way to truly combat melisma. I do think facials such as microdermabrasion would also help to get rid of some of it, however, that is an expensive route. Microplaning can def help as well as she mentioned.

Thanks for this video!!!! 🤗😍 I developed melasma a year ago on my chin. It's embarrassing and I couldn't leave my house without people staring at my chin in a negative way.
Just so you know people; laser can make your melasma worse. She's saying all the things that worked for her. Laser is amazing for some, it made my skin much worse, melasma all over rather than a couple of quarter size patches. I'm watching to see what I can do to try to improve the damage done by the lasers. Thank you to the poster for the video and the links 🙏
My derm suggested picosure laser for my melasma and made it much worst, I only had a small light spot on one side of my face, now there are much darker spots all over both sides of my face. I am so mad I paid so much money n made my skin much worst. Be careful some dr just want your money.
People love to talk shit. Learn to listen! She gives alot of valuable info. I learned alot and thanks for making a video even though you didn't have to.
been using a vit c serum for years but my dark spots are still there..Ive tried many diff products I've read on blogs which have great reviews but I think you can't really get rid of the dark/age spots coz it's embedded already deeply in the skin.what I do now is just to cover it up with my fave HD foundation Inglot..looks natural and lightweight
I put Tea Tree oil on it and it's almost gone in a week...I heard it takes 3 weeks. I sometimes use a coconut oil as a carrier oil with it and sometimes not. Some say malasma is a fungus. So antifungals like Applce cider vinegar, sea salt or diluted bleach as well. Some acne is from fungus as well. Diet, sugar, yeast, sweating & the sun can make the fungus grow. But there are many solutions so keep faith 💖
Trying the biosil now! Bought the zinc at Target. Also using CeraVe vitamin C serum...I’m trying EVERYTHING I am so tired of my Melasma! Hopefully it goes away. Also something someone else told me about was Ashwagandha. Using some lemon juice/turmeric masks...I can’t afford to get laser so I am doing everything I can with home remedies.
I bought a far infra red light bulb from ruby lux. Its like a heat lamp bulb. I did not buy the LED light bulb, I bought the heat producing far infra red bulb. I bought a Pixar lamp with a flexible am for 10.00 at the local thrift store (make sure the inside of the lamp that you screw the bulb into is ceramic or metal because the bulb is hot and it will melt a plastic one) . The bulb is really hot and it can burn you if you touch your skin on it but I hold it away from my skin enough to where I can tolerate it comfortably and it zeros in directly on my melisma. It’s wild, I usually do about 15 mnts a day and when I am finished I get huge red blotches right on my melasma. I am so freaking happy with the results. It was a total accident!!!! I used to wear so much make up to try to cover it up and it only made it look worse. I think it faded about 70% I live in Florida and the sun just beat on my face and it was really hard to correct it. I wonder if I can try to send a picture on this?? I will try.
If you're looking for fantastic facial sunscreens which don't clog pores and have fabulous sun protection, I'd highly recommend Japanese or Korean sunscreens! I've used the Biore aqua rich watery essence sunscreen and the Shiseido senka one for years, and attribute much of my melasma resolving to these, along with an alpha arbutin serum, which inhibits further melanin production!
It was the treatment mainly. Roship oil is known for lightening skin also if anyone is deciding what oil to pick. Vit C great. The ordinary is cheap but amazing no where near the high prices in thus video. Abrasion can make malasma worse in the long run espeshially if you have olive skin so be careful. My dermatologist told me not to be abrasive on the skin. Contreceptive medication plays a big part in the cause Is known. Cutting it out if you can helps. Be careful if do this obviously! I look forward to trying the Zinc though
Any light whether direct or not can cause melasma in those prone. Even bright lights. I hate melasma. I've never heard of dark spots being caused by getting hot. 🤷♀️
Thanks for the help everybody! I got the same issues as alot of you guys! I got thyroid issues and I suffer with anxiety, depression and worry worry worry about everybody and everything! Hope I can get rid of malasma. Would love you to show shaving your face. I do it rarely as I make my skin bleed. Thanks for this great video ❤😊
Im a homeowner and must go outside to do yard work once a week so yeah that intern heat can’t ruin everything no matter how much you protect yourself. The Ordinary Ascorbic acid powder with ferulic acid has help a lot!!!
Something I've noticed from all of the videos I've watched thus far. People with naturally darker/olive complexions like myself are more susceptible to melasma. Its in the DNA. Unfortunately there's just not a whole lot we can do to avoid it. Even avoiding the sun doesn't help. Lasering will just worsen it and we scar darker on top of the hyperpigmentation. Its just frustrating. I've been rocking my melastache (among other areas) for a good while now. A good CC cream and full coverage foundation has helped, other than that, its a part of me now.
laura tabor Try the vitamin C serum she mentioned. It really works and is not expensive . You can find numerous ones on amazon. I’ve bought several , but the one I currently have is Tree of Life Vitamin C serum.
I have olive skin/ green undertones. And I suddenly developed melasma in my 30s. I've never had any hormonal issues, don't spend time in the sun. I have two long patches under my eyes. I've also had a ring of hyperpigmentation around my mouth since forever. But on top of that, I've also developed vitiligo on my cheeks and so the melasma is even more pronounced. I've managed to find a foundation that covers and balances all my pigmentation issues. But it's really knocked my confidence. Kids in school used to tease me about the hyperpigmentation around my mouth (used to ask me if I washed my face). And now as an adult it's even worse. But I have a patch of white/ vitiligo on then dark area around my mouth. I am just hoping the vitiligo will take all the hyperpigmentation away, and it all even out. My skin looks a mess. I went to a dermatologist about the 'brown patches' and she explained about hyper-pigmentaiton, and also noted that I had lost pigmentation on my cheeks and around my eyes, which was making the hyper-pigmentaiton look worse. I am trying vitamin C treatments. I also try and do a turmeric mask as often as I can, on the dark areas of my skin.
😁YES I agree W/u! I really liked what u said "Mella-Stache" & Im definitely going 2SAY THAT & ROCK My Mella-Stache 2!😜 It HELPS 2know what's causing it! I have Hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed W/PTSD @8Yrs old. As I got older & the TRAUMAS Continued & I developed Complex PTSD.😰 My Body produces 2much Cortisol "the Stress Hormone!" Im stuck in Fight/Flight/Freeze a Trauma response. Yrs of Therapy & Hard Work has made my life more Manageable & Liveable!☺ My MELASMA & HYPERPIGMENTATION is definitely worse cause of Stress! U guys PLEASE ask 4Help if u're Struggling W/Mental Health, Melasma or Hyperpigmentation!😔 Hyperpigmentation occurs due 2overproduction of Melanin & Estrogen & Progesterone & other HORMONE imbalances😣 in the body! Seek shade. Since Sun Exposure & some medications can trigger our skin 2develop more Pigment/Melanin its a good idea 2wear a 50 SUV Sunblock while in the sun! SEEK HELP from a Dermatologist! Use gentle skin care products. Try @Home Masks/Methods or Supplements. Eat Well, Rest, & try 2Avoid Stress BE PATIENT/HOPEFUL & remember u are NOT ALONE!🤗
What SHE does sure works give it a try. I am and old age "liver spots" that fair older people get on their hands can reverse with what you eat.Dr Grundy says so plant paradox diet and book
I would also suggest derma needling. I use a .25 and it has also helped with my dark spots and melasima. And makes your products go way deeper than derma blading. I personally do both along with gua Sha
SPF 20 isn’t a sunscreen. You need a broad spectrum sunscreen. Most dermatologists recommend 2 different brands. You can get melasma through a window so you need to put on sunscreen whether you go outside or not.
So I have melasma and every morning after my skincare routine I use sunscreen 50 ....I noticed that I have less melasma...and I know I must live with 🙄 I don't have money for laser 🥳🥳
This makes a lot of sense to my face spots. When my body temp rises those spots appeared so much more. I was into energy drink and diet pills that always made me super hot and I notice my face looked worse. This makes so much sense. Since I stopped everything, I notice my face clearing up. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ask me🤦🏽♀️ trying to remove my dark spots on face just made it worse than what it was. I got burned from it and at the end was the worst thing I ever did.. I regret doing this so much now trying the Musely hopefully this works for me🙏
Very true...I have dark skin and laser made my hyperpigmentation worse. I'm currently on day 4 of a VI chemical peel in order to reverse hyperpigmentation. I hope it works.
I'm just wearing hats some and sunscreen that feels good some. Stopped all my "brightening" products bc it was making more of a contrast between my lighter and darker pigmentation. I wear foundation when I want more of an "even" look. I'm 49 now and seems my pigment does what it wants but I don't have as much need of concern. Been married 26 years and I dont need to impress anyone anymore. But I do take conservative measures to keep from baking in the sun on the daily.
Ouch. Not really sure why there are so many negative comments on this video. I thought the information was extremely helpful, especially the internal supplement recommendations coming from a nutritionist. I have been a medical esthetician for 15 years, and will absolutely pass on the knowledge to the patients and clients that I work with daily. And - I just ordered the Zinc and the BioSil and can't wait to see the type of results I can get from the combination.
This is a brief but useful guide. I would suggest this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to my friends starting out on their journeys to clear skin, removing acne. Very much enjoyed reading this and appreciated the awareness into how my inside troubles can affect my skin.
Be careful with laser (IPL). I visited with a top notch cosmetic dermatologist and paid heftily ($$$) for this procedure after YEARS of research and consideration. The results were great at first after initial healing, but melasma came back worse after a few months. I later visited with another doctor and was told laser and/or any heat/light treatments are the worst possible type of treatment for persons experiencing this condition. The logic goes: why would you treat with the same thing that is aggravating the condition (in this case light/pulsed rays)? Something to think about. Best to you!
@@sandral.romero6125 I wish I'd have known that. I'm watching this right now because my laser treatment made my melasma spread from a couple of quarter size patches to all over my face. Have you found anything to improve the damage done by the laser?
Thanks for the collagen "anxiety" statement. I too noticed a strange feeling of anxiety since I started taking a month ago. My malasma is on my forehead. I'm real careful but any heat even electric blanket use triggers. Any way quite frustrating.
Great video. I have been struggling with melasma for over 5 years. I will try this. I love to drink hot water. I'm wondering if I'm adding too much heat to my body. I wear a hat, I take supplements, but my dark spots are not moving.
I always had clear skin until my last pregnancy and then I started getting melasma really bad, which I think there’s a turn for it. Ever since then I now have to do a far amount of preventing/treating for this issue. The one thing I can tell you that has help the most is Clinique Fresh Pressed™ Daily Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10% and the price is really reasonable. You are a very beautiful young lady and I hope you continue to do well🤗
I just saw a TV program where a women was getting the shaving procedure. The charge was 75 dollars. Just wondering if you ever made the video on shaving. I really would like to see it.😊
I have melasma over 3yrs now. I tried soo many different things including professional wrong treatments, home treatments, and everything you else you could think of and still not completely went away. I stopped doing hot yoga, steam room, being outside without hat, sun cream. But around 4 months now, I have been using Drunken elephant 12% peel serum and noticed lighten up my dark spot, and of course that’s not the only thing that makes my dark spot lighter but that’s the main product. I’m so happy and grateful 😄 . Your skin look great. Thanks for sharing.
Hey... Just read your comment on this video... Now that its been 2 yrs since u had written this, hiw is your melasma now? Are u still using the same serum or are there some changes in routine, pls share, as i am really looking for a proper regime . Thank you much 🥰
@@drnehayadav7394 my melasma has been lots better and I’m happier but keep in mind it will never go away completely which I’m understand that. I don’t use drunken elephant anymore but I’m using shisedo serum and moisturizer days and nights and adding vit c from Rodial drops for during the day which I love this vit c sooo much. The only down side is $95. Good luck and I learned not to used lot of acids on my face because it can start up again my dark spots.
I remember getting M in Barli I got rid of it. Years later I got it again but ins different spots near my eyes. And it seems to be stuck this time around 😩. I'm also vegan. But I notice I got it after taking antibiotics and painkillers after removing my wisdom tooth. It's been months! I have been able to reduce it. But it's still here.
It comes back because the under lying cause is, inflammation. The inflammation causes the hormonal imbalance, and the or the sun triggers to cause patches, and every body has a different trigger to their inflammation - alcohol - caffeine - processed foods - not enough water - aging and the environments we choose to live in cause us to heal differently over time, so it is ever changing our diet, and needs to keep inflammation at bay.
You should consider taking liposomal glutathione. It deactivates the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps produce melanin. Tastes and smells horrible!, so finding it in pill form may be helpful. Amazing supplement with many benefits besides just skin care. Great for detoxing and fatty liver for example.
If u visit tropical place with lot of sun, heat, and high humidity as bali, find products with zinc oxide and Calamine, it helps to sooth/cool the skin and reduce chance of the break out, rashes and other heat/sun damages. Of course dont forget the spf on the top of it. Hello from indonesia ❤
I would like you to make another video after 6 months or 1 year to make sure that you are really free from melasma. Because after treatment it generally appears again.
The zinc and I didn’t even realise it helps the skin. I only took this because of this corona virus crises, it worked on my skin 😮 and thank you for this video it’s helpful. I’ll check the stone jade, heard this 7 years from our Chinese kung fu teacher at school.
WOW .... in the introduction vdo, I realized the beautiful scene from Myanmar. You visited the nice places in Myanmar/Burma. Anyway, good advise for melsma .
Hi rebelle im from malaysia.. thanks for sharing your info.. actually i want to ask is it the Zinc picolonate suitable for men facial skin that have melasma pigment??
Yep. Agreed. I've been to estheticians and they have all told me laser treatments or chemical peels are my options. And even after all that it can still come back. I just haven't had the money to drop on it to try it.
100% I had to fast forward and at 5mins I couldn’t take it anymore and just read the description. Laser was the option I was given along with hydroquinone
Just eliminate dairy and meat and replace it with boca patties/burgers and Daiya cheese. They also have vegan deli meats and hotdogs/sausages. There are other types of cheese as well (sliced, cubed, etc.). You can eat a tofu scramble which looks exactly like scrambled eggs. Add black salt which tastes like eggs. You can eat ice cream made from coconut/cashew/soy/almond milk. One particular brand is SO Delicious. Like your dips? Make it from mashed beans and add your choice of seasonings. Try adding avocado to the mixture. How about a banana and almond milkshake? Yumm. Want hot chocolate? Instead of reaching for chocolate that contains dairy... there is Hershey's Natural Unsweetened Cocao Powder. Mix with a hot cup of non dairy milk of your choice and don't forget to add a few teaspoons of raw cane sugar. There are so many choices to choose from and it is guaranteed to taste delicious.
Whole Food Plant Based Diet: Nutritionfacts.org , Dr. Esselstyn,'s The China Study, (book) and on Facebook, Forks Over Knives documentary. There's so much out there now, have fun researching and Netflix watching. It makes a big difference because it helps with balancing your hormones, which is what creates melasma. The sun makes it worse, but our hormones dictate what our body/skin does.

My dermatologist once said that for some reason people with white skin and dark hair tend to have melasma easily
It’s hormonal production that causes melasma - if you take birth control pills stop doing it - it will cause more melasma
New subbie! Hi! And yes, please! Do the tutorial!😬 very informative! Thank you!

She should have started with saying she had laser because that obviously is the big game changer.
amen
Just called dermatologist he said NO IPL OR BBL laser for melasma it makes it worse!! I wrote Idealimage I can provide a copy where she says IPL makes it worse! It happened to me!
@@marikatarver60 I meant that Rebell should have started the video by mentioning that she used laser.
Exactly! Stopped watching the video and headed for the comments. I’m sure the video had a lot of traffic 🙄
Marika Tarver Hi there, thank you for posting that! Do you know which laser is “suitable”, when you have dark spots/ melisma?
For everyone who commented that the laser treatment is what cured her melasma...I had that same laser treatment done 10 times...yes TEN (Over the course of two years) and it made my melasma WORSE. Diet and supplements to regulate my hormones is what actually worked. It took me years to treat Melasma. Her treatments here are sound and some combo will work for you too.

You just said "diet and suppliments" and then say you didn't take suppliments....lol which is it??
@L. B
With laser and peels even they tell you "oh more is just breaking up and coming to the surface." To make you think it will clear and spend more $ but it's actually making it worse.....
Have you cured plz help me i should not go for laser...?
Thank u so much I m suffering from melasma from last 4 years I will try and tell u about the results on my skin
Thanks for this video!!!! 🤗😍 I developed melasma a year ago on my chin. It's embarrassing and I couldn't leave my house without people staring at my chin in a negative way.

My derm suggested picosure laser for my melasma and made it much worst, I only had a small light spot on one side of my face, now there are much darker spots all over both sides of my face. I am so mad I paid so much money n made my skin much worst. Be careful some dr just want your money.
People love to talk shit. Learn to listen! She gives alot of valuable info. I learned alot and thanks for making a video even though you didn't have to.
Loved this video, you’re gorgeous! Thanks for the info. Disregard the haters! They are just jelly.
Gwen086 IKR SOO TRUE
been using a vit c serum for years but my dark spots are still there..Ive tried many diff products I've read on blogs which have great reviews but I think you can't really get rid of the dark/age spots coz it's embedded already deeply in the skin.what I do now is just to cover it up with my fave HD foundation Inglot..looks natural and lightweight
I put Tea Tree oil on it and it's almost gone in a week...I heard it takes 3 weeks. I sometimes use a coconut oil as a carrier oil with it and sometimes not. Some say malasma is a fungus. So antifungals like Applce cider vinegar, sea salt or diluted bleach as well. Some acne is from fungus as well. Diet, sugar, yeast, sweating & the sun can make the fungus grow. But there are many solutions so keep faith 💖
Why would you put bleach on your face, diluted or not??
Wow....I can’t believe you got that melisma so quickly! Thanks for the video. Much Love
Too much blah blah

It happens..I got in my cheek in just one night...I applied selenium sulphide...and next day whole big patch...my bad luck
Trying the biosil now! Bought the zinc at Target. Also using CeraVe vitamin C serum...I’m trying EVERYTHING I am so tired of my Melasma! Hopefully it goes away. Also something someone else told me about was Ashwagandha. Using some lemon juice/turmeric masks...I can’t afford to get laser so I am doing everything I can with home remedies.
Hv u seen the result as u required, means ur melasma is gone now after trying above things.
I bought a far infra red light bulb from ruby lux. Its like a heat lamp bulb. I did not buy the LED light bulb, I bought the heat producing far infra red bulb. I bought a Pixar lamp with a flexible am for 10.00 at the local thrift store (make sure the inside of the lamp that you screw the bulb into is ceramic or metal because the bulb is hot and it will melt a plastic one) . The bulb is really hot and it can burn you if you touch your skin on it but I hold it away from my skin enough to where I can tolerate it comfortably and it zeros in directly on my melisma. It’s wild, I usually do about 15 mnts a day and when I am finished I get huge red blotches right on my melasma. I am so freaking happy with the results. It was a total accident!!!! I used to wear so much make up to try to cover it up and it only made it look worse. I think it faded about 70% I live in Florida and the sun just beat on my face and it was really hard to correct it. I wonder if I can try to send a picture on this?? I will try.
Zinc picolinate was the best thing to help clear up my melisma! I think it helped me more than my clear & brilliant treatments!!! Thank you.
Hi...is that a supplement or facial product? Thanks
@@jennymeade8786 supplement.
I will try that supplement, hope it helps with my melasma
@@sherlyabrugar4573 did it work?

If you're looking for fantastic facial sunscreens which don't clog pores and have fabulous sun protection, I'd highly recommend Japanese or Korean sunscreens! I've used the Biore aqua rich watery essence sunscreen and the Shiseido senka one for years, and attribute much of my melasma resolving to these, along with an alpha arbutin serum, which inhibits further melanin production!
Great video! Pretty eyebrows 😊
This video was very helpful.
It was the treatment mainly. Roship oil is known for lightening skin also if anyone is deciding what oil to pick. Vit C great. The ordinary is cheap but amazing no where near the high prices in thus video. Abrasion can make malasma worse in the long run espeshially if you have olive skin so be careful. My dermatologist told me not to be abrasive on the skin. Contreceptive medication plays a big part in the cause Is known. Cutting it out if you can helps. Be careful if do this obviously! I look forward to trying the Zinc though
So helpful! Thank you!
Nicely done!! 🙂
Any light whether direct or not can cause melasma in those prone. Even bright lights. I hate melasma. I've never heard of dark spots being caused by getting hot. 🤷♀️
Thanks for the help everybody! I got the same issues as alot of you guys! I got thyroid issues and I suffer with anxiety, depression and worry worry worry about everybody and everything! Hope I can get rid of malasma. Would love you to show shaving your face. I do it rarely as I make my skin bleed. Thanks for this great video ❤😊
Melasma is the wicked step mother in the background saying I'm here and I'm not going away. She will be back
Im a homeowner and must go outside to do yard work once a week so yeah that intern heat can’t ruin everything no matter how much you protect yourself. The Ordinary Ascorbic acid powder with ferulic acid has help a lot!!!
Something I've noticed from all of the videos I've watched thus far. People with naturally darker/olive complexions like myself are more susceptible to melasma. Its in the DNA. Unfortunately there's just not a whole lot we can do to avoid it. Even avoiding the sun doesn't help. Lasering will just worsen it and we scar darker on top of the hyperpigmentation. Its just frustrating. I've been rocking my melastache (among other areas) for a good while now. A good CC cream and full coverage foundation has helped, other than that, its a part of me now.
laura tabor Try the vitamin C serum she mentioned. It really works and is not expensive . You can find numerous ones on amazon. I’ve bought several , but the one I currently have is Tree of Life Vitamin C serum.
I have olive skin/ green undertones. And I suddenly developed melasma in my 30s. I've never had any hormonal issues, don't spend time in the sun. I have two long patches under my eyes. I've also had a ring of hyperpigmentation around my mouth since forever.
But on top of that, I've also developed vitiligo on my cheeks and so the melasma is even more pronounced.
I've managed to find a foundation that covers and balances all my pigmentation issues.
But it's really knocked my confidence. Kids in school used to tease me about the hyperpigmentation around my mouth (used to ask me if I washed my face). And now as an adult it's even worse.
But I have a patch of white/ vitiligo on then dark area around my mouth. I am just hoping the vitiligo will take all the hyperpigmentation away, and it all even out. My skin looks a mess.
I went to a dermatologist about the 'brown patches' and she explained about hyper-pigmentaiton, and also noted that I had lost pigmentation on my cheeks and around my eyes, which was making the hyper-pigmentaiton look worse.
I am trying vitamin C treatments. I also try and do a turmeric mask as often as I can, on the dark areas of my skin.
😁YES I agree W/u! I really liked what u said "Mella-Stache" & Im definitely going 2SAY THAT & ROCK My Mella-Stache 2!😜 It HELPS 2know what's causing it! I have Hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed W/PTSD @8Yrs old. As I got older & the TRAUMAS Continued & I developed Complex PTSD.😰 My Body produces 2much Cortisol "the Stress Hormone!" Im stuck in Fight/Flight/Freeze a Trauma response. Yrs of Therapy & Hard Work has made my life more Manageable & Liveable!☺ My MELASMA & HYPERPIGMENTATION is definitely worse cause of Stress! U guys PLEASE ask 4Help if u're Struggling W/Mental Health, Melasma or Hyperpigmentation!😔 Hyperpigmentation occurs due 2overproduction of Melanin & Estrogen & Progesterone & other HORMONE imbalances😣 in the body!
Seek shade. Since Sun Exposure & some medications can trigger our skin 2develop more Pigment/Melanin its a good idea 2wear a 50 SUV Sunblock while in the sun!
SEEK HELP from a Dermatologist!
Use gentle skin care products.
Try @Home Masks/Methods or Supplements.
Eat Well, Rest, & try 2Avoid Stress
BE PATIENT/HOPEFUL & remember u are NOT ALONE!🤗
melastache 🤣 I felt that one for sure.
What SHE does sure works give it a try. I am and old age "liver spots" that fair older people get on their hands can reverse with what you eat.Dr Grundy says so plant paradox diet and book
Need the vitamin C serum!!
Great upload with lots of gold nuggets! Tamsak! God bless!
Thank you! You too!
Uh, I found this super helpful.......... thank you so much... you're beautiful
I would also suggest derma needling. I use a .25 and it has also helped with my dark spots and melasima. And makes your products go way deeper than derma blading. I personally do both along with gua Sha
SPF 20 isn’t a sunscreen. You need a broad spectrum sunscreen. Most dermatologists recommend 2 different brands. You can get melasma through a window so you need to put on sunscreen whether you go outside or not.
So I have melasma and every morning after my skincare routine I use sunscreen 50 ....I noticed that I have less melasma...and I know I must live with 🙄 I don't have money for laser 🥳🥳
This makes a lot of sense to my face spots. When my body temp rises those spots appeared so much more. I was into energy drink and diet pills that always made me super hot and I notice my face looked worse. This makes so much sense. Since I stopped everything, I notice my face clearing up. Thank you so much for sharing.
That's why my ayurvedic doc said. U need to low ur body tem ,thts the solution of most of the problems melasma as well
Laser treatment can cause more hyperpigmentation for those with olive skin to darker from what I have read online.
Ask me🤦🏽♀️ trying to remove my dark spots on face just made it worse than what it was. I got burned from it and at the end was the worst thing I ever did.. I regret doing this so much now trying the Musely hopefully this works for me🙏
Very true...I have dark skin and laser made my hyperpigmentation worse. I'm currently on day 4 of a VI chemical peel in order to reverse hyperpigmentation. I hope it works.
Nicole, let us know how that works.💓
I'm just wearing hats some and sunscreen that feels good some. Stopped all my "brightening" products bc it was making more of a contrast between my lighter and darker pigmentation. I wear foundation when I want more of an "even" look. I'm 49 now and seems my pigment does what it wants but I don't have as much need of concern. Been married 26 years and I dont need to impress anyone anymore. But I do take conservative measures to keep from baking in the sun on the daily.
@@recoverykonie407 I'll let you know in a few days
Great video. Please do the tutorial with tickle razor. Thanks for sharing.
Ouch. Not really sure why there are so many negative comments on this video. I thought the information was extremely helpful, especially the internal supplement recommendations coming from a nutritionist. I have been a medical esthetician for 15 years, and will absolutely pass on the knowledge to the patients and clients that I work with daily. And - I just ordered the Zinc and the BioSil and can't wait to see the type of results I can get from the combination.
This is a brief but useful guide. I would suggest this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to my friends starting out on their journeys to clear skin, removing acne. Very much enjoyed reading this and appreciated the awareness into how my inside troubles can affect my skin.
Great video 👍🏻
You are a blessing thank you 🙏
Would you say it was the laser treatment that helped the most in this process?
So basically it was the laser treatment that removed the dark spots. The other stuff it's just for preventing.
Be careful with laser (IPL). I visited with a top notch cosmetic dermatologist and paid heftily ($$$) for this procedure after YEARS of research and consideration. The results were great at first after initial healing, but melasma came back worse after a few months. I later visited with another doctor and was told laser and/or any heat/light treatments are the worst possible type of treatment for persons experiencing this condition. The logic goes: why would you treat with the same thing that is aggravating the condition (in this case light/pulsed rays)? Something to think about. Best to you!
@@sandral.romero6125 I wish I'd have known that. I'm watching this right now because my laser treatment made my melasma spread from a couple of quarter size patches to all over my face. Have you found anything to improve the damage done by the laser?
I don't think that's what she said at all but okay
Thanks for the collagen "anxiety" statement. I too noticed a strange feeling of anxiety since I started taking a month ago. My malasma is on my forehead. I'm real careful but any heat even electric blanket use triggers. Any way quite frustrating.
Great video. I have been struggling with melasma for over 5 years. I will try this. I love to drink hot water. I'm wondering if I'm adding too much heat to my body. I wear a hat, I take supplements, but my dark spots are not moving.
I always had clear skin until my last pregnancy and then I started getting melasma really bad, which I think there’s a turn for it. Ever since then I now have to do a far amount of preventing/treating for this issue. The one thing I can tell you that has help the most is Clinique Fresh Pressed™ Daily Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10% and the price is really reasonable.
You are a very beautiful young lady and I hope you continue to do well🤗
dear Rebell , ur video has been sooo informative. thank u so much
I just saw a TV program where a women was getting the shaving procedure. The charge was 75 dollars. Just wondering if you ever made the video on shaving. I really would like to see it.😊
Omg I just started getting these blotches.... I have a question. How do you maintain some sort of a tan when you have Melasma???
More in-depth on internal heat? I recently started HIIT and I wonder if sweating exacerbates melasma? Thanks for sharing.
I really would like to get rid of my melasma. Thanks for your tips. I love spicy foods though.
Where i from get to buy this item. ??
Can you share with me please?
I am in Germany
I have melasma over 3yrs now. I tried soo many different things including professional wrong treatments, home treatments, and everything you else you could think of and still not completely went away. I stopped doing hot yoga, steam room, being outside without hat, sun cream. But around 4 months now, I have been using Drunken elephant 12% peel serum and noticed lighten up my dark spot, and of course that’s not the only thing that makes my dark spot lighter but that’s the main product. I’m so happy and grateful 😄 . Your skin look great. Thanks for sharing.
Hey... Just read your comment on this video... Now that its been 2 yrs since u had written this, hiw is your melasma now? Are u still using the same serum or are there some changes in routine, pls share, as i am really looking for a proper regime . Thank you much 🥰
@@drnehayadav7394 my melasma has been lots better and I’m happier but keep in mind it will never go away completely which I’m understand that. I don’t use drunken elephant anymore but I’m using shisedo serum and moisturizer days and nights and adding vit c from Rodial drops for during the day which I love this vit c sooo much. The only down side is $95. Good luck and I learned not to used lot of acids on my face because it can start up again my dark spots.
You are right zinc helped me in pigmentation prop alot
Plz do dermoplaning video. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for this helpful info. Did you see the most significant difference after the laser treatment, or do you feel it was a combined effort...
I had spent 2000 dollars with the laser for my Melasma,but my face is still dark,now am going to use hat 👒 too,thank you for your advice.
Wow love watchng skincare videos and try my best to learn about skin.. im 30 and want look after my skin more better!
I remember getting M in Barli I got rid of it. Years later I got it again but ins different spots near my eyes. And it seems to be stuck this time around 😩. I'm also vegan. But I notice I got it after taking antibiotics and painkillers after removing my wisdom tooth. It's been months! I have been able to reduce it. But it's still here.
It comes back because the under lying cause is, inflammation. The inflammation causes the hormonal imbalance, and the or the sun triggers to cause patches, and every body has a different trigger to their inflammation - alcohol - caffeine - processed foods - not enough water - aging and the environments we choose to live in cause us to heal differently over time, so it is ever changing our diet, and needs to keep inflammation at bay.
You should consider taking liposomal glutathione. It deactivates the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps produce melanin. Tastes and smells horrible!, so finding it in pill form may be helpful. Amazing supplement with many benefits besides just skin care. Great for detoxing and fatty liver for example.
Thank you
Wow! Thank you!! 🙏🏼❤️
I have a fatty liver so I'm try this. What brand do you use an are using it internal or external?...thank you
Do you recommend a brand?
Really Love this video!!! ignore the negative comments. I found this very helpful thankyou
If u visit tropical place with lot of sun, heat, and high humidity as bali, find products with zinc oxide and Calamine, it helps to sooth/cool the skin and reduce chance of the break out, rashes and other heat/sun damages. Of course dont forget the spf on the top of it.
Hello from indonesia ❤
I tried so hard to copy 3 pictures before and after but I can’t figure out how to send them.
Hi, I wanna ask about Biosil..Does it makes your unwanted hair grow as well?
I would like you to make another video after 6 months or 1 year to make sure that you are really free from melasma. Because after treatment it generally appears again.
Agree
The zinc and I didn’t even realise it helps the skin. I only took this because of this corona virus crises, it worked on my skin 😮 and thank you for this video it’s helpful. I’ll check the stone jade, heard this 7 years from our Chinese kung fu teacher at school.
I had three laser treatments and it didn’t help :( many waisted:(
Alesan81 right same here did the pico sure very expensive, and it didn’t work for me
I’ve always thought you shouldn’t wear vitamin C serum during the day, only at nightime 🧐 interesting!
Thanks i found this video im also looking for something how to prevent melasma
WOW .... in the introduction vdo, I realized the beautiful scene from Myanmar. You visited the nice places in Myanmar/Burma. Anyway, good advise for melsma .
Hi rebelle im from malaysia.. thanks for sharing your info.. actually i want to ask is it the Zinc picolonate suitable for men facial skin that have melasma pigment??
Super helpful. Ty!!!
I wish you would have mentioned the BBL laser at the beginning. That is what made your face look like it does and removed the spots.
Exactly
Yep. Agreed. I've been to estheticians and they have all told me laser treatments or chemical peels are my options. And even after all that it can still come back. I just haven't had the money to drop on it to try it.
Jessica Hahn. How much is it per session?
100% I had to fast forward and at 5mins I couldn’t take it anymore and just read the description. Laser was the option I was given along with hydroquinone
yes 😂
Really good information. The zinc p and biosil are great!
I always wanted to be a vegan. Don't know where to start. I was a pescetarian. Now I am on keto. But I do love the vegan lifestyle. Any guidance?
Just eliminate dairy and meat and replace it with boca patties/burgers and Daiya cheese. They also have vegan deli meats and hotdogs/sausages. There are other types of cheese as well (sliced, cubed, etc.). You can eat a tofu scramble which looks exactly like scrambled eggs. Add black salt which tastes like eggs. You can eat ice cream made from coconut/cashew/soy/almond milk. One particular brand is SO Delicious. Like your dips? Make it from mashed beans and add your choice of seasonings. Try adding avocado to the mixture. How about a banana and almond milkshake? Yumm. Want hot chocolate? Instead of reaching for chocolate that contains dairy... there is Hershey's Natural Unsweetened Cocao Powder. Mix with a hot cup of non dairy milk of your choice and don't forget to add a few teaspoons of raw cane sugar. There are so many choices to choose from and it is guaranteed to taste delicious.
Thank you
Whole Food Plant Based Diet: Nutritionfacts.org , Dr. Esselstyn,'s The China Study, (book) and on Facebook, Forks Over Knives documentary. There's so much out there now, have fun researching and Netflix watching. It makes a big difference because it helps with balancing your hormones, which is what creates melasma. The sun makes it worse, but our hormones dictate what our body/skin does.
Can you tell me the dosage info for Bio sil, and the other supplement you mentioned...thanks.
Can you do a hair careroutine?face and make up routine?please
