Melasma is a common problem that mostly affects women. There are various causes for the appearance of melasma such as pregnancy, exposure to sun and genetics. Usage of oral contraceptives can also cause skin discoloration. Asians and Hispanics are mostly affected by melasma, which can be prevented. Prolonged exposure to sun stimulates melanocytes or pigment producing cells which further encourages the production of Melanin in our body.

In order to get rid of Melasma, we should wear a good sunscreen lotion. Your skin should be completely protected from the harmful UV rays. A good sun block not only prevents sunlight but also nourishes and hydrates your covering. Hydroquinone is considered to be an effective ingredient for curing melasma but due to its cancer causing properties, FDA bans its usage.

There are various alternatives to Hydroquinone such as lemon juice extract, niacinamide (Vitamin B3), mulberry extract, licorice extract, emblica powder, kojic acid etc. Bleaching not only treats melasma and hyper pigmentation but also whitens your complexion.
