[HORMONAL PIGMENTATION & MELASMA] 🤯 We get a LOT of questions from ladies who have developed hormonal pigmentation either from 🤰 Pregnancy, 🤱 while breastfeeding or the 💊 Pill. This is characterised by large solid patches of dark pigmentation usually mirrored on both sides of the face. It can also appear like a 🦋 butterfly shape on the face. The next thing about hormonal pigmentation or melasma is that it’s really tricky to treat fast (as apposed to sun damage), doesn’t always respond well to IPL and laser treatment and can sometimes return stronger and more resilient than before if this method is used. ☀️ Living in warm climates where being outside is like breathing also makes it trickier again, because once you have this kind of pigmentation it can be stimulated by heat and light, so even if you are hiding under a hat just the heat and UV can make this pigmentation darker... SO... What works then? 🍊 Patience, a really good tyrosinase inhibitor product, Vitamin C, combined with gentle exfoliating, moisturising (dry skin tends to pigment easier than an oily skin) this skin well and SPF. ⏰ It can take time time time to treat and if you are pregnant with it, it may be a case of management until your hormones have settled post pregnancy and breastfeeding.. swipe to see the feedback from this gorgeous esmi customer after 6 months of actively treating her pigmentation.
