It can be triggered by pregnancy, menopause or general fluctuations.⁣ ⁣ So here’s what to look for to help you identify it…⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ✨ 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱⁣ Sun damage is often random and scattered, a bit like large freckles. Whereas melasma is far more symmetrical and usually covers larger areas.⁣ ⁣ ✨ 𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗽⁣ It’s very common to get it right above your upper lip, but can also affect your forehead and cheeks with a more ‘blotchy’ than speckled pattern too. ⁣ ⁣ ✨ 𝗜𝘁 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲⁣ Sun damage occurs when the skin has been exposed to UV light. But melasma can flareup in heat alone. This is why if you go on holiday, apply SPF 50 every 2 hours and only sit in the shade, you can still get a flareup. ⁣ ⁣ If this is you, you can never entirely ‘get rid’ of melasma, but you can certainly work to keep it under control. The 5 Minute Kit is absolutely wonderful for this and I’ll pop some before and afters in the comments for you 🥰⁣ ⁣ If you have any questions at all, please never be afraid to ask either 💕⁣ ⁣ Amy x⁣ ⁣ #hormonalpigmentation #melasma #pigmentation #sundamage #skinexpert
