@dr_ingky: Your cheek pigmentation gets darker every summer? That is known as Melasma Melasma isn't triggered by UV alone. Heat and skin irritation can also make it worse. What helps: • Skip harsh scrubs → Avoid unnecessary irritation • Use gentle actives → Azelaic acid can be a milder option • Limit heat exposure → Hot showers, saunas, and prolonged heat can trigger flare-ups • Protect your skin → SPF 50+ and a hat when outdoors Truth: Managing melasma isn't just about treating pigmentation. You also need to reduce the triggers that make it worse. Save this for later.
