How To Conceal Melasma
Dark brown patches are spreading across your face and you feel embarrassed.

But these brown or tan patches of skin, especially on the face, can show up in
other circumstances, last longer, be more troublesome, and occur even in men.
Can the patches and splotches of melasma be concealed? To be sure, techniques
for concealing melasma can be found, if you follow three simple steps.
Step One: Men and women: STAY OUT OF THE SUN

possible. Sunlight worsens the appearance of the patches. They will often fade
without exposure to sunlight, but as soon as you sunbathe, watch out! Wear hats,
sunscreen with a high degree of protection, and, if you want an oldfashioned
remedy, use a parasol (men, you can call it an umbrella). That's right; it's
quaint but incredibly effective. It is especially helpful if your parasol,
umbrella or tent awning is made of one of the new, treated sunblocking
fabrics.
Step Two: Check out cosmetic coverups, which are available for both men and
women. Foundation, powders, mineral makeup, and specialty cover creams can be a
real boon. Investigate alternative therapies and other possibilities such as
hydroquinone.
Step Three: More dramatic treatments may suit you. You can conceal or get rid
of melasma for a period of time by bleaching your skin. You can consult

experienced and reliable dermatologist and ask about laser surgery as a
possibility. The procedure may succeed in removing or concealing patches.
Chemical peels are another alternative, so long as you have the time and
patience. None of these methods of concealing or eliminating melasma should be
used without medical advice. Maintain a positive opinion about yourself and so
will others.
Step Four: Don't freak out about it. Conceal your melasma with topical
remedies as best you can. Do not succumb to concern or embarrassment. Nothing
matters more than who you are; you can always feel pride in yourself, not matter
how you think you look. No one else can control your own opinion!
