Causes of Melasma and Freckles in Adult Women

Although melasma and freckles do not seriously impact health, they can diminish confidence in one’s appearance. The causes of these issues may be genetic, but most often, they result from improper skincare.

  1. Hormonal Changes in the Body Disruptions in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, etc., can significantly reduce estrogen levels, leading to increased melanin hormones. This results in various skin changes such as wrinkles, reduced elasticity, and an increase in melasma and freckles.
  2. Prolonged Exposure to Sunlight and Computer Screens While sunlight carries hidden UV rays, computer screens emit ultraviolet rays that can penetrate the skin, increasing melanin pigments and causing brown spots. Regular exposure to this type of light not only irritates the skin but also contributes to the development of melasma and freckles.
  3. Use of Poor-Quality Cosmetics Currently, many people are willing to spend a considerable amount on products with unclear origins in the hope of achieving “fast-track” beauty. These low-quality products gradually erode the skin and make it more susceptible to damage.

To prevent and limit these conditions, you should consider:

  • Drinking enough water daily
  • Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet
  • Using sunscreen and protective gear when outdoors
  • Being cautious about the types of cosmetics before use

Having healthy skin is not an easy journey, but with proper investment and care, you will reap the deserved rewards.
