Melasma is a condition of the skin causing dark spots and patches, generally on the face.
These freckle-like marks can appear brown, grayish-brown, bluish-gray, or tan. It is relatively common and frequently mistaken for other skin conditions.
Women are most likely to be affected by melasma; when it is in a highly visible area or perceived as a blemish or blight, it can be a difficult condition to live with.
This condition can affect anybody but has been linked to female hormones and is seen most often in women with darker skin. It is also known as the "mask of pregnancy" due to its common occurrence during that stage of life.
While treatments for hyperpigmentation may fade the dark spots, they are not a permanent cure for the condition and it can come back, particularly when you fail to use proper sun protection when spending time outside. Many people say melasma fades in the winter and becomes more noticeable in the warmer weather.
While causes are not always apparent, the following factors seem to impact the development of melasma:
• Pregnancy
• Birth control pills
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Sun exposure
No, it is not a type of cancer, nor is it a sign of skin cancer.
The symmetrical dark patches that are a hallmark of the skin condition are most often seen in the following areas:
• Cheeks
• Chin
• Forehead
• Nose
• Upper lip
• Arms or neck (less commonly)
If the skin condition is caused by birth control pills, hormone therapy, or pregnancy, the discoloration may fade on its own when the condition ceases. If you find the dark patches bothersome, you can use natural remedies. Mother Nature has effective solutions if you know where to look.

Use this especially for my night time routine and I wake up with a glowing complexion! I’ve noticed a difference in evening out my skin and feels like it has repaired over-night. It’s great after using the Ultimate Hydrating Elixir Cream.
I just put a few drops on my hands, warm it up to activate and pat gently all over my face and neck. This is the first time I’ve ever used truely organic products and specifically feels very calming - it’s like I’m treating myself every night.
A small amount goes a long way and I’m loving the results so far!

I absolutely love this product! When you first open the bottle you are welcomed by earthy aroma. The oil is on the thicker side with a rich texture. Just a few drops is all you need and immediately absorbs into the skin without a greasy finish.
I was pleasantly surprised at how moisturized my skin was even after a few hours of being out and about in the city. I am very picky about the products I put on my face and always check the ingredient label first.
I was happy to see all the ingredients were oils I am familiar with and have used in the past in my routine. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It's a fantastic moisturizer and even after a few days of use I could see how happy my skin was.

Inside the leaves of the aloe vera plant is a gel called aloin, which has been proven to lighten skin. It also provides natural UV protection and anti-inflammatory properties.
Research supports the use of green tea extract for depigmenting. The best practice is to purchase green tea extract, or you can try applying steeped and cooled green tea bags to the affected areas twice daily to achieve a lightening effect.
This natural treatment comes from fermented muhrooms and works by suppressing the production of melanin that results in dark pigmentation.
A native fruit of northern Australia, the kakadu plum is also known as gurumal, gubinge, murunga, or billygoat plum. It is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and other nutrients like calcium, copper, fiber, folate, magnesium, and zinc. As the richest botanical wellspring of vitamin C in the world, the kakadu plum has 100 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange. When used in a cream or serum for the skin, this fruit brightens the complexion, reduces hyperpigmentation, and fights against sun damage.
The antioxidants and vitamins A, D, E, and K found in olive oil have been shown to fade scars by helping with cell regeneration. It is also a natural moisturizer that is used successfully to hydrate and soften skin.
Applied topically to affected areas of the skin, witch hazel can be extremely effective in reducing puffiness, eliminating excess oil, preventing bacteria growth, soothing inflammation, tightening pores, evening skin tone, and normalizing pH levels in the epidermis.

This cream has done WONDERS for my skin! I have acne-prone, sensitive skin that is easily susceptible to breakouts, and usually am at a loss for finding a cream that actually helps me manage these traits.
The Clear Skin Elixir Cream stands out from all of the other (many) creams I’ve tried though because of its effectiveness at actually keeping my acne outbreaks at bay!
The lightness of the cream and the fact that it’s made from natural ingredients and doesn’t contain elements that are harmful to my skin makes me love it even more.
Since I started using it, I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers about how beautiful, clear, and radiant my skin looks. I highly recommend this product!
