To reduce melasma on the face, a multi-faceted approach can be taken. Strengthening sun protection is key to minimizing skin damage from ultraviolet radiation and preventing darkening of pigmentation. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamin C and E, such as fruits and vegetables, may help reduce pigmentation by providing antioxidant benefits. In addition, maintaining a regular sleep schedule and ensuring sufficient rest are important steps in fading melasma, as quality sleep promotes skin metabolism. You may also consider using gentle pigmentation-reducing skincare products, but be sure to choose products suitable for your skin type and follow the correct application methods. If melasma is severe, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist to explore medical aesthetic treatments such as laser therapy or chemical peels.
