Jan 11, 2010, New Skincare treatment for Melasma

Melasma, or "mask of pregnancy" is a hormonal disorder causing dark patches on the skin. It affects 45 million women worldwide.

Further treatments are required for maintenance over time, so it's best to avoid getting this condition in the first place. Once you get it, it's hard to get rid of.

Two methods to prevent the onset of Melasma are staying out of the sun and tanning booths, and wearing a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF with a zinc oxide content of 10%.
