Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or gray-brown patches to appear—most often on the face. It’s especially common on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. While melasma isn’t harmful, it can take a toll on confidence and feel frustrating to manage.

So, what causes it?

Melasma is often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, and genetics. It’s why many women notice it during pregnancy (sometimes called the “mask of pregnancy”) or after starting birth control. Heat, certain skincare products, and even stress can also play a role in flare-ups.

You can easily find articles online that list melasma’s symptoms and suggested treatments—but here’s the thing: everyone’s skin is different. What works for one person may not work for another, and self-treating with random products can sometimes make it worse.

That’s why doing a consultation with the ladies at Tailored To You is such an important first step. We take the time to understand your skin, your lifestyle, and your concerns before building a personalized treatment plan and home regimen just for you. From professional in-studio options like RF Microneedling or Pico Laser Rejuvenation, to everyday skincare that supports your long-term results, we’re here to guide you through it.
