How to effectively treat melasma

Treating melasma is a process that requires patience and discipline in skin care. And not everyone knows how to combine products to maximize their effectiveness. In this article, Jk LAB introduces to you a set of melasma treatment cosmetics to help your melasma treatment cycle achieve the best results.

1. Skincare routine for melasma in the morning

1.1. Clean your skin with a gentle cleanser

For skin with melasma problems, priority should be given to using a gentle cleanser. Washing your face in the morning will help remove dirt, oil, and bacteria later.
Products with strong “bleaching” agents will give a cleaner feeling, but will accidentally wash away the skin’s protective oil layer, leading to drier and thinner skin. For skin with melasma, this is not good because weak skin will be easily affected by sunlight, causing more severe melasma.

1.2. Use essence to support melasma treatment

To treat melasma, dermatologists recommend that you use products containing the ingredients Arbutin, Tranexamic acid, Hyaluronate, etc. Understanding that, JK Lab launched Active Brightening Ampoule essence to help brighten the skin and reduce acne. post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
After cleansing the skin, take 2-3 drops and apply to entire face, gently pat with hands to absorb, use twice morning and evening.

1.3. Use moisturizer to create a protective barrier

Whether day or night, moisturizer is an indispensable product in the melasma skin care routine. Moisturizer creates moisture and softens the skin, helping the skin have a strong protective barrier

1.4. Use sunscreen

The main cause of skin pigmentation is sunlight. Therefore, sunscreen is an important and decisive step in the melasma treatment cycle.
There are 3 types of sunscreen: Physical sunscreen, chemical sunscreen, hybrid physical sunscreen. In which, physical hybrid chemical sunscreen will be most suitable for melasma skin because physical hybrid chemical sunscreen will overcome the limitations of physical sunscreen and sunscreen.
JK LAB introduces you to Sunscreen Broad Spectrum sunscreen. Take a sufficient amount and apply all over your face. Then gently pat the product to absorb. Apply 30 minutes before sun exposure and repeat after 2 to 3 hours.

2. Skincare process for melasma at night

2.1. Clean with makeup remover and facial cleanser

Skin after a long day accumulates dirt, oil, sunscreen, makeup, etc. You will not be able to remove all dirt and clean your skin without makeup remover. After removing makeup, you still need to use facial cleanser to clean remaining dirt.

2.2. Exfoliate dead skin

Exfoliation helps unclog pores and helps fade pigmentation. You should only exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week because if you exfoliate too much, it will erode the skin, making it thinner and weaker.

2.3. Use special melasma treatment cream

Night is the appropriate time to use special melasma treatment products. Firstly, at night the cells work more strongly to help absorb the nutrients of the product. Second, at night there is no sun exposure, so products with sun-sensitive active ingredients can be used.
With special ingredients in treating melasma such as retinol, niacinamide, and Hyaluronate in Retin A Cream, it will help you increase collagen and effectively fight aging by reducing fine wrinkles. Should be used at the last step after completing the basic skincare cycle. For skin that has never used retinol, you should use it 3 times a week and apply a thin layer.

Either way, good skin care is only part of the melasma treatment process. To achieve the highest effectiveness, you need to use measures such as laser skin resurfacing, even skin pigmentation and improve skin texture, and have a scientific post-treatment protection regimen.
