Melasma skin: essential oil

2017-07-19 12:48:35
I have melasma since 5 years now and it has worsened over the years. What are some common cosmetic ingredients that I need to avoid other than paraben, siloxane? I'm looking for an essential oil that will improve my melasma and also for skin hydration. How are Marula, Aragan, Castor oil with respect to melasma ? Please recommend.

There is no oil that can improve melasma as the colour is very deep and not on superficial skin. First and foremost, sunprotection is very important. If you don't do that, it will never go. So this is required all your life. Secondly some creams are there which can reduce the pigmentation. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and prescription.
