I think melasma is caused by anxiety, fear of the future and not being able to handle problems as they come along. So you're in constant worry mode, your mind going in circles trying to prevent a bad event. Thus releases cortisol hormone which causes melasma. This is my current theory. I'm working on being ok learning from experience and making mistakes and knowing i can handle the problem as it comes along. Also bring ok knowing I'm not perfect and can make mistakes. Please reply if you're a worrier or have a lot of anxiety. Maybe we can see a pattern here. All disease is basically your body telling you there are negative emotions and thoughts that you're ignoring.

I hardly ever watch the videos because they are misleading; just read the comments...they are more informative!

Wow, the comments are so damn offensive...she is sharing her path to healing and how she has sustained her healing AND what EXACTLY she has used. It's not as if she is lasering her skin everyday...thank you so much for your honesty in sharing your story.

12:46 there. She did laser treatment.

She should have started with saying she had laser because that obviously is the big game changer.

Forget all of the complaints and rude comments.. I LOVED your video!!! I liked the energy you portrayed and how informative you are about products, cost...etc!! I have NO complaints! ❤ (Btw...didn't hurt that you are beautiful also!)

Thank you for the info, I learned a lot!!! all this rude comments are from bitter, jealous people, if they don’t like what they see, move on to the next video nobody is forcing you to watch it. There is absolutely no need to leave rude comments!!

Just so you know people; laser can make your melasma worse. She's saying all the things that worked for her. Laser is amazing for some, it made my skin much worse, melasma all over rather than a couple of quarter size patches. I'm watching to see what I can do to try to improve the damage done by the lasers. Thank you to the poster for the video and the links 🙏

Thank you for the video... Ps ... So many rude women over here ... If you dislike her history, just ignore ... no need to complain about it .. Take what you may think is good, do your own research and be grateful for this video sharing how she treated her melasma, because I can tell as Aesthetician... it's not something easy to treat. Namastê🙏

thank you so much, continue your videos, don't let anyone kill your spirit, there are too many angry people out there and they show their character.

For everyone who commented that the laser treatment is what cured her melasma...I had that same laser treatment done 10 times...yes TEN (Over the course of two years) and it made my melasma WORSE. Diet and supplements to regulate my hormones is what actually worked. It took me years to treat Melasma. Her treatments here are sound and some combo will work for you too.

I put Tea Tree oil on it and it's almost gone in a week...I heard it takes 3 weeks. I sometimes use a coconut oil as a carrier oil with it and sometimes not. Some say malasma is a fungus. So antifungals like Applce cider vinegar, sea salt or diluted bleach as well. Some acne is from fungus as well. Diet, sugar, yeast, sweating & the sun can make the fungus grow. But there are many solutions so keep faith 💖

Too much talking of personal things we dont care about. Little substantial info.

Ouch. Not really sure why there are so many negative comments on this video. I thought the information was extremely helpful, especially the internal supplement recommendations coming from a nutritionist. I have been a medical esthetician for 15 years, and will absolutely pass on the knowledge to the patients and clients that I work with daily. And - I just ordered the Zinc and the BioSil and can't wait to see the type of results I can get from the combination.

Something that has been helping me is that before I shower I massage my face either with avocado oil or almond oil(the oi is not important, chose what's best for your skin) for 10 minutes and then, right after I shower I immediately let very cold water refresh my skin. I also use pure aloe vera, it is completely natural since I take it directly from the leaf and place it in a tight glass jar and use it daily. My melasma is still there, but it is much lighter than before, I can actually hide it under makeup.

Melasma is the wicked step mother in the background saying I'm here and I'm not going away. She will be back

So basically it was the laser treatment that removed the dark spots. The other stuff it's just for preventing.

Zinc picolinate was the best thing to help clear up my melisma! I think it helped me more than my clear & brilliant treatments!!! Thank you.

Laser treatment can cause more hyperpigmentation for those with olive skin to darker from what I have read online.

I wish you would have mentioned the BBL laser at the beginning. That is what made your face look like it does and removed the spots.

Yes please to Derma planing! To Yari Milli - Why do watch if you find it boring or if you don't like how long she speaks? What a rude comment! If you don't like it why not Stop watching & leave! This is a free video where the lady is sharing free advice on what worked for her skin.

Thank for the biosil tip, I will be checking that out. By the way you are so pretty and you’re skin looks amazing!

I am so happy I ran into your page. I am mexican and I know we are prone to dark spots. I used to think it was because of sun exposure. But I've been living in Norway for 3 years now and I am getting new spots by the day! We barely have any sun here! You being half mexican, helps me to relate. Bit the most I am grateful to you is when you explained about the heat within ourselves. Because that makes a lot of sense now! I am easily agitated and of course I eat spicy and I have been drinking a lot of coffee since I moved here .. anyway, you have shed a lot of light to my situation and how it is reflecting on my skin. Lots of love!! Thanks!

Trying the biosil now! Bought the zinc at Target. Also using CeraVe vitamin C serum...I’m trying EVERYTHING I am so tired of my Melasma! Hopefully it goes away. Also something someone else told me about was Ashwagandha. Using some lemon juice/turmeric masks...I can’t afford to get laser so I am doing everything I can with home remedies.

Your eyebrows are perfect 👌

YOU ARE SO HELPFUL! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS INFORMATION! MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOU DO THIS NEW YEAR!

Thanks for this video!!!! 🤗😍 I developed melasma a year ago on my chin. It's embarrassing and I couldn't leave my house without people staring at my chin in a negative way.

Something I've noticed from all of the videos I've watched thus far. People with naturally darker/olive complexions like myself are more susceptible to melasma. Its in the DNA. Unfortunately there's just not a whole lot we can do to avoid it. Even avoiding the sun doesn't help. Lasering will just worsen it and we scar darker on top of the hyperpigmentation. Its just frustrating. I've been rocking my melastache (among other areas) for a good while now. A good CC cream and full coverage foundation has helped, other than that, its a part of me now.

You should consider taking liposomal glutathione. It deactivates the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps produce melanin. Tastes and smells horrible!, so finding it in pill form may be helpful. Amazing supplement with many benefits besides just skin care. Great for detoxing and fatty liver for example.

It comes back because the under lying cause is, inflammation. The inflammation causes the hormonal imbalance, and the or the sun triggers to cause patches, and every body has a different trigger to their inflammation - alcohol - caffeine - processed foods - not enough water - aging and the environments we choose to live in cause us to heal differently over time, so it is ever changing our diet, and needs to keep inflammation at bay.

All your tips are great. I hear you talking and hear myself. I've tried anything and everything. Just started using Musely and can say that after 40 days I'm seeing amazing results. So happy :)

SPF 20 isn’t a sunscreen. You need a broad spectrum sunscreen. Most dermatologists recommend 2 different brands. You can get melasma through a window so you need to put on sunscreen whether you go outside or not.

I learnt so many new things in this video. I had to subscribe. Thank you for all the great info.

If you only do laser or chemical peel, it comes right back. You have to treat the inside, as well as the outside of your body. Shes right about the Zinc and oils.

I bought a far infra red light bulb from ruby lux. Its like a heat lamp bulb. I did not buy the LED light bulb, I bought the heat producing far infra red bulb. I bought a Pixar lamp with a flexible am for 10.00 at the local thrift store (make sure the inside of the lamp that you screw the bulb into is ceramic or metal because the bulb is hot and it will melt a plastic one) . The bulb is really hot and it can burn you if you touch your skin on it but I hold it away from my skin enough to where I can tolerate it comfortably and it zeros in directly on my melisma. It’s wild, I usually do about 15 mnts a day and when I am finished I get huge red blotches right on my melasma. I am so freaking happy with the results. It was a total accident!!!! I used to wear so much make up to try to cover it up and it only made it look worse. I think it faded about 70% I live in Florida and the sun just beat on my face and it was really hard to correct it. I wonder if I can try to send a picture on this?? I will try.

I remember getting M in Barli I got rid of it. Years later I got it again but ins different spots near my eyes. And it seems to be stuck this time around 😩. I'm also vegan. But I notice I got it after taking antibiotics and painkillers after removing my wisdom tooth. It's been months! I have been able to reduce it. But it's still here.

I have melasma over 3yrs now. I tried soo many different things including professional wrong treatments, home treatments, and everything you else you could think of and still not completely went away. I stopped doing hot yoga, steam room, being outside without hat, sun cream. But around 4 months now, I have been using Drunken elephant 12% peel serum and noticed lighten up my dark spot, and of course that’s not the only thing that makes my dark spot lighter but that’s the main product. I’m so happy and grateful 😄 . Your skin look great. Thanks for sharing.

It was the laser treatment

Thank you so much for all these tips!!! Truly appreciated :) So happy I came across your channel :)

been using a vit c serum for years but my dark spots are still there..Ive tried many diff products I've read on blogs which have great reviews but I think you can't really get rid of the dark/age spots coz it's embedded already deeply in the skin.what I do now is just to cover it up with my fave HD foundation Inglot..looks natural and lightweight

People love to talk shit. Learn to listen! She gives alot of valuable info. I learned alot and thanks for making a video even though you didn't have to.

Thank you for sharing what has worked for you, and for being so honest about the laser.

Thanks for sharing this video! Sorry that so many people left rude comments. I agree that this video was too long and you could have edited it and/or gotten to the point a lot quicker, but I also appreciate your honesty and the fact that you were trying to provide as much info as possible. I realize that most people want a quick fix, but treating melasma and keeping it away is a complicated issue. The number one thing for people to realize is that you CANNOT cure yourself of melasma, you can only manage it. The best thing to do is learn to accept how your skin naturally behaves, and then experiment with a bunch of different treatments until you find something that works. I have struggled with melasma for over 10 years, and I can vouch for almost everything you said, with the exception of taking supplements. I never took any kind of supplements for my melasma, but I did change up my diet several times and it did nothing to improve my skin. After lots of experimentation and seeing a few different dermatologists, I found that the following dramatically reduced the melasma: 1) Fractional laser (Clear and Brilliant is the brand name) is the most effective way to get rid of melasma, although it is not a permanent solution. Creams and lifestyle changes can keep the melasma away, but the laser is essential first step in removing the pigment. 2) Applying oils and toners with vitamins and antioxidants (everyday) are phenomenal at keeping the pigment away and reducing sun damage. 3) Always apply a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher whenever you go outside, even if you're not going to be in the direct sunlight. It helps so much to prevent future spots! In fact, the more you can stay out of the sun, the better. If you drive a lot, get a sun-shield for your window so that you can reduce sunlight that hits your face.

I've had melasma for the past year and a half on one cheek only. I've had good improvement with avoiding spicy foods. I love spicy foods- siracha, Tajin, hot sauces, green chile on everything. So, I've cut back about 50% and have visible improvemnt. I'm also using a Collodal/Aloe Vera wound healing gel that has made improvment. It's also healed a small sun-damage spot on the side of my cheek where the drivers side sun bakes the left side of my face. These things work for me. Maybe they'll work for you! Hugs to all! Elisha

Great information and thanks for the links! I’m checking those out next. You touched on a few problems I’ve been dealing with. The vitamin C serum really works for dark spots. It nearly erased an unsightly rough spot on my temple area that I had for years and I was embarrassed about. You were right on target with everything 👍

Thank you, this video is so informative and I will try some of these. I suddenly started getting Mel Asma when I reached menopause and it’s driving me crazy!! You are SO beautiful 👍🏼

Your skin is beautiful😍Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the help everybody! I got the same issues as alot of you guys! I got thyroid issues and I suffer with anxiety, depression and worry worry worry about everybody and everything! Hope I can get rid of malasma. Would love you to show shaving your face. I do it rarely as I make my skin bleed. Thanks for this great video ❤😊

I would like you to make another video after 6 months or 1 year to make sure that you are really free from melasma. Because after treatment it generally appears again.

I always had clear skin until my last pregnancy and then I started getting melasma really bad, which I think there’s a turn for it. Ever since then I now have to do a far amount of preventing/treating for this issue. The one thing I can tell you that has help the most is Clinique Fresh Pressed™ Daily Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10% and the price is really reasonable. You are a very beautiful young lady and I hope you continue to do well🤗

I appreciate the information. I think its very valuable to get a few hints of what works for different people. Thanks a bunch!! Stumbled upon you looking for Things to do in Maui as we are visiting in July! I appreciate you! Much love

Mealasma is a chronic genetic condition, go and see your dermatologist. You can use natural remedies to ease the condition and make it less visible, such as liquorice extracts, Lactic and Kojic acids and oatmeal exfoliants.

Okay girl. I literally just found your channel 3 days ago and have been following you for a min on IG. Just know I’m over here as a KZfaq and business owner with a full time content creator. I just adore all the things and appreciate it! This was a full of awesome info! Connect more soon

I started getting these spots about 6yr ago....right after the birth of my little girl. I’ve watched videos, used creams, changed makeup, caked on the concealer to cover it up....I’ve done it all. At my last checkup with the doctor, I had been feeling tired all the time so I asked he doc if he would check my thyroid. A friend of mine mentioned that it could be related.....so we did the tests, My thyroid was crazy out of whack. I’m hypo...which means I’m not producing enough so we started the medication. I had to have it adjusted twice to get my numbers normal again. It’s been 14 months and I kid u not....my melasma is almost gone. I have just the two faint spots on my cheeks that came first when all this started with my skin. My hormone regulator is fixed. Y’all ask ur doc to check ur thyroid. It’s not a normal run of the mill test they would usually do unless ur older, u ask or u are having symptoms of something that would indicate thyroid (and no, they don’t usually pay attention to skin issues since they aren’t serious) problems. I feel better, my skin looks better...it can’t hurt to check.

It was the treatment mainly. Roship oil is known for lightening skin also if anyone is deciding what oil to pick. Vit C great. The ordinary is cheap but amazing no where near the high prices in thus video. Abrasion can make malasma worse in the long run espeshially if you have olive skin so be careful. My dermatologist told me not to be abrasive on the skin. Contreceptive medication plays a big part in the cause Is known. Cutting it out if you can helps. Be careful if do this obviously! I look forward to trying the Zinc though

Healing melasma it's really easy but getting red of it without turning back again it's impossible

Thank you for this video! You have such a fun personality and you’re so genuine. God bless you!!

Any light whether direct or not can cause melasma in those prone. Even bright lights. I hate melasma. I've never heard of dark spots being caused by getting hot. 🤷‍♀️

Thank u so much I m suffering from melasma from last 4 years I will try and tell u about the results on my skin

The struggle is real. I spent soooooo much money on over the counter products cheap and expensive. I finally went to a dermatologist and now take a rx cream and it’s been amazing. Like why did I wait so long!! I would really love for you to do the dermaplaining?/shaving tutorial PLEASE!!

I took mt2 and got melasma around my eyes and the melasma mustache 😩 I’ll do anything to make it go away I miss my face before

Since I've become deficient in Iron vitamin D and b vitamins I developed melasma. Now that I've fix thoses issues I notice is almost 100% gone

New subbie! Hi! And yes, please! Do the tutorial!😬 very informative! Thank you!

You are fortunate that these things worked for you, because melasma is usually something you have to manage for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, this alone will not work for me.

Loved this video, you’re gorgeous! Thanks for the info. Disregard the haters! They are just jelly.

You had a laser treatment, so that's probably what helped. I can tell you that shaving my face daily is probably what really helped my dark patches. I have an olive completion, get dark spots really bad, and some spots have been there for YEARS. When I started shaving my entire face daily, it made 98% of the dark spots go away within about 6-8 weeks. Not to mention my skin looks more vibrant. Also, try rose hip oil... it has natural occurring retinol that also helps to exfoliate skin more rapidly (as with shaving). And, it repairs the skin and is an excellent moisturizer. No chemicals-all natural. I just buy the 'Now' brand, and a bottle ($9 at my local health food store) goes a long long way! The 3rd thing to do is to get a cheap rough washcloth, rinse it with really hot water (heat does not affect my skin), and just scrub your skin really good. Doing all 3 of those things will 100% help change your skin. I can actually see fresh rosy skin coming through, as if I had a laser resurfacing treatment.

So much unecessary bs, Ima start going to the comments first like everyone else has been doing. Lol would have saved me time with all this blah blah blah she be doin

I had three laser treatments and it didn’t help :( many waisted:(

Wow....I can’t believe you got that melisma so quickly! Thanks for the video. Much Love

I would also suggest derma needling. I use a .25 and it has also helped with my dark spots and melasima. And makes your products go way deeper than derma blading. I personally do both along with gua Sha

Really Love this video!!! ignore the negative comments. I found this very helpful thankyou

I’ve always thought you shouldn’t wear vitamin C serum during the day, only at nightime 🧐 interesting!

skip to 2:00 minute mark. Blah blah blah until then. As a matter of fact, skip to the end. Nothing of value here.

This makes a lot of sense to my face spots. When my body temp rises those spots appeared so much more. I was into energy drink and diet pills that always made me super hot and I notice my face looked worse. This makes so much sense. Since I stopped everything, I notice my face clearing up. Thank you so much for sharing.

Need the vitamin C serum!!

Exfoliating the skin with coffee , coconut oil, cinnamon & brown sugar works great also . I use this on my body as well on my face as a dead skin remover.. It works amazing. just mix it all together and it works so well.... I do not do dermaplaning , I wax my face instead , I do not scrape it.... I also use a good peel off mask like the charcoal mask. It is a good thing. then put aloe vera on your skin to stop the burning . then try the senegence The climate control & sene serum C it works amazing So many other things works as well its also organic.

I wash my face once a week with baking soda, my hyperpigmentation comes off slowly over time, it doesn’t work for everyone but has worked beautifully for me. My whole face was really bad after my last pregnancy, i have almost no hyperpigmentation left

Would you say it was the laser treatment that helped the most in this process?

So you did bbl laser. Whole time you were fooling us👎

Did anyone notice her forehead does not move when she speaks?

I don’t know why I trust you than some dermatologist. I might add/edit my comment after following your advice.

I have been noticing dark spots all over my nose, checks, and upper lip and I wear freaking sunscreen, Vitamin C ect I live in Florida but I work from my home office and I’m not outside that much. I don’t understand what went wrong. I didn’t have these dark spots a year ago and I’m 35 now and all of a sudden bomb! Dark spots from hell!! I’m sad because I used to not mind having no makeup on and now I am too embarrassed to go w/on it. Especially because ppl will say “Woah what happened to your skin?” 😭😢 However I do believe the Vit C serum from Ole Henriksen was the culprit for the rapid decline in my sun spots

Great video! Pretty eyebrows 😊

Ridiculous. It was the laser treatment. Nothing to do with being vegan or anything you are saying blah blah blah

She's is right in everything she said in the video, I bought everything she mentioned

WOW .... in the introduction vdo, I realized the beautiful scene from Myanmar. You visited the nice places in Myanmar/Burma. Anyway, good advise for melsma .

Anyone care to share the exact solution... I cant listen to 19 minutes of rambling.

dear Rebell , ur video has been sooo informative. thank u so much

The zinc and I didn’t even realise it helps the skin. I only took this because of this corona virus crises, it worked on my skin 😮 and thank you for this video it’s helpful. I’ll check the stone jade, heard this 7 years from our Chinese kung fu teacher at school.

Sorry..... but I just read the other comments and I agree. Lots of good info but 98% the laser beautiful skin though amazing difference

all skin ailments are auto-immune disorders, so most important to avoid intense heat, Why override your instincts and body's natural warning signs of duress, your skin should not overheat. Removing all fine hair is essential, wax if possible, but has risks, as you have experienced, tweezing is painstaking, but works. Shaving is a preliminary step, not a solution. Gently tweeze following imaginary arcs, puckers will ease, dark spots will fade. My Dr, recommended a third cup of bleach in my bath, sounds bad, its fine, and does shrink spots. Stay cool, hot yoga practice induces brain fog, another symptom of a challenged immune system, not a mystical experience. Overheating is too challenging for your immune system, counter-effective to the mind/body challenge that elevates spirit and overall health. The benefits of yoga, and any practice are enhanced with a fully healthy experience. Peace!

I had spent 2000 dollars with the laser for my Melasma,but my face is still dark,now am going to use hat 👒 too,thank you for your advice.

Im a homeowner and must go outside to do yard work once a week so yeah that intern heat can’t ruin everything no matter how much you protect yourself. The Ordinary Ascorbic acid powder with ferulic acid has help a lot!!!

Thank you for this helpful info. Did you see the most significant difference after the laser treatment, or do you feel it was a combined effort...

I got melasma from dry shaving my face with a razor but I have been doing it for long and I am confused. My self confidence is sooo low and I have tried everything to make it better but nothing works *sigh*

I got sun spots while living in a hospital for 5 months 💁🏻‍♀️

If u visit tropical place with lot of sun, heat, and high humidity as bali, find products with zinc oxide and Calamine, it helps to sooth/cool the skin and reduce chance of the break out, rashes and other heat/sun damages. Of course dont forget the spf on the top of it. Hello from indonesia ❤

Great upload with lots of gold nuggets! Tamsak! God bless!

I always wanted to be a vegan. Don't know where to start. I was a pescetarian. Now I am on keto. But I do love the vegan lifestyle. Any guidance?

I had melasma years ago. Now I have the opposite. Not enough melanin making. Hormones? Maracuja oil is great too
