melasma treatment at home - #13328
I am super frustrated with this melasma on my face. For the last few months, I've noticed dark patches showing up, mostly on my cheeks and forehead. I never had this before, and honestly, it feels like a total nightmare. I've tried over-the-counter creams and some sunscreen, but I still see no improvement. My friend told me about melasma treatment at home options, but I have no idea where to start! I read a bit about using natural remedies like vitamin C or maybe licorice gel, but can those really help? Also, does anyone know if things like aloe vera or apple cider vinegar are actually effective for melasma treatment at home? I just can’t shake this feeling that I need to do something more than what I’m currently doing. I've even thought about diets and how food might affect melasma — like, does chocolate or dairy make it worse? If anyone’s found something that worked for them in terms of melasma treatment at home, or if there's a specific regimen you suggest, please share! I’m feeling a bit lost here and could really use some guidance!
