Melasma occurs when the skin produces excess melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color) which makes spots or patches of skin appear darker than surrounding areas. It is usually present in the sun-exposed areas like the face and the neck.

Directions of use

• Before the application of BAN A TAN, cleanse your face with a suitable face wash to exfoliate the dead skin.
• Apply BAN A TAN generously and evenly on your face. Recommended for twice daily application (once during daytime and once during the night)
• After application of BAN A TAN, apply a sunscreen before stepping out in the sun. Spending time in the sun may increase the severity of melasma. To control this exacerbation it is recommended to apply a sunscreen of minimum 50 SPF.

• Trivia & myth busters

Myth

Melasma can be cured by any fairness cream.

Fact

No over the counter fairness cream of the world is going to cure melasma. Melasma can only be managed but not completely cured.

Myth

Sun exposure triggers melasma.

Fact

Sun exposure does not trigger melasma. The root cause of these dark patches is hormones (although the cycle is not fully understood). The sun can only exacerbate/increase the severity of melasma. That is why, not all, exposed to the same amount UV intensity develop melasma. Only a few whose hormones are pre-disposed to melasma, develop these dark patches. Since sun exposure can exacerbate melasma, it is recommended to wear a 50 SPF sunscreen, hat and sunglasses when stepping out in the sun
