Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with diet and melasma. Me too, I’m very sensitive to carbs and it really triggers my hyperpigmentation. Fruits especially! It’s amazing what small improvements to our diet and lifestyle can do. Thanks again for leaving a comment, it’s always good hearing other people’s results 🙂

I am a case in point for melasma fading and turning into almost nothing by moving to a paleo – almost carb free – diet. Honestly the list of benefits of switching to this way of eating for me, is really, really long. From a reduction in PMS symptoms, to clearer thinking, less dry skin, better vision… and on and on. I have before and after photos of it too. It didn’t ever go 100% away, but I wasn’t ever 100% perfect in my diet either. I am human. Last year with the lockdowns, and I strayed a long way from this way of eating, I am noticing signs of it coming back. Thanks for this article and the reminder of how important diet is in managing melasma.

Thank you natasha great video. Very helpful. I’ve gone sugar free this month, now I’m going to massivly cut down carbs. Sad to leave potatoes..but will see how goes. I have a suspicion mine is caused by the liver because there was a time I uses to drink loads of smoothies thinking they were health. Year and a bit later melasma showed up.

Hi Natasha,
this was very informative and i am so grateful. i took plan B a few times in a year and then not having AC in the car caused my melasma. its been a year and im still dark. my family cooks unhealthy and i am struggling to cleanse and eat better. any ideas what i can do? A day is hard, a month seems impossible but im desperate to get my natural skin tone back
thanks!!!

Hi Ana,
Do you add anything to the tea, like sugar or sweetener? You can try decreasing or taking a break from the tea to see if it helps.

In reply to Adriana. Hi Adriana, Which side of your face is the melasma darker? If you drive or in a car a lot, sometimes it can be from the sun exposure from the car window. Also you mentioned you got it after breastfeeding, which could be connected to hormones. Definitely try improving diet and decreasing carbs which could help balance everything out.

Is black tea bad for you? Does it aggravate the melasma? I drink alot of that.

I have melasma more on one side of my face than the other. After reading your information I just realized I think I got it after I stopped breastfeeding. I see that now. I had it very light and then all of a sudden it got super dark and grew. I am freaking out and need to work on changing eating habits to help them fade. I feel their darkening.
