Heat Triggers Melasma
Heat triggers Melasma. It causes skin to become hot and sensitive, creating dark brown spots.
The exact process by which high climate creates Melasma has yet to be fully understood, but several theories have been studied.
One theory suggests that warmth triggers the production of melanocytes, the cells that produce skin melanin.
This pigment gives color to your skin. When exposed to high climate, these melanocytes become revved up and produce more melanin, leading to the development of Melasma.
Another theory suggests that heat triggers redness in the skin, which starts with Melasma’s development. Inflammation can disrupt the normal function of melanocytes thus leading to an increase in melanin production.
Warmth increases the skin’s barrier, giving UV radiation the strength to pierce more deeply.
UV radiation is a known trigger for Melasma, and when it fuses with warmth, it can make Melasma much darker.
Additionally, high temperatures can cause vasodilation, which is the spread of blood vessels.
Any heat source triggers Melasma. Including cooking in front of a hot stove.
The charge of blood flow can lead to a higher mass of melanin in certain areas, pushing the development of Melasma.
Long periods of heat can make Melasma worse
It is important to note that while warmth is a common trigger for skin pigment, sun damage, and Melasma, other factors such as hormones and the sun also create Melasma or make current face pigment darker.
Therefore, it is crucial to take a broad approach to Melasma, including sun protection, steer clear of heat, and use topical Melasma skincare.
High heat temperature triggers Melasma through various channels, including:
- Skin inflammation
- Skin permeability
- Skin vasodilation
- Increased melanocyte activity
Understanding the root cause of warmth to the skin can help develop effective strategies for stopping and combating Melasma.
Melasma will fade away with time, especially with good protection from the sun and other light sources.
