The natural & organic solution to Melasma

The natural & organic solution to Melasma
Media Release - March 2019
 
Suffering from blotchy pigmentation across your face? You are not alone. Facial pigmentation known as Melasma is a very common condition caused by a hormonal shift or UV ray exposure, a common side effect of pregnancy. Melasma results in the overstimulation of the melanocyte cell causing pigmentation to appear through the layers of the skin resulting in brown/grey patches on the skin.

Creator and Founder of La Mav Organic Skin Science, Tarj Mav first experienced Melasma during pregnancy, which ended up being the trigger to her creating her own brand of natural, certified organic beauty products. Tarj says, “I really found it was confidence killer and in particular in my work life and when I was in groups of people. I went from being a confident presenter to trying to avoid presenting at all costs.  I have very few photos of myself from that period as I didn’t not feel comfortable in my own skin.”
 
“As a researcher at heart, I quickly became aware that ingredients such as hydroquinone had side effects like skin dryness, sensitivity, increased allergies and endocrine disruption. It was then I realised the only way to really make a change was with natural and organic ingredients that would help nourish and heal my skin. We use bio actives that are Anti- tyrosianise inhibitors in our products to reduce the visual appearance of Melasma,” adds Tarj.

Tarj’s recommendations for reducing the appearance of Melasma include:
 
Rumex Advanced Lighting Crème | RRP $39.95
Infused with anti-aging constituents this daily moisturiser is designed to diminish discolouration and restore the natural radiance of the skin. Nourishing and protecting the skin, the advanced skin brightening formula protects beyond the skins outer layer, supporting natural cell repair and eliminating the damage of cellular DNA from UVA/UVB.
 
Anti-Dark Circle Eye Gel | RRP $39.95
This light gel smooths out fine lines and wrinkles hydrating and revitalising the under-eye area. Diminishes dark circles and puffiness resulting in a more awake and fresh look, the gel brightens the skin under the eye area.

Targeting discolouration in skin, the serum works to improve the skins clarity and boost radiance. Leaving skin with a healthy, glowing and even tone, the clinically proven bio-active complex contains high levels of Vitamin C, Aloe Vera and Rosewater which instantly revitalises tired skin.

This unique organic nectar created with the perfect balance of Vitamin C and synergistic blend of skin tightening ingredients promotes visibly lighter, evenly toned and radiant skin. Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles the nectar delivers on long lasting anti-aging benefits, keeping natural healthy glow of the skin.
 
“It is important to realise once you see Melasma on the topical layer, it means it is present in all layers of the skin and has slowly come to the surface. It is the surface Melasma we are constantly working on until the end of the cycle,” adds Tarj.
