A MUST read. It baffles my brain how the 'beauty industry' continues to convince people that harsh chemical peels and professional treatments are a good idea, especially for treating melasma. The number of people who I know personally who are now suffering from pigmentation after doing these treatments, or using those products is growing. There is also so much mis-information out there about the causes and treatments for pigmentation and melasma.  And so .. for anyone out there who suffers from melasma or keen to know more about it, I highly recommend this book. It's brilliant. There are so many handy little tips in the book.
