Celeb Skincare Pro Vanessa Lee of The Things We Do Shares the Surprising Ways You Could Be Triggering Melasma

Turn up the brightness! Celebrity skincare pro Vanessa Lee of The Things We Do shared the surprising ways you might be triggering melasma — and how to prevent it. 

The medical aesthetic provider, who keeps Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson, and Gabrielle Union, glowing, tells ET that certain nutritious foods might be doing more harm than good if you’re prone to dark spots. 

“In Chinese medicine, melasma is often linked to internal imbalances, particularly related to digestion and circulation. A common, but overlooked trigger is eating too many cold, raw foods like smoothies, salads, and iced drinks. These can weaken the spleen and stomach qi, leading to dampness and stagnation in the body, which manifests as discoloration on the face,” she explains.

Other healthy habits that could actually be self-sabotaging? “Elevated body temperature, even when you’re not in direct sun is a lesser-known culprit that is just as impactful. … Saunas, hot yoga, or intense workouts can raise internal heat, which stimulates melanocyte activity and darkens pigment,” the skin guru notes.

The Things We Do

If the damage has already been done, don’t sweat it — in more ways than one — thanks to the PicoSure Pro device at Lee’s studio at The Row in Los Angeles, California. 

How it works: “The laser uses ultra-short bursts of energy, called acoustic or pressure waves, to fragment pigment deep in the skin without generating heat or injuring the surface. Unlike lasers or microneedling that rely on controlled injury and skin resurfacing, this method keeps the skin barrier intact.”

“I had it done personally and was amazed by how quickly my sunspots faded, how smooth my skin looked, and how there was absolutely no downtime,” the founder explains. 

In addition to the getting the treatment done, Lee suggests making subtle changes to your everyday routine for a radiant complexion.

“To prevent heat-induced melasma, use a portable fan or our gel-bead cooling mask and high frequency wand. … For melasma flare-ups within, add variety to your diet with warm, cooked foods and incorporate ingredients like ginger, cinnamon, or lightly cooked greens to help support healthy blood flow and balance.”

The Things We Do

Finally, make sure your skin is protected at all times with both proper products and accessories. 

“Makeup with built-in sun protection, like blush and lip gloss, makes sun care easier and more seamless, so it becomes a habit, not a hassle,” the cosmetic RN shares.

“Wearing UV blocking sunglasses is also just as important. … UV exposure around the eyes doesn’t just damage vision, it can also intensify pigmentation in the surrounding skin,” she adds. 

And don’t skimp on the rest of your body.

“The neck, chest, and hands are sun-exposed daily and are often the first to show signs of aging and discoloration. … Sun gloves, especially while driving, are a must to prevent pigmentation,” the certified Eastern face reader notes.

  15. I was suggested this blog by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody
    else know such detailed about my problem. You’re incredible!
    Thanks!

  17. My brother suggested I may like this web site. He was once totally right.
    This submit actually made my day. You can not consider simply how much
    time I had spent for this information! Thanks!

  20. 1987, Toni Morrison, Beloved, page 269:Once, in Maryland,
    he met four families of slaves who had all been together for a
    hundred years: great-grands, grands, mothers, fathers,
    aunts, uncles, cousins, children. 1999, Cycle World Magazine, October 1999
    edition, page 60:The engine, with more compression, carburetion, and cam timing than the Ambassador,
    could lounge comfortably below four grand and then rush to 7500 rpm, aided and
    abetted by a light flywheel and a close-ratio five-speed box.

    He was a little bit huffed and grand at being nailed as an evidence, upon a
    few words carelessly, or, if you will, confidentially dropped
    at his own mess-table, where Lowe chanced to be a guest; and certainly with no suspicion that his little story could in any way be made to elucidate the mystery of Sturk’s
    murder. One straightforward way is to define a new primary method
    specialized on money-market-account. However, while an initform
    can be any Lisp expression, it has no access to the object being initialized, so it can’t initialize one slot based on the value of
    another. And if you decide you want to directly access the slot value in order
    to avoid running auxiliary methods, it gets even more cluttered.

  23. Simply want to say your article is as amazing.

    can assume you are a professional in this subject.
    Fine along with your permission let me to seize your feed to keep updated with

  24. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and
    gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
    but I had to tell someone!

  65. 11The Meta Object Protocol (MOP), which isn’t part of the language standard but is supported by most Common Lisp implementations, provides a function, class-prototype, that returns an instance of a class that can be used to access class slots. 9One consequence of defining a SETF function–say, (setf foo)–is that if you also define the corresponding accessor function, foo in this case, you can use all the modify macros built upon SETF, such as INCF, DECF, PUSH, and POP, on the new kind of place. In the latter case, the slot shared by instances of the sub-subclass is different than the slot shared by the original superclass. This can happen either because a subclass includes a slot specifier with the same name as a slot specified in a superclass or because multiple superclasses specify slots with the same name. Inherited :reader, :writer, and :accessor options aren’t included in the merged slot specifier since the methods created by the superclass’s DEFCLASS will already apply to the new class. While they were in high school, lead vocalist and guitarist Adam Levine, keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, bass guitarist Mickey Madden, and drummer Ryan Dusick formed a garage band called Kara’s Flowers and released one album in 1997. After a brief period they re-formed with guitarist James Valentine, and pursued a new, more pop-oriented direction as Maroon 5. In 2004 they released their debut album Songs About Jane, which contained four hit singles: “Harder to Breathe”, “This Love”, “She Will Be Loved” and “Sunday Morning”; it also enjoyed major chart success, going gold, platinum, and triple platinum in many countries around the world.
