Healthcare experts believe that many reasons can contribute to the existence of Melasma or the patches of dark or brown spots on the skin. Here are some of the different causes of Melasma:
Over Sun Exposure
Being in a tropical country, Filipinos are more susceptible to Melasma. Harmful UV rays from the sun can trigger over production of melanin in the skin, resulting into formation of the dark spots.
Harmful Chemicals from Cosmetics
Use of makeup, astringents, and beauty creams with harsh chemicals can also damage the skin. These chemicals triggers melanocytes (cells that produces melanin in the skin) to produce more melanin; thus, resulting into dark spots.
Pregnancy
Increase in estrogen levels during pregnancy also stimulates overproduction of melanin. As a result, dark spots can develop during this period. You can read more about dark spots on pregnant women, also known as Chloasma, here

Birth Control Pills
Birth control pills cause changes in hormonal levels. This incidence also affects the melanin production in the body resulting into production of dark spots from inside to outside of the skin.
Genetics
Melasma is more common in darker skin types including Filipinos. Melasma can run in families and both man or woman can inherit it.
There are different causes of Melasma, it is still best to consult your dermatologists to check the best treatment available for you. One of their recommendations may be the use of over-the-counter oral medications that can treat dark spots from within.
