Pigmentation & Melasma
If you have melasma which is pigmentation in the shape of a butterfly, across the cheeks and forehead, I suggest you try and make an appointment to see a dermatologist. If seeing a dermatologist is not possible, try some of the above products. What’s most important is a good SPF and staying out of the sun as much as possible.
Melasma can happen at any time. Mine decided to join me in my late 30s when I started taking a contraceptive pill, and I have never been able to get rid of it completely. With some of these products and a prescription, it will fade quite a lot during the winter months, but the second summer is back, so is the melasma.
SPF
Find a good SPF. We have lots of sun cream suggestions in the Facebook Group. Just go to the search bar and search #spfpoll. My personal favourites are Heliocare 360 Oil-Free and Altruist. The top favourite by the Deciem Addicts in the Facebook Group is Anthelios La Roche Posay. Personally, I did not get on with this (which I purchased due to all the recommendations) as it irritated my eyes terribly and had an awful reaction. Always patch test and ask the counters/pharmacies if they have testers before buying.
