okay i have a question. i recently started tanning (in a tanning booth) and have noticed that my upper lip has a dark discoloration. its not hair, but it does look like a 5oclock shadow. ewww.
so i did some research and apparently its called melasma, and it can be from sun exposure, birth control or pregnancy. they give some prescription recommendations but i'd rather not have to go to the dermatologist.
soooo, they also suggested using sunscreen, but is this going to just make my face white, while the rest of me is tan? what SPF should i get?
i was looking into some sunscreen and i saw philosophy's pigment of your imagination and it looks like it could be good. anyone tried this?
