Well.. my face is un-even toned and I suffer with redness and blotches. This has gotten increasingly worse since having Ds a couple of years ago.

I am quite fair in colouring and would love gorgeous luminous white skin but it never seems to happen.

Any advice? Or names of products to try, I do usually wear a sunscrean in the summer but I dont feel it really makes my skin any better

HI, I went to a "beauty evening" at Boots one time and they did a make over on someone with exactly your skin type. She used.. wait for it.... a foundation with GREEN!! tinge! This evened out the red tones then foundation was applied on top. If you go to boots to the beauty counter they will be able to advise you of the product for the job. Good luck!

I have a similar problem, above my top lip is very dark now and I look like I have a moustashe, it gets even worse in the summer even with factor 60 on all the time.

Foundation to cover up helps a bit but I am prone to spots, well its more like teenage acne most of the time, so I don't like to have to slap on make up, it still doesn't totaly disguise the dark bits or the acne scars.

I have tried products like Fade Out and some other stuff but it never seems to make any difference.

Hope some one else has some suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will get myself off to Boots and see what they say.

I have just bought myself some little samples of anti-redness cream by La Prairie but the full sized jar is mega bucks and I can't really justify it.. so still on the lookout.

I tried that fade out cream too Sribble and it didn't do anything for me either.

It would be great to hear from anyone else with this problem also?
