I stupidly forgot to put my spf 50 on when it was sunny on Sunday and it was 3 days post peel.

I’ve now got a dark patch on my forehead about 7mm across. It’s not that dark but I can see it in certain lights.

I’ve got an led facemask with a green setting so I’ve given it an hour of green this afternoon.

Is it permenant? I’ve worn spf every day apart from my wedding day for 19 years & the one time I forget it’s really damaged me 😭😭😭

Other products I’ve got that might help;
Nicanamide and zinc
Salicylic acid
Euk 134
Alpha lipoic acid
Glycolic peel.

I’m getting the buffet with copper for my birthday & im wondering if I should buy the vitamin c powder to dab on this patch?.

I’m so cross with myself. I plaster myself with sunblock all summer, we have words about me taking so long to get ready to go out because I have to apply sunblock everywhere 20 minutes before we leave.

Stop using acids! You need a balm.

LRP cicaplast

If it's visible, there will be plenty more that's not visible yet but will develoip over time, Vit C should soften it (water based ascorbic acid from the Ordinary) but IPL is the best thing to fade it, one treatment is rarely sufficient....
