I'm pale and have a big brown patch on my forehead. It's like lots of freckles joined up, so I assume it's sun damage. I've had lymphoma (and chemo), which does make you more sensitive to the sun, but it's come on quite quickly in the last 6 months which surprises me as I finished treatment more than a year ago, and I've barely been going outside! I did start HRT about 9 months ago so I do wonder if that could be the cause?
In any case, I will be more careful with spf to try and stop it getting worse, but are there any products that could help improve it?
I'm really reluctant to try any sort of peel/acid/strong exfoliant, because my skin is very sensitive. I use Elemis products because I find they don't irritate my skin, and I use their papaya enzyme peel once a week (very gentle). Any more exfoliation and my skin goes bright red. Are there any products that can help fade my dark patches but still be gentle on my skin?
