Mine’s back. I had just started with a cosmetic dermatologist, got this great cream and got pregnant again. That’s right, I’m back in the proverbial child saddle. I’m with child. My hyperpigmentation is also making a comeback. Motherf*cker. My forehead is getting blotchy, and I get dark specks on my cheekbones, right at the top. It was just starting to go away, and whamo! It’s incredibly stubborn. I don’t put my face in the sun, hence all the photos of me in the summer, with a white face, and bronzed body. I look weird. I know I should start using a self tanner, but if I use one, I have to be so careful not to do the areas where the hyperpigmentation is (it just gets darker). So screw it. I go two-toned in the summer. Everyone should have a cosmetic dermatologist. I can’t wait to get back together with mine.
tip#1: don’t go to a “laser clinic” and let some random person who took a course touch your face, I’ve done that. MAJOR mistake.
tip#2. You don’t have to buy the $140 Dermaglow creams. Go to a doctor, they will mix one up, for a fraction of the price.
tip#3. while pregnant or nursing use La Roche Posay. Mela D cream for pigmented areas. Its safe and it makes me feel like I’m keeping the pigmentation at bay.
tip#4. I can’t tell you drink wine while pregnant. Pour a virgin.
tip#5. stop looking in mirrors.
this is just the beginning. Give it a couple months it will look like I rubbed coffee on my face.
Cheers, cheers.
