After summer is over is when the dark patches start. For me this Fall is starting out whiter. I have hardly been out in the sun and if I have it´s been well protected with a hat or an umbrella.
I do know lots of people will start my same battle with Melasma.
One of the best things my doctor has recommended to me is the makeup Avene Couvrance Compact Foundation. It last all day without touchups.
At first I wasn´t too sure about it. It seemed to thick and fake. If you apply it you must first find your correct color. I use sable. Apply near a window. Start from the middle and work outwards (use the sponge applicator it comes with). Spread evenly and with patience. Then if you have darker spots to cover use your fingertips to gently tap. When the foundation is blended in I use Estee Lauders translucent Loose Powder in Light Medium, it gives me a nice golden glow. I apply them with a big powder brush. I have used these for 15 years, I love them. I do not apply blush because I think it accentuates my dark spots.
Avene Couvrance has helped me take the focus off of Melasma, I feel like I have a normal complexion. You would never guess I was fighting against melasma, would you?
