Triplet Sisters Scarred In Fire Have New Hope

As I was doing my daily web surfing I casually came upon a link to The Triplet Sisters .

It's worth the read and take a look at the photo gallery. Makes my problems and maybe others seem rather petty.

Although I do like what one of the sister's says "What you are like inside is what’s important, but that doesn’t mean what’s outside doesn’t count."

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall...


Thanks to lots of good advice I stopped looking in the mirror so much.


I'm learning to step back and look at myself as a whole, not as a spot or a blotch.


It's helped alot. Especially not to look at myself without makeup, that is the worst, so I avoid it as much as possible.


If I look good with makeup and do some great coverup why worry so much and fester over a perfect complexion?


I am still recuperating after a bad experience with laser 2 months ago and post hyperpigmentation. As directed by my dermatologist, I am applying a hydroquinone 4% cream morning and night and at night an additional serum with cucumber extract. My complexion is almost pre-laser and I hope it stays that way.


Yes, as all of us with melasma....

I'm worried a little about the summer, but not panicking. I have my big sunglasses, floppy hats and sunscreen ready. Will definitely avoid sun exposure during peak hours between 1-5 in sunny Spain!


I'm posting a picture of me with a quick makeup routine for a weekend spent indoors. Can't tell I have melasma....can you????
