Patient's question:
I am 21 years old because I often exposed myself to excessive sun in the summer, which caused me to develop over a dozen age spots on my face. So, I wear makeup every day and use BB cream every day, but I also apply makeup every day. What are the harms to the skin from wearing makeup for a long time? What will happen? Is it necessary to use face masks frequently?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that your facial melasma is caused by sun exposure and ultraviolet rays. The first thing you should do is to apply sunscreen. You can frequently use many hydrating and moisturizing face masks, but you don't need to use them every day. If you wear makeup every day, it's essential to do a good job with both application and cleansing, otherwise it may cause the melasma to worsen. Additionally, you can use depigmenting products for your facial melasma. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
