There are all kinds of different skin conditions women can suffer from.
There's acne, wrinkles and the hyperpigmentation condition known as melasma.
This shows up as dark patches or spots, usually on the face.
You will find these spots on the forehead, nose, cheeks, chin and above the upper lip.
This area is where the despised melasma mustache is found.
That's right, discoloration above the lip can give you the appearance of facial hair where there is none.
It can ruin an otherwise flawless face.
Case in point, there was a beautiful blond who worked at my local pharmacy.
She was always tan, whether from a tanning bed or spray tan I don't know.
The only thing that marred her perfectly put together appearance was a glaring melasma mustache.
Many people don't realize that tanning, spray tans, and sunless tanners can make melasma worse.
Sun exposure darkens melasma, as do bronzers and sunless tanners.
When it comes to skin safety, always opt for a sunless tan over sunbathing or a tanning bed.
When you go for a sunless tanning session such as Mystic Tan, or do the job yourself with one of the fabulous airbrush tanners on the market today you can avoid the darkening of your melasma in a simple way.
You need a bottle of DHA inhibitor, which keeps the tan from developing anywhere it is applied.
Use a cotton swab with a fine tip to dab the product on your melasma spots.
This will keep them from darkening from the spray tan.
