Hello all melasma fighters! Today i feel weak, sad and frustrated... again... It's been 7 years now my melasma started. I made some errors at the beginning but since I've been obsessed with it for the last 5 years, I'm very strict on my care routine and achieved quite satisfying results. But sometimes all the efforts seems to be useless :(((

​

I accepted to change my lifestyle for the sake and in the name of my melasma. Stopped cardio trainings, all outdoor activities or anything creating body heat, i decline all day time invitation, spent a fortune on treatments, creams and makeup, rub my sunscreen 4 times a day, wear a hat everytime i go outside, avoid any direct or indirect sun/uv exposure, mostly live inside with closed curtains etc but sometimes i guess it's not enough and just like that... poof in my face, it's super dark or reddish again!! I'm really tired of that shit and i wished to have my life back with my tanned skin and to be able to do everything like/with my friends and family...

​

Anyway, i just wanted to share with anyone else who's feeling shit or ashamed or in pain that you're not alone and there's other people like you suffering from melasma! Keep it up, we're all beautiful people 🤍

Ps. Photo from today's tears. Foreahead is fine but the chicks are terrible 😭
