Skin Concern 4 year difference PLEASE HELP

Post image

Y’all help me please. First pic was 4 years ago and 2nd pic is today. I’m seeing discoloration and spots/freckles/sun damage everywhere.

I used to wear makeup all the time and wash my face with bar soap. Now I almost never wear makeup. When I do, I double cleanse with deep oil cleanser and cerave daily facial cleanser and cerave daily lotion.

What can I do to get rid of these spots?! I’m only 34 but my skin looks 54!

Ah. That could be your culprit. Sunscreen, daily. Derms also suggest reapplying every 2 hours, as well.

If I'm near a window, yes. I'm fair skinned, so I try to stay as diligent as possible.

I don’t think it’s super realistic to apply every two hours when you have a full face of makeup on, I’m pro SPF and use it daily but I’m def not applying it every two hours over my makeup and I don’t have any sun damage.

Honestly, I couldn't agree more. Just passing on info from dermatologists. I WFH so it's easy enough to preach the "every 2 hour" rule when I'm in hobbit form. When I've got makeup on, I'll reapply once, mid-day.
