dark spots

ultimatetan · 05-02-2003, 12:43 AM

I have a lady customer that used a hair removal creme on her face to get rid of the peach fuzz on her face and ended up with a rash that left brown spots as it healed. She is asking me what she should do now to get rid of the brown spots. I knew if anyone knew what she could do I could find out here. She is tanning pretty frequent and her face is getting darker but so are the brown spots. She said she now knows she shouldn't have used it on her face and won't ever again but is upset with how bad her face looks. Any help for her will be appreciated.

There are bleaching creams, but I suggest she goes to a skin care specialist to get their opinion on this.

Is she absolutely positive the hair removal treatment did this?

Tell her to stop tanning her face for a while...
She can even out her color with a bronzing pwder..
Check out Caltans face bronzing powder for her to use...
She left the solution on too long or didnt patch test herself first for sensitivity.......
(I never could figure WHY people do this stuff at home on themselves!!)
Suggest she sees a doctor or paramedical aesthetician for as Mitzi said a bleaching cream...

Be sure to tell her to STOP TANNING HER FACE until she gets this reversed.

I will tell her what you advised. I will also suggest she see a specialist to help her with a bleaching creme. Thanks again Christine
