I have a customer who says that when she tans whether it's inside or outside, she gets brown spots under her eyes, on her cheeks and chin. Does anyone know what may be causing this? Is there a lotion that will help this? It seems to be the opposite of sun spots.
Thanks,
TAK

Possibly pigment patches caused by hormones. Is she on the pill? If so, sun block stick on those areas only will help.

Sounds like the mask that alot of women get after having babies.
She may need to use a SPF on face when tanning this will help with that.
I have had several clients that have it. They just have to use a SPF when tanning, and the marks are not the noticeble. There is a name it too.

It's called melasma.
