Discolouration – unwanted holiday souvenirs – how do you combat it?

The competition “discolouration – unwanted souvenirs from holidays” organised with the CzasNaZmiane.pl portal received around 2,000 responses. Thank you! This time you wrote when your problem is: discolouration and spots, pigmentation disorders and uneven skin tone, hormonal or age-related pigmentation changes. We asked if you have had success in eliminating hyperpigmentation and how? Have treatments at the beauty salon, dermatologist or home treatments helped? Or are you still struggling? We present a selection of statements.

 

My name is Ania and I am 33 years old. Hyperpigmentation first appeared on my face about 10 years ago and I have been trying to get rid of them ever since. Seasonally, during autumn and winter, I manage to hide them a bit, but with the first stronger rays of the sun, it all comes back. I would like to get rid of them once and for all. I hope I can do this with the help of the kit: Day care with brightening vitamin C.

 

I don’t know when, but darker patches appeared on my cleavage. Unfortunately, I have noticed that they have started to appear on my face too. I need to start using special creams. I haven’t started the fight against hyperpigmentation yet, but this competition has motivated me a lot. Jola 45 years old.

 

My battle with acne has been going on since …. time immemorial. I am 24 years old, and uniform and smooth skin is just a hazy memory for me…. But let’s start from the beginning: like every teenager, I went through adolescent acne. To a greater or lesser degree, everyone had it. Although mine was getting worse, my parents ignored the problem. “You’ll get over it. Everyone gets over it”. – they said. And so I persisted, losing confidence, closing myself off. From a feisty, pretty teenager I became a squeeze addict, a sad girl 🙁 This phase lasted a good few years. Having learned from my failures, when I grew up a bit, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I went to one dermatologist, another, a third and the collection of specific products on the bathroom shelf grew. Unfortunately, contrary to the space on the shelf and the state of my wallet, nothing changed on my face 🙁 I cannot count how many ointments, creams and antibiotics I tried. Everything seemed to be of no use. But, but… no story would be worth telling if it didn’t end well! 🙂 One day, resigned, while buying another dermatologist-prescribed medication, this time very strong oral antibiotics, I was accosted by the pharmacist. She asked if I had tried herbs. I looked at her with pity, having experienced my battles with the more publicised and specialist-recommended remedies. After a while, however, I thought – what the heck, I’ve tried everything and I’ll try this one too. Then came the breakthrough: the trichomonium violet herb turned out to be a miracle!!! A 100% natural remedy that no doctor had ever told me about. After a month of regularly consuming the infusions, the acne disappeared. Like a hand it went away. I was shocked. To this day, I still can’t believe that the solution was so close and that it was 100% natural. Even though the worst is over, I still sometimes get a rash of pimples and my skin is dry and irritated. However, I don’t give up and keep trying. Maybe one day I will be able to make my skin perfectly smooth again 🙂 The first step towards this was a few spring visits to the beautician 🙂 A series of treatments with mandelic acid cleansed the skin and aided regeneration. Acne has weakened a lot, blemishes, however, are a different problem. They have minimally smoothed out, however, the season for acids has passed and I have been left alone again. So I longingly await the real autumn, when I can again indulge in exfoliation and let my skin breathe. However, I have never tried creams with acids. They are new to me and I think they could work well as gentle skincare and prevention. If they could succeed in at least minimally lightening acne blemishes, I would be…. thrilled. I don’t expect miracles, I know that fighting skin problems is long and arduous – we have to hit upon a product that fits us perfectly. Perhaps Chantarelle cosmetics will prove to be such a shot in the 10? The admiration and adoration would be endless:) So I fervently hope that you will let me test them 🙂 I promise to be a conscientious cosmetic tester! 🙂

 

I am 24 years old and a woman. My problem is hyperpigmentation on my face after having acne. It is difficult to fight acne. I know because I went through it. Once there is joy at being able to get rid of those nasty pimples, and once there is sadness because the problem comes right back. Acne was a battle I fought every day. To get rid of it I used various home remedies, which were enough for a while. Now, after the acne, I have blemishes on my face that are difficult to remove. The worst is on my cheeks and on my nose. I use home remedies, which means, for example, squeezing lemon juice on cotton wool and lubricating my face with this. The method is even effective, but the results are not that good and the problem is still there. I’ve never been to a beauty salon, so I don’t know what it’s like. I’ve been to a dermatologist and all he prescribes is an ointment that doesn’t help. I would like to finally have a perfect face without imperfections, which is why I dream of winning this competition.

 

I am a woman, I am 20 years old 🙂 Acne hit the top of my enemies and disorder list a few years ago. It is still at the top of the list and even though, thanks to the help of a dermatologist, it is no longer a frequent visitor to my face or back, all the signs are that it will retain its leading position for a long time to come. This enduring bad reputation is due to the dark spots that are currently wreaking havoc on my skin. My consolation has come from a number of articles found on the internet, which have helped me to classify these ‘spots’ as ordinary hyperpigmentation that lasts on the skin for up to 18 months, rather than long-lasting and troublesome scars. However, when I think about the fact that my next year’s holiday is going to be similar to the one just ending (short-sleeved blouse? – no way, swimming in the sea? – no way, swimming in the sea?), and every change of clothes before gym class will again be a cause for embarrassment … I wish I could get rid of these blemishes sooner! So far, I haven’t yet directed my steps to beauty parlours, although I’ve heard a lot of good things about all the lasers and microdermabrasions. I decided to try cheaper home methods. My first stop was a website with natural cosmetics. There I stocked up on gentle mandelic acid, Moroccan clay and argan oil. Using the mandelic acid, I created a simple low-concentration toner and a slightly stronger scrub. On top of this, I rubbed my skin with argan oil once in a while and funded my skin with a clay mask. A thick and nourishing vitamin ointment also became my right hand. The truth is that after a month of this home therapy, I noticed some beneficial (though not entirely satisfying) changes. During the summer promotions, a signature emulsion from a well-known perfumery assuring me of its whitening properties also stood on my bathroom shelf. The effect? Rather poor. After all, I’m still struggling with acne blemishes, so I hope to emerge victorious in the end! 😉

 

Well I have been battling with skin lesions as well as pigment changes for a few years now. In the beginning it was acne lesions, but now I have added post-sun lesions. At first, I tried bleaching them with lemon juice and then with creams designed for this type of problem. I have visited many cosmetic and dermatological surgeries but to no avail. It’s a shame, because I would like to take comfort in having a beautiful complexion and not constantly worry about how I look and why I attract stares. Woman 31

 

I developed my first blemishes when I was 27. I’m fighting them but to no avail. Maybe the chantarelle creams will help me. So far I’ve been buying the usual creams for hyperpigmentation available in drugstores, but that seems to be a picnic. I have read a bit on the website about chantarelle creams and I have to say that the compositions of these creams are impressive. Female 33 years

 

Female 28 years old I have a scaly mouth, so I look in the mirror with disapproval… I’m losing strength because I don’t like the way I look. It’s because of my ugly, blotchy skin – it turns me into a horrible lizard ;( How can I live with this? What do I do? I struggled a bit but it didn’t help, so I got discouraged 🙁 “Take lemon juice!”- the girls advised, So I listened, I rubbed every day, But it didn’t work… So I went all the way And buying a beautician’s treatment for my poor face I hoped that my skin would turn at least a little white! The spots faded, but not enough for me to be a beautiful butterfly again…. The only saving grace was a good cosmetic so that I could regain my feminine glow.

 

I went to the dermatologist, the lady diagnosed me with hormonal hyperpigmentation. She wanted to put me on a hormone treatment, but I didn’t agree. I went to a clinic for aesthetic medicine, where the doctor suggested medical peels (among other things, I had a pyruvic peel, a tretein mask applied, an almond peel and other medical peels). The treatment has had an effect, in addition to which I use chantarelle creams for hyperpigmentation at home to help me maintain the results of my expensive treatments at the clinic. Female, 35 years old.

 

Hello, I have been struggling with hyperpigmentation on my face from acne for some time. I have used peels and acid treatments as well as microdermabrasion and nothing has helped. I am left with white patches on my face after sunbathing. Age: 26 Sex: female

 

I had hyperpigmentation and it was very intense for a year I went for microdermabrasion and needle mesotherapy during which preparations were injected into my skin to even out my skin tone. I won the battle, my skin is smooth and has a uniform swarthy colour. Female, 42 years old.

 

I acquired hyperpigmentation, and from what? From sunbathing, of course, and from excessive sunbathing. Sun in summer and without restraint, tanning beds in winter. My skin is dark with freckles!!! Horrible. I have been bleaching for a year now. I go to my dermatologist doctor for professional treatments and follow her advice. I take supplements and vitamins and use good creams at home. I must admit that I have not yet used the Chantrelle creams, but their composition corresponds to that recommended by my Dr., so I will definitely try these creams. Female 29 years old.

 

I am 23 years old and I think I have all the colours on my face. My struggle is to use different masks available in drugstores. But it doesn’t do anything and unfortunately I have to paint myself with concealers, fluid so that my face is ‘more or less’ one colour. I have a fairly fair complexion but I get brown quickly, especially my forehead which is dry, the same with my nose. I struggle with constant redness, it’s my bane. Anytime I touch my face it leaves a red patch there. Plus dark circles under my eyes and at times my skin is greyish and absolutely nothing like that of a young woman. I also notice wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead 🙁

 

The topic of hyperpigmentation is a river topic for me 🙂 I am currently 43 years old and have been battling with hyperpigmentation for many years, unfortunately without success so far. The discolouration is located on the sides of my cheeks. I have tried various ways from natural remedies such as lemon rubbing through various smears to laser treatment. The latter brought improvement, but small and for a short time. Since the onset of hyperpigmentation, I regularly use sunscreen in summer and winter – probably too late to start thinking about this 🙁 I do peels in spring and autumn, but my skin is rather dry so they are not very invasive. I would love to try something new, maybe a cream based on newer technologies. I’m very interested in the Bio-Hydroquinone bleaching cream for hyperpigmentation. Maybe just stopping the monogenesis process will have an effect and not just superficially removing the lesions…?

 

I work in a confectionery, specifically in baking. The temperature on the production floor is high, and when we pour the dough onto the rolls, the spirals are so hot that you can burn your respiratory tract if you take a breath. The baking spirals are ultraviolet. I don’t know if it’s some kind of allergy or burns, but my cheeks just turn blue. I look like someone beat me up. When I leave the house I put a lot of foundation and powder on my face to cover up these blemishes, at least a little. Neither medicines nor compresses nor any masks help. I have read about the cream in your offer and I am definitely willing to try it out.

 

I am a 30-year-old woman who has been struggling with hyperpigmentation on my face for several years. The most prominent spots are between my nose and cheeks on both sides of my face. I’ve also noticed that they are unfortunately much darker in the summer, then fade a little, but they are still there and still annoy me…. I think they have to do with hormones. I use a scrub every week and cucumber and lemon compresses every now and then, but the results are not satisfactory. I think some professional cosmetic would be suitable for this type of task. For now, I’m struggling and trying to gather more information – it really looks bad and I’d like to get rid of these disfiguring spots. Because unfortunately, even the best foundation and powder don’t mask these blemishes to such an extent that they are completely invisible. I am very curious about the *Chantarelle series :)*.

 

My biggest problem is acne scars, which I have been fighting for a long time, as far as I know, cosmetic treatments that have any effect are not for my pocket, unfortunately, I currently use some made cream that my grandmother bought me in a monastery at the monks, but it doesn’t work on scars, it removes pimples more. I am 26 years old and a woman.

 

I am in my 30s and have been struggling with the problem of hyperpigmentation for a long time. The hyperpigmentation in my case is mainly located on my forehead, it is mostly the remnants of acne lesions. Insufficient sun protection has made the problems worse. I used a variety of specific products from many companies, carefully reading their ingredients. Most of them provided a slight improvement, the discolouration and spots faded, but it was a barely noticeable change. I am considering an acid treatment, but encouraged by the positive reviews, I would like to try your products.

 

My problem is acne hyperpigmentation – red spots that keep me up at night. I have tried to fight them with various methods – both homemade and professional. So far, diamond microdermabrasion has proved to be the best method, but it hasn’t got rid of all the discolouration. And the price of this treatment is unfortunately quite high and I can’t afford another series. So I am looking further afield… For autumn, I intend to use an acid treatment (so that the sun doesn’t irritate my face so much anymore). Unfortunately, no home treatments, masks, brightening serums or even visits to the dermatologist have had the desired effect so far. I am a 24 year old woman and I have been struggling with hyperpigmentation for over 2 years.

 

My name is Agnieszka, I am 24 years old, I graduated from cosmetology at the Poznan University of Ms Aniela Goc, but I am not yet working in the profession. I have dealt with your cosmetics, and I think they are some of the best. Summer is coming to an end and I was looking for something to even out my skin tone, something to help get rid of summer blemishes. I visited your website and came across this competition by chance. I immediately thought of my Mum, who has been struggling with a big dark spot on her cleavage for years. As I am interested in cosmetology, I have already managed to help Mum a little, but it is like fighting windmills. Mum used pharmacy creams to lighten the discolouration, a self-made serum with kojic acid. The lactic acid worked best, but despite using UV filters, the problem returns. It would be great if I could win a skincare kit for her

 

My main problem is skin discolouration after a not long ago pregnancy, it is more of a hormonal discolouration, it occurs around my nose, cheeks, and upper lip and this discolouration bothers me the most because I look like I have a moustache. I have tried various ways to get rid of this problem but without success. one of them was to lubricate my face with lemon juice, then a coarse face scrub, a fruit-based enzyme scrub, a vitamin C cream. And all with poor results, so please feel free to use these sensational cosmetics that can restore my hope for a better appearance

 

I am a woman, I am 46 years old. I have had a problem with discolouration of my forehead skin for a few months now – in the spring I didn’t use sunscreen and the sun was harsh and I developed spots. I can’t seem to get rid of them. I use weekly enzyme scrubs, whitening masks, mechanical scrubs. On a daily basis I use foundation and powder to cover up the lesions.

 

I have unfortunately been battling with hyperpigmentation for two years now, it is extremely bothersome for me and I really have a huge problem with it. I’m a young person and sometimes I have days where I feel ashamed to walk down the street, I feel like everyone is looking at me. I have tried many things, gels, pharmacy creams, as well as home remedies: chamomile lemon. They don’t work, I’ve lost hope. I am a woman and I am 20 years old.

 

I am Kasia , a third year student. The new school year for students is approaching and my appearance is once again failing me. I struggle with terrible hyperpigmentation on my face. All creams, ointments and even dermabrasion treatments and treatments at the dermatologist have not helped all the time there is something on my face. It’s impossible to cover it up with concealer or foundation. My hyperpigmentation is so bad that I walk around with my head down because I am so ashamed. I’m 22 and I don’t know what else to use.

 

I have very problematic skin 🙂 It is combination, with blackheads in the T-zone, slightly dehydrated, with a lot of acne blemishes. In addition, active pimples and subcutaneous bumps keep appearing on my face. I know I’m partly to blame myself – I have a habit of touching and scratching my face and popping pimples when I’m upset. When I was in high school I used to go to a beautician for a series of skin cleansing treatments and cavitation peels. Unfortunately, I didn’t continue this due to the high price of such visits. Back then my skin was in a much better state than it is now, but I think this was mainly due to a different lifestyle and a better diet. I try to fight both my habits and the current changes on my skin. I’ve used various special creams, prescription and non-prescription, but with prolonged use it didn’t give good enough results. Nowadays, I have been alternating between salicylic acid clay masks and a liquid (…) prescribed by a dermatologist. For the daytime, I try to use creams with a high SPF50 sunscreen. I am a woman, 24 years old.

 

Since 3 months, that is, when the sun started to warm up, a dark spot has appeared on my upper lip, which is my bane. The gynaecologist said there is nothing he can do about it… because it is probably sun tanning… I would like to mention that I have a problem with a woman’s moustache, which also appeared when I got pregnant… I have never had this type of problem and it bothers and embarrasses me terribly…. I do what I can to make it as inconspicuous as possible, Whenever I go outside I use a 50+ sunscreen…but nothing seems to help. It is very embarrassing…most in front of my husband…he doesn’t actually say anything that I have something above my lips, maybe he doesn’t notice or maybe he just doesn’t want to make me uncomfortable…. I’m using home remedies so far, which means using brightening masks with turmeric and lemon, and rubbing coconut oil on at night because I’ve read that it helps to lighten the skin. I’m considering going to a beautician, but at the moment I can’t afford it, so I have to manage on my own. Although I have read that not many beauticians are able to help…I would love to win this kit from you as it is currently my hope. I am still fighting and will continue to fight…because I don’t want to feel bad, I want to finally go out to people and wonder if they can see “that thing” above my upper lip…I was offered by a friend to visit a certain salon that removes superfluous hair and by the way facial spots…but unfortunately I can’t afford it. Although I would really do anything to eradicate it. I am asking for this wonderful kit, I want to try it out, maybe it will help me fight this unpleasant issue.

 

I am 28 years old. I am a light, natural blonde and have a fair complexion. Until a few years ago, I had no idea what a threat the sun’s rays were to my skin. I tanned for several hours a day in the summer and went to the tanning bed in the cold. Of course, I didn’t use sunscreen because I thought I wouldn’t tan as much with it…. I wised up (better late than never). I stopped sunbathing at peak hours, I use high factor creams all year round and I don’t visit tanning beds anymore. Unfortunately, I am left with terrible hyperpigmentation and freckles after all these years. I cannot cope with them. In autumn and winter I use creams with acids. It is better, but still my skin is not beautifully smooth…. My biggest dream is to get rid of unsightly blemishes to the point where I don’t have to use foundation. I would like my complexion to have a beautiful, even tone. I would finally like to feel comfortable in my own skin….

 

I have long struggled with the problem of spots popping up from being out in the sun for long periods of time. During a visit to the dermatologist, I was told to apply high-filter creams and foundations before leaving the house every time. However, when staying on the beach all day the problem occurs.

 

Although I am a woman of 30+ and no longer have acne, unfortunately my big problem is acne blemishes. In particular, this problem occurs on my lower cheek area. These are reddish-brown scars that look extremely unsightly. I have to apply special camouflage creams to these areas every day, as normal foundation does not mask the discolouration. I would really like to get rid of these discolourations so that I can only use the now fashionable BB creams for daytime. I feel bad about using strong foundations and opaque concealers, I find that with me they show up a lot. Meanwhile, I really appreciate naturalness in my make-up. As I mentioned, I’m a woman of 30+ and I’m also already seeing signs of skin ageing. My complexion has turned grey, sallow, the area on my forehead is getting flabby and fine lines are appearing. Leaving aside the acne blemishes, I am already noticing that the tone across my face has become very uneven. I would be very interested in brightening it overall, giving it a radiant, rested look and vitality.

 

The main problem with my facial skin is hyperpigmentation, which is extremely slow to fade (slow enough for new ones to appear). I mainly use a home treatment, which is quite drying to the skin, but for a few years it helped. Unfortunately, as I’ve got older, the effectiveness of my method has become less and less effective. Male, 22 years

 

Eliminate hyperpigmentation is my dream. But I only know how to inhibit new formation…. In summer, I lubricate my face with a high sunscreen. Apart from that, any action has little effect! I have tried acids and various creams. Nothing has helped, it is ….(insert ugly epithet) I am a mature woman, I am over forty. I don’t like my hyperpigmentation and would love to get rid of it 🙁

 

Female, 41 years old. I have hyperpigmentation after a glycolic acid burn. Whatever I used only made them worse. I have read that vitamin C cream can help. That is why I want to try it. I see that C’Modular Age also stimulates collagen synthesis, which is also useful at my age.

 

At the beginning of an exceptionally warm spring, I became pregnant. Because I felt great, I was full of joy and optimism – I enthusiastically enjoyed first the shy spring and then the summer sunshine. I was rather careless about protecting my face from discolouration. I wanted to ‘catch up’ on vitamin D and enjoy the weather. Despite my good mood, the hormones in me were going crazy. It didn’t take long to see the result, as a brown stripe appeared under my nose, making me look like a moustachioed Spaniard 🙁 I used lemon juice, scrubs, but nothing worked. Winter came, I gave birth to my longed-for son, and the discolouration seemed to disappear, faded…. Until the following spring! I always remembered to protect my child’s skin from the sun, but I didn’t take care of my own anymore. I thought that, “free” from pregnancy hormones, I wouldn’t have that painted moustache anymore. However, with each sunny day, the discolouration above my upper lip intensified. This year I wanted to be smarter and used a sunscreen with 50+ sunscreen. However, my skin sweats the most just under my nose and the cream ran off during the hot weather. I’m waiting longingly for autumn because then I want to try out the acids at the beauty parlour and microdermabrasion. Will it help? We’ll see! 33 years old.

 

Female, 25 years old. My problem is hyperpigmentation, which I can no longer fight. I have tried many specialist cosmetics, including pharmacy products recommended by a dermatologist, but I have not had the desired effect.

 

My problem is acne hyperpigmentation – on my face and minor discolouration after sunbathing – on my legs. The ones on my face are the biggest problem, because even though I don’t have acne anymore, it’s perfectly clear that it used to be my bane. The spots, which are a little darker in colour than the skin on my face, disfigure and take away my confidence. I have tried various methods to get rid of them, but nothing has worked. Special tonics, “home remedy” concoctions, coffee peels and enzyme peeling at the beautician’s have lightened the blemishes slightly, but I haven’t got rid of them completely. I’m not going to give up, which is why I’m entering the competition. Maybe Chantarelle will be the dream panacea for my spots 🙂

 

I’ve never had typical acne all over my face just always some isolated pimples / blemishes and when one disappeared another would appear in a moment. Most of the pimples always disappeared without a problem, but there came a point when on one cheek I started to get larger pimples that were subcutaneous, which didn’t come out as a white dot, but burst under the skin making a blue, purple patch on my cheek. These pimples would come out in one area of my cheek in such a circle, when one became blue another would come out, perhaps I had a blood cold and that is why they formed, because for a long time I could not stop them forming until I reached for an antibiotic ointment. I never went to a specialist about it, I’m just the type of person who prefers to deal with it myself. Eventually, thanks to the ointment, they stopped coming out, but they left behind ugly patches. I used a lot of creams for this, but the body oil for scars and stretch marks did the best job, which made the spots lighten, and the aloe vera gel finished things off, thanks to its regular use the spots disappeared and even any small or large pimples stopped appearing, which is why I can’t give it up anymore and try to use it at least once a day.

 

About the years-long battle with acne, my skin has an uneven skin tone and numerous acne blemishes. Although I have tried various treatments, unfortunately I have not been able to restore an even skin tone. I have tried home remedies such as lemon and cucumber masks, parsley infusions, enzyme scrubs and whitening creams, and I have enriched my diet with vitamin Ci and beta-carotene, which strengthen the immune system, reduce susceptibility to hyperpigmentation and lighten those that have already appeared. Unfortunately, despite the systematic approach and the effort put in, this did not achieve much…. Female, 29

 

It is often said that freckles add to beauty and I am of a different opinion. I am a woman and I am 39 years old. When I was a little girl I went with my mother to an outdoor swimming pool. It was wonderful, of course, but a whole day outdoors, the sun and the water did their job especially as I was supposedly reluctant to use sunscreen. A hard crust initially appeared on my nose and when the parched skin came off freckles appeared. In time, not only was my nose freckled, but my whole face was dotted with freckles. Over the years I have tried to get rid of the freckles, but unfortunately they love me so much that they do not part with me. In summer there are more of them and in winter a little less. Even powder doesn’t help to camouflage them. At the beauty salon I underwent mild acids, which unfortunately didn’t remove my freckles completely, although they did gently lighten and clear my complexion, making my facial skin appear smoother, brighter. I have tried microdermabrasion and whitening creams that I bought from the pharmacy for night and day for hyperpigmentation and used them regularly at home, but the freckles are still there. I avoid sunbathing on my face and use creams with a lot of sunscreen on my face, but something tells me I’m doomed to have freckles for the rest of my life because there’s no fixing them.

 

My problems with hyperpigmentation started a long time ago – as a teenager I tanned quite often. This fondness, years later, resulted in unsightly spots on my face. I used natural methods – masks, herbal decoctions. It helped, but only for a short time. In addition, with acne problems, visible darker spots appeared on my face – mainly near my lips, where the acne was greatest. A few years ago I discovered microdermabrasion. I used it with a beautician and then at home. My skin actually improved. Unfortunately, the hyperpigmentation has never completely gone away again. I try to mask them with make-up, but my dream is to have a nice complexion with an even shade. I am 37 years old and would like to look at my natural face without shame.

 

I have on my face a slight sort of flicker of darker colour, on my cheekbone. On my right thigh a rather large irregular white spot, a little smaller on my calf. When I was younger, I used to feel ashamed to walk around in shorts because of this stain on my thigh, but I got over it quite quickly because I decided there was nothing to be oppressed about if I wasn’t going to get rid of it anyway. I just needed to get used to the discolouration. This is what I did. I didn’t use any treatments, either at the salon or at home. I rather not think about it, although of course it would be better without….

 

I am a 50-year-old woman. Since I entered my menopausal period, a few years ago, I have developed pigmentary hyperpigmentation. I did not consult a dermatologist or a beautician, because I assumed that these changes were hormonal or sun spots. On my own, I searched for cosmetics that would eliminate hyperpigmentation and used various creams without any visible effect. I also use a cucumber mask once a week, as I have read that it lightens discolouration, but with little effect. I came across this competition by chance and found out about a range of cosmetics that are very likely to be right for me. I would be very happy to win and test them, maybe they will be permanently installed on my bathroom shelf and will solve my problem.

 

I am 47 years old and for the last few summers I have been getting white spots on my skin that don’t tan. They are on my cleavage, legs and arms. And every year more and more of them L I try to use better filters. It doesn’t do anything. I think it’s time to stop tanning….

 

I did some microdermabrasion treatments in the spring. I additionally improved with an almond peel and I think I went out in the sun too soon. I developed horrible hyperpigmentation this year and I never had any. I am now after my third almond peel and the discolouration is practically gone. “A wise Pole after the event.”

 

I get discolouration around my lips. On a daily basis in summer, sunscreen lipstick helps, but on holiday I have to lubricate my lips and around them with 50, otherwise the discolouration is bricked.

 

The first thing I do after waking up is make-up. I make up because I don’t want anyone to look at my face full of spots, blemishes and age-related changes and the hormonal medication I’ve been taking for 19 years. I know that a natural woman, without make-up, is also beautiful, because what is most beautiful – is born inside each of us. However, I need make-up – however subtle – to cover up the imperfections of my beauty. As long as I was healthy – I had a beautiful complexion. However, when I started to get ill, my outward appearance also became “sick”. Spots appeared on my face – like during pregnancy – discolouration and finally, as a result of taking strong immunosuppressive drugs after a kidney transplant – skin cancer appeared. It was located on the nose. It was removed several times. Now I have peace of mind, but I have to be very careful, avoid the sun and take exceptional care of my skin. I tried to fight the discolouration naturally – I washed it with the juice of cress, which removes discolouration. Unfortunately, the treatment took a very long time and the effect was minimal. I didn’t try any treatments at the beautician because the very first appointment ended after a minute when I was told about basocellulare skin cancer. (…) I am still struggling with spots, with hyperpigmentation – (…). However, I am afraid that this unequal battle, which has been going on for 19 years now, is a battle with windmills. Maybe you just have to love the hyperpigmentation, get used to living with the spots and enjoy life, even though time is passing. 🙂 woman, age – 51.

 

I struggle with hyperpigmentation after pregnancy. I didn’t listen to anyone and tanned in the summer while pregnant. Not much, but I always tried to sit in the sun a bit for the vitamin D3. Horrible spots appeared on my face – white. The dermatologist prescribed me some ointments, but they were not effective. I enrolled in a professional aesthetic medicine clinic, where Chantarelle cosmetics, among others, are used. Treatment with professional Chantarelle cosmetics really has an effect. My skin tone evens out with each treatment. On top of that, I use C’Modular cream at home and my skin is back in shape. Female, 33 years old

 

I have been struggling with post-sun discolouration and the effects of poor quality foundations for several years. They have left noticeable darker areas on my face, especially on the sides of my face. I have tried some of the preparations suitable for this type of problem, but they have only brought minor improvements. I have also used natural whitening remedies such as lemon juice and a cucumber mask. Ultimately, I think what really helped me was an enzyme-mechanical scrub, used regularly every 2-3 days. Once the outer layer of the epidermis is exfoliated, the blemishes are no longer as visible. Apparently, they don’t go too deep in the dermis. I think a suitable brightening cream would help to remove them completely. The discolourations are not visible, under a well-chosen foundation, so I have not yet decided on professional treatments. I am a woman, aged 51.

 

I got my skin done at a tanning salon. I used to go very often and now you’ve got a woman’s pancake. I have white spots on my back and face. I buy some cosmetics for hyperpigmentation, but I can’t afford a professional treatment. Female, 22 years old.
