See, when I was a teen I wanted freckles so, since people with freckles seemed to get more of them from sun exposure I figured I could get my very own by simply sunburning my face. Please don't remove my blog from your "Favorites" list...I promise I am SO very much wiser now! Anywho, those of you who know me know I DO NOT have freckles. I have what I refer to as linebacker stripes and large swaths, as opposed to spots, of discoloration.
Forever, there wasn't much I could do about hiding my attempt at acquiring freckles. Sure, heavy makeup was still pretty popular in the 90s but I always felt gross and overdone. Slathering SPF 50 in the summer was my only defense (still is, Dad, I promise) against these patches of discoloration becoming darker until Sephora entered my life. I was then introduced to dozens of skin lighteners that cost a mere arm and a leg or more. Oh yeah, on the few occasions I did hand over that arm and leg the product didn't even work!
Thank goodness my mother-in-law (and guest blogger of The Product Muse) told me about Paula's Choice! This Paula lady is all about debunking product and cosmetic claims. My thing about her is that she has her own line. I'm not saying it isn't great, I don't know anything about any of it except the Remarkable Skin Lightening Lotion, which IS great, I'm just saying I think people need to try things for themselves or also consider the advice of others who are not turning a profit as a result of their advise. But I digress.
The point is, for $18 (currently $15.96) you too can fade your spots! Yes, I said FADE. If you want them gone you'll have to talk to someone else about that because I'm not planning on having my face lasered or whatever. Faded to the point where a little tinted moisturizer is all I need to conceal my botched freckles is good enough for me :o)!
