I am 48, fair skin with moderate melsma. I also use a CPAP for severe obstructive sleep apnea, using a full face mask. (Simplus FFM if anyone wants to know). It has a T plastic piece on the forehead and straps on the cheeks. I could switch to the nasal mask for a few days (same idea but smaller), and I cannot tolerate the nasal cushions (I think those would be the best in this case). Could I slather aquaphor and use gauze under the straps to be able to do a chemical peel?
