Asked By:AsianRhynoplasty in San Antonio, Texas

Hello! I’m 35 and I believe to have developed melasma damaged skin sun spots on my cheeks and upper lip where I had a breakout. It looks like dirt on my face that’s I can barely cover up with makes up. I’ve been using a few over the counter facial products to regenerate new skin however it’s a slow process and very embarrassing to have these. I also have developed really darn bruised looking skin around my eyes. Is that because I lightly rub them in the morning? My complexing has tanked horribly
