Day 8

I went out in the day to run an errand.
When I caught a glimpse of
My face outside I was mortified.
Redness, chunks of skin peeling on my upper lip. My skin looked so uneven and my dark spots felt darker.
I had to remind myself that I've never gone a day without coverup in the last 2 years so what I was looking at... the unevenness was just my face without makeup.

I had plans with friends tonight
I wanted to cancel because when i got home, around my mouth was so red and still peeling- so I took a hot shower and used my hands to gently rub my face.
It worked... redness and flaming was gone. I skipped the cosmelan 2, put on layers and layers of hydra k and then some bare minerals (loose powder).
I couldn't believe how just a sweep of powder gave me an even complexion! I'm so used to the usual concealer, foundation, powder, bronzer and a setting spray.
I definitely noticed the difference that the cosmelan had made!
When I got home I washed my face and applied cosmelan 2. It hurt SO bad. More than usual.
The stinging lasted around 15min.
Anyways off to bed, look forward to seeing more results tomorrow! SHOW LESS

Day 3-6

My face started peeling! It started around my cheeks, then my forehead, nose and lastly around my mouth. The peeling wasn't as aggressive as I expected, but more of a light 'flaking off' of my old
Skin.
Cosmelan 2 is EXTREMELY PAINFUL to apply! But it hurts so good.
The pain lasts for around 2-5 minutes. I apply cosmelan 2 -and then lay in bed and practice deep breathing until it calms down. After about 30min I'll apply the hydra-k. Some days my scars look lighter other days they look darker. But overall I do see lightening in my face and my skin does have a more uniform complexion.
When I step outside I notice my skin gets dry so so quickly and my lips... well I'm reapplying Vaseline or blister every 20min.
The corner of my mouth is cracked horribly I feel like Joker (literally). I Lather on the Vaseline, I tried polysporin,
But as soon as I open my mouth
To brush, eat, or do normal human stuff the corners just crack again.
I read in someone's review that there's a creme for mouth sores and that
Helps the healing so I'll pick that up today!

Advice for newbies: COSMELAN 2 burns so bad but stick to it!!

Fourth time doing cosmelan. Originally completed...

Fourth time doing cosmelan. Originally completed cause Malon one mask in 2007. I had fantastic results. Did the mask again in 2009 and had the great same results. Completed another mask in 2014… Results were fantastic but didn't last more than eight months. Probably because I didn't keep up with home maintenance as I should have.
Planning to follow instructions to a T this time… And hope to maintain longer results
