Definitely would recommend a dermatologist as all skin types are different. Otherwise, you may end up with a product graveyard.

Azealic acid
Niacinamide supplements
Tretinoin
(All from dermatologist)

Dermablend for foundation - the leg and body is actually my favorite for my face. It goes on much smoother. I’ve been using for over 10 years. And you get 3.4 ounces for the same price.

Hydroquinone (obagi clear is great), a good vitamin c serum, and I’ve had good results with VI peel series. And most importantly, hats and sunscreen!

Maybe look into seeing a dermatologist for a consultation for laser or some type of facial treatment for hyperpigmentation. I’m not sure what your skin looks like. But, there are a lot of makeup and skin care bran that can help. Cover FX makeup and Vichy derma blend for foundation. For skin care you can try Laroche Posey. hope that helps 😊

Ladies, how do you take care of yourself when you fly? Specifically as it relates to skin care and bloating. My body is super temperamental so when I travel anywhere, my face breaks out like crazy, including painful cysts. My whole body swells up with about 10lbs of bloat. As a result, I just feel miserable the whole time and when I get home. I drink water but is there anything I can do to prevent these things?
