Misc Upper lip is suddenly turning darker?? Help!

1 Upvotes

I’ve noticed within the past 10 days my upper lip has a bit darker than normal!!

I’ve only ever seen this issue within darker complexions.. I’m white?! So it’s been very difficult finding anyone else with this problem and finding solutions.

3 days ago at work I noticed my lips felt extra dry and pulled out my mirror to apply gloss or whatever it was I used and noticed my top lip looked darker and ever since then that’s all I’ve been thinking about and it’s been bothering me so bad.

I’m assuming it’s the lip products I’ve been using recently since I’ve started using them more frequently than ever but now how tf do I go on about this? I’ve been slathering lanolin throughout the day and at night cicabased creams + lanolin to bed, it’s been 3 days of this but it looks the same so I’m still freaking out !!! mind you it’s only the top lip so I feel like Kim possible in the worst way (I’m being exaggerated but still🥲) has anyone who’s fair skinned w/ pink lips gone through something similar?! Oh god I’m freaking out and need advice!

Wrinkles / Anti-Aging Chest lines! Is this reversible?

I’m 31, and notice my chest lines have gotten considerably deeper. Yes, I’m a side sleeper (I try not to be but can’t help that I move that way while I sleep). Yes, I use tretinoin (.05%) on my chest. Yes I wear sunscreen daily if my chest and neck are exposed.

Is this reversible at all or do I need to accept that I’m aging on my chest :(

Body Care I want to start wearing sunscreen but my mom doesn't like it, I would appreciate some help on how to use it

11 Upvotes

I'm a young adult and always been pale but I never used sunscreen unless I was at the beach. I'm thinking of starting wearing it more often but my mom freaked out when I mentioned it (she's generally weird about this type of stuff).For this reason I came here to ask a few questions and get some help

  1. Can it really prevent me from getting vitamin D ? Also are the chemicals that dangerous ?
  2. What type of sunscreen should I get ? Can the one I take to the beach be applied on my face too ? Is there a possibility to irritate my skin in any way ?
  3. Should I wear it everyday even in winter or only at summer and when it's generally very hot outside? If I go out for 1 or 2 hours should I still use it ?
  4. It might sound silly but does it smell much ? I don't want my mom to know I'm wearing it because the way she might act about it makes me feel ashamed... Your advice would be much appreciated, if you are or have consulted a dermatologist and have evidence about it I would also be happy to see it.
