The story of how one woman got a sunburn and forever scarred her face with melasma. Find out what she did to treat the darkness, and how you can prevent it from happening to yourself.
In some ways, my skin never stood a chance. I went to high school on the Jersey Shore in the early '00s—i.e. the height of the tanning craze, when every blonde celebrity had the pallor of fruit leather, and my friends were hitting the tanning beds multiple times a week.But I didn't want to wind up wrinkled before I was 25—or you know, a statistic . So I stocked my bathroom with sunscreen, and diligently hid under an umbrella at the beach. I was, by most accounts, the model of sun safety.
Not particularly remarkable—just enough to make me feel hot and itchy. I took the usual steps: applying cooling aloe vera gel and extra moisturizer, and sitting on my hands to keep from picking. But the burn didn't go away. After a few weeks, it morphed from red to brown—a mottled shade that required me to coat my face in foundation in an attempt at even skin tone. That was was five years ago.If I'm not wearing makeup, and sometimes even when I am, people comment on my"tan," asking,"Did you just get back from vacation?" No. No, I did not. And I have this frustrating, permanent"mask" to show for it.
