Permanant redness on nose due to sun damage

by Corinna
(Australia)

Hi, I have permanant redness on my nose and also some on my cheeks due to lots of sun damage as a child. I wasn't too great at wearing sunscreen. I've had people refer to me as Rudolf the red nosed reindeer, although only joking it still makes me feel uncomfortable.

I don't like to leave the house without makeup covering the redness, but ideally I would love to wear less makeup. Do you have any suggestions of how to lighten the problem red areas and blend it into my normal skin tone.

I have medium toned skin with quite a lot of freckles on my face and body but they don't bother me too much. I also have a few dark moles with hair in them scattered on my face and neck, in case that makes any difference for lightening recomendations.

Regards,
Corinna

Answer:

Hi Corinna, redness is something skin whiteners cannot promise to remove, because these products can only address darkened skin. Redness may still be a sign of irritated and sore skin.

Nevertheless, if you feel fine trying our skin whitening products, don't be afraid to do so. With dryness being one of the side effects of skin whitening, the redness can be possibly taken care of.

As a suggestion, a good starter is Diana Stalder DS Papaya Kojic Soap. Use as a daily facial lightening soap or wash once daily, best at bedtime. More details will be provided in the catalogue with the order.

All the best,
Maria
