Text Color: Font: Close Marks

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for the suggestions!

To the PP who asked, her skin is clear but she has dark marks and feels conscious about it. She said she likes the light makeup look which gives a natural look and gives a sheen. I guess that's where the tint comes in?

What products does she need to get for that natural look that also hides these marks. She is dark skinned.

She watched a lot of tik toks and is trying out all kinds of home made stuff and can I say the bathroom is a mess - fresh aloe vera paste, ground rice with water, papaya paste and the like.

I guess she is really conscious of those marks (not birth marks, acne scars - acne gone but scars remain) and just wants them gone or hidden.

Hydroquinone, but not without risks. I'd take her to a dermatologist immediately if you haven't already. I started at 10 myself. I am white as a lily but my dark skinned friends with whom I discuss skincare love Yolanda Holmes as a dermatologist who is particularly good with darker skin tones (premature, but things like lasers and peels can be trickier here). I had acne and the marks are the worst and hard to get rid of. If she is already seeing a dermatologist one of the key factors of treating acne more aggressively is if it is leaving marks. A constant 10 pimples that fade might be traumatic in the moment, but a constant 4 that leave divots and scarring is different and treatment should accommodate accordingly. So she might need to change rx or she might need some treatments.[/quote]
