Hi, Does anyone else have a "dirty looking face".My face is now covered in brown marks it is very noticable across the bridge of my nose & on my cheeks but I do have blothes around my mouth too. It looks awful,it looks like I havnt had a wash for weeks :oops:

I am using a high factor sun cream & Im just wondering how many others have this too.

Thanks
tjc

    Hi TJC,

    With you there... lovely isn't it?! Mine could be age or could be tablets but its also my neck and I hate it....... I love the sun and even if I didn't I am out in it a lot.... I am lucky cus I do seem to still catch it so soon it will be merged into the sunburn.... or so I hope!

    Sending a ((((( ))))) and hope someone answers who has a cure...... Cris x

    I have to be careful what colour tops I wear, as some make my skin colour look worse.

    I've got it on my neck .... looks like I've got a tide mark. Pregnancy mask!!!!! Heavans, don't tell my husband - he'll have a heart attack ... we're pensioners!

    Don't like it at all. Think I'll get a teeshirt printed ... 'yes, I have had a wash. This is a skin condition 'cos of .......' I'll fill in the details when we determine exactly what it is.

    Hi

    I get this too. Two great big dirty streaks down my cheeks. I have had people, after I've been on me jols, say to me I've smudged something on my face. It looks even worse in flourescent lighting!

    I have just been to mexico and tried a new cream design to reduce the darkness of the blemishes but also has a factor 20 sunblock in it. I have to say, me skintone even after the sun (factor50 for then) does look much better. Was a tad sceptical.

    I don't know if we are allowed to say what it is...will have to toddle off and check the rules.
