Recommendations for sun damage!

Hi Pickies, I need your help! So I spent the past year completely indoors and mostly unexposed to the sun (thanks pandemic😬). However, since I came back to my home country (very hot climate), I’ve been getting more sun damage despite applying as much sunscreen as possible. I’m a POC, and I wear masks out everytime so the damage is visible on my forehead and eye areas. What products would you recommend to fade these pigmentation? Most products I have are mainly for hyperpigmentation and dark spots, but they haven’t really worked for it. I have some other creams on the way but I’d like more recommendations ✨

Sun damage takes a while to heal, so I would suggest continue to wear sunscreen...(I was told to even wear sunscreen indoors if you sit near a window, as UVA still comes through). Use vitamin C in the morning and vitamin A in the evening, and continue to use hyperpigmentation serums (I like this one below). Hope it helps ❤️

I would recommend using products that have calming effect like centella and don't ever forget spf and Ofcourse reapplying every 2 hours!~ btw they say putting a cold compress can calm down sun damage too these are the products that I recommend you~

yes, I enjoy quite some products with CICA in it but it just feels so weird that I keep applying sunscreens but still get sun damage🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ll try the cold compress too, thank you!✨
