....NOT. This sucks. For some reason for the most part my lightening has always been even. I never have to deal with patches of light and dark here and there. But this STUPID soap peeled off some of my skin like around my cheek bones and the outter edges of my face. It is SO embarrassing. I'm like this pretty light golden bronze town in the lighter patches and then these darker golden bronze tones, and they just look dingy and dull because I can tell they are gonna peel off in a week or so. I do NOT want to deal with this while I'm in school. I couldn't bring myself to leave my room this morning. Not going to class. I know. I'm super self conscious. But I REFUSE to leave my room unless I look perfect (in my eyes anyway).

Have you tried covering with makeup for now? I think sticking to one product line at a time is best, or the skin gets irritated...it seems like you're using a lot of different things?

I tried make up. But like. The light patches are SO LIGHT which is great. But. I wish it was light all over. LoL. Instead of just in patches! And yeah I was trying a lot of things at once. Not smart.

wow i know how u feel. my face has been peeling like crazy and its embarassing.. try using a vitamin e moisturizer to help with the peeling. i use a vitamine, vitamin c and alpha hydroxy all in one moisturizer. it works great to stop the dryness.

Yeah, I have the dalmation stage too and it's scary looking :o, but slowly evening out. I should have thought of the vitamin E earlier, but around afternoon time I just used a bit of the christaline when my face gets very dry or when I go out so it won't look too crazy..although I was worried about the perfume ingredients, but it doesn't irritate it more which is fine.

i don't know. b/c some of the lighter areas are small and some are quite large. it seems like too much concentration for me to try blending it in, as I don't like to wear foundation unless its a very special occasion. I'll just wait it out.

Add me to the list of dalmatian faces. I absolutely HAVE to use concealer and foundation at this stage, because I can never call which part of my face or neck will peel next. If I dont it looks super crazy and super obvious that I am using something. The sides of my face are blending in with the rest of my face, but it is like half a shade lighter in some areas, and I dont want to use product on the rest of my face until I can get the area under my chin and my neck to lighten, so I am practicing patience at this point.
