Also, dumb question but you're removing before bed, right?

Yes, I always wash my face before I go to sleep.

I actually take a full shower.

You're using the BB cream to cover up redness, right?

Really, you should try that product from Paula's Choice that I recommended in your last thread. If you hate it, you can send it back.

You can also chat online with a consultant and they will recommend products for you.

PC is the best.

ETA: Here's the link again. You can even order samples if you don't want to order the full size.

No. I need something to put all over my face to cover age spots (in addition to the redness on my nose).

I just don't want to look 50 anymore.

Like those brownish spots? They have a product for that, too.

It makes more sense, to me, to try to treat the skin issues than cover them up. Especially since you don't normally wear make up.

I am old-ish (40) and am starting to get some darker spots. I also don't like thicker foundations because they settle in my little wrinkles and make those stand out. And thicker stuff makes me break out. My dad has has numerous chunks of skin on his face removed because of skin cancer, so I refuse to use a foundation that doesn't have SPF in it. I found this one by Benefit and really like it www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/big-easy

It goes on light and you can layer it if you want more coverage.

Lately, I am liking Koh Gen Do foundation -- you can get it from Sephora so it is easily returned, and was developed by a Japanese woman so it has a decent shot of being good for Asians. I find the coverage very natural.

But I agree that you should emphasize treating the problem over just covering it up. I really like Nadinola cream for age spots. It is less than $10 at drugstore.com. Also, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, etc. to the extent you can...
