Re: sun to face pigment issues

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I have a friend who has that same condition. Her youngest child is 4 and

her skin has not returned to normal since last being pregnant. Doctors

have told her she could have a chemical peel and then avoid the sun as a

prescription to get rid of it. I'm very glad my friend chose not to go that

route, for her health's sake. I think doctors call this condition melasma

or chloasma. I'm assuming Bee will say it's related to toxins, but I too am

very curious now to hear her answer.

Thanks,

Marti

+++Hi ,

Yes, darkening of the skin is because your body is getting rid of toxins. It is

possible it will heal completely on this program, just like scaring, moles and

aging spots on people have disappeared.

Of course the timing cannot be predicted due to many factors. In fact 2 moles

around my navel just fell off last week, and an aging spot on my upper arm is

flaking like it is going to finish healing too.

All the best, Bee

Hi ,

I believe those spots will eventually go away and are, as Bee says, toxins

coming from through the skin.

I had a brown spot on my forehead that developed when I was pregnant. When I

first started on Bee's diet, it went away. The following summer, I got more

dark spots on my forehead as you descrive, all along my hairline (which is

exposed to the sun) but funnily enough, the spot that had originally disappeared

did not become brown again.

I'm interested to see if those new spots will reappear again this summer. They

have faded over the winter. I believe it's the vitamin D and the pigmentation

process that somehow helps the skin to detoxify.
