I had one a couple months ago and I had a little sun damage...I removed it with a 2 IPL photofacials and a peel...my sister bought me a years membership to a med spa. lol....
I wear spf on my face everyday though...even in the winter.
I'm touch and go about spf...I try to be good about it but I falter. But I don't fake bake, I don't smoke, I don't drink much and I have good genetics. I've also been using corrective aging products since I was 25 as a preventative measure.
