Dark Tanning Moustache Coloration
This has been my second time tanning this week and I got this dark moustache color above my upper lip!! Im so freaked out right now what do I do, I read about everyones "white spots" but have not heard too much of this dark coloration that looks like a moustache, I heard it was from birth control while tanning & yes I am on the pills but now how do I get rid of this? can I still tan the rest of my body and use sunscreen on my face? This is freaking me out I feel embrassed about this especially looking at myself makes me feel self conscience!! Please help me!!
