I found this on line: There are several reasons why I donâÂÂt think using hydroquinone is a good idea: It whitens skin by killing��"yes, KILLING��"your skinâÂÂs pigment cells. I donâÂÂt know about you, but I donâÂÂt really want to intentionally off my own cells. It can cause irritation and contact dermatitis. It degenerates collagen and elastin fibres (which, uh, weâÂÂre supposed to be *strengthening* to keep ourselves looking young and fresh). In darker-skinned individuals, it may cause ochronisis, which is a skin disorder characterized by âÂÂprogressive sooty darkening.â Right. ItâÂÂs known to cause DNA damage and mutations. Most scary of all, itâÂÂs linked to cancers in humans such as leukemia. Now, all of these things are associated with large doses over extended periods of time, which is why youâÂÂre not supposed to use products with hydroquinone any longer than six months. Probably youâÂÂll be okay if youâÂÂre using only a 2 percent formula for a few weeks at a time. http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/10/27/why-hydroquinone-is-bad-for-you-albeit-effective-and-the-whiteningbrightening-line-i-recommend-instead/

I've been having the laser/chemical peel done on my hands, with very good results. I'm a member of Groupon, so I'm able to get them done very reasonably...$50 for both hands. I've had two sessions, and one or two more should get the job done. The brown spots were very noticeable prior to treatment. I also use Obagi Clear Skin Bleaching & Corrector Cream in between treatments, but it alone didn't work as effectively.

Outside, I have both a a tinted moisturizer (Neutrogena) and a tinted sunscreen that I love (Elta). I put them on every morning, but realistically, they should be reapplied during the day if I'm going to be in the sun, so I'll just need to remember. While I won't be lying on the beach, I will be outside much of each day. Going on a week of college tours with my oldest! And I've never ever been a hat person, sadly. I wish I was but I'm terribly self-conscious about wearing a hat, so the only time I do is when I'm actually at the beach or pool. Boop, I'lm not sure which procedure your question is directed to, but I'm assuming you mean the Photofacial? I looked it up as I've never heard of it, and saw a video that a woman posted showing how she looked before, immediately after and then the following day. Her face was red and splotchy the first day, but she looked normal the next day. As for the laser treatment I had for my one spot, I didn't look like a freak. In fact, I thought it would be worse based on how the dermatologist described it. She said it would turn purpleish and look like a bruise b/f becoming flaky eventually and then fall off. Mine never changed color - it was slightly red around the edges, but the spot stayed brown. Then all of a sudden it was dry/flaky, and just came right off yesterday. Mine was about the size of the eraser on top of a pencil and right smack dab in the middle of my cheek, so very noticeable. I was worried i'd need to cover it up in the days afterward, but I didn't need to.
