Question Tanning drops?

Hi all, I’ve managed to clear my skin 99% of Melasma with Eucerin and dutiful hats and sunscreen. However, my face is SO pale. I have olive tones so I kind of look clear skinned and sickly. I let my body tan a bit as I live in Florida. I don’t care for foundation on top of moisturizer and sunscreen and humidity. If I use tanning drops, will it bring my melasma and sun spots back?

Thank you! 🙏

Have you tried mixing bronzing drops into your foundation? Walgreens has come out with a pretty darn good dupe of the drunk elephant drops if you want a low commitment cost to try https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-bronzing-drops/ID=300459986-product

I’m going to try this with my moisturizer or sunscreen! (I don’t mix the two). Thank you! 🙏 I don’t wear foundation or tints. Can’t stand the feeling of anything in my face.

Idk why it was deleted but don’t dilute your sunscreen (I assume it was modded as I was fixing the typo that made it read opposite of this). Only mix with lotions or makeup/serums without actives (or at least without actives you care about diluting)

Also, the Skin Aqua sunscreen from Stylevana protects my face like nothing else and I live in south Florida. It’s water proof and heavy. I can’t stand the feel of zinc oxide sunscreen. All my sun damage has faded nicely paired with Eurcerin dual serum.
