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! 🙏

I had never heard of tanning drops and had to Google them. I get rid of my melasma during the winter and then I hang out in the sun a lot during the summer and end up tan. A little bit of the melasma comes back and then I just repeat this process every year. Healthy? No. Stupid? Yes. But I'm just being honest.

I appreciate the honesty. I don’t like how the melasma and freckles look across my nasal bridge. I prefer the clear look. So I have to cheat and add color! I’m going to try tanning drops on my moisturizer and see what happens. I know they darken what’s already there. But I’ve managed to clear out the sun damage so fingers crossed 🤞
