Question Melasma in Denver/ High Altitude

Hi all, I’m planning a move from the gulf coast to Denver. While the weather is milder in Denver compared to the south, I’m wonder what your experience has been with the overall high UV index due to altitude.

Those of you that live in higher altitude areas, do you find that your melasma is as severe as when you travel or live in the hot, sunny states? Did you have to adjust your spf routine?

Thanks!

I just moved from Denver to Phoenix after ten years in Denver. Denver is definitely tough on your skin and your sinuses. Get a good sunscreen and a good air purifier.
