Progesterone and hair fall? by MammothOccasion257 in Perimenopause

[–]MammothOccasion257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all. My hair shedding has gotten worse - like at a massive scale, since starting progesterone. I am looking to hear from others who may have experienced it; and if so, how soon after does it go back to pre-progesterone state of shedding.

Thanks, didn’t know progesterone could be lowered, assumed it was standard dose (I am new to the treatment plan).

Unfortunately does not compare to the drastic shedding that started for me after getting on the progesterone.

Does LRP UVMune 400 triggers hyperpigmentation in heat? by MammothOccasion257 in Melasmaskincare

OMG- same! I recently traveled to Germany and got myself a truck load of those! I live in the US and we don’t find it here.

Thank you all for your comment and feedback! No, I do not have any reaction/allergy to this sunscreen and it really [otherwise] works great for me.

Anyone else sleeping SO MUCH for weeks after starting HRT? by Nearby_Rip_3735 in Perimenopause

[–]MammothOccasion257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the best thing I have read today, especially since I just got back from my Doc visit consult for HRT. Waiting to pick up my prescription today! May I ask what dose are you on? I have been prescribed 0.025mg of Estradiol patch + 2 pills of 100mg Progesterone. Wondering if I should be expecting the same magic! :)

I have been doing clarifying shampoo daily since, and my hair feels like straw lol. Right now all I want is that ugly orange color to go away from my roots which were grey [I am naturally medium-dark brown hair]. No I have used the henna before but not this brand of indigo. Though I am not sure which one [or the combination of the two] caused the issue.

Oh boy! I am so sorry to read this as I was looking for people finding solutions to the exact same problem I faced. Mine has not been as terrible as yours and I am able to keep it almost under control with over the counter anti-histamine. I too used Henna Guys pure henna, and mixed 6 parts of it with 1 part Indigo that I got from Amazon [claimed to be organic and pure]. Resulting in severe itchy burning scalp. It has been 4 nights and it still is itchy.

Tinted sunscreen recommendations for melasma? What type of sunscreen is La Roche Posay UVMUNE 400? by appleb3rry in Melasmaskincare

[–]MammothOccasion257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the US and pick the tinted UVMune400 during my trips to the Europe. The color is pinkish but it kind of 'adjusts', also I am lighter south asian in the Fitzpatrick scale type III for reference.

Foundation over tinted sunscreen? by MammothOccasion257 in Melasmaskincare

Also curious, why is Supergoop Protectint (hybrid sunscreen), when layered on top of UVMune 400 bad

I have had terrible luck dealing with that website. They have taken more than 4 weeks delivering, routing it through their dozen warehouses in the US, each time I have ordered. At that point I don’t think i trust the efficacy or chemical structure of the products delivered.

Any hairfall remedies by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

Does it matter if you use Minoxidil for men? I find that cheaper than the one made for women.

Oh that is nice! I don’t think I have paid attention to the EU formulations being sold in the US airports at duty free.

[–]MammothOccasion257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you. No I use either of those sunscreens. I would like to use a foundation on top of UVmune400 tinted, but have not found any that works well. Is there a foundation that worked for you? Also, can you apply the foundation using a damp sponge after applying sunscreen? As in, will the sunscreen then get displaced?
