During my stay in Toronto, I had the pleasure of visiting the Fix Facial Bar, an exquisite downtown oasis that specializes in personalized skincare with a rejuvenating touch. The experience was truly delightful, especially considering my concern with melasma.
Opting for a therapeutic cleansing facial with a focus on lymphatic drainage, I felt a sense of tranquility and revitalization. As a bonus, I was provided with a selection of skincare essentials, including a nourishing day cream, a soothing night cream, and a gentle exfoliator that effectively eliminates dead skin without any harsh scrubbing - an essential lesson I learned for women's skincare.
What made this visit even more enlightening was the enlightening conversation with MC, my exceptional skin therapist, who shared invaluable insights about how pregnancy can impact the skin. I left the Fix Facial Bar not only feeling rejuvenated but also armed with newfound knowledge about caring for my skin during this particular phase of life.
The Fix Facial Bar truly exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to revisit this haven of personalized self-care and expertise.
📍 Location: Fix Facial Bar, Toronto
🙋♀️ Skin Therapist: MC
Thanks to my chat with Maria Cristina, my amazing skin therapist and founder of Fix Facial Bar.

Shan!!! You beautiful creature! Thank you so much for letting me treat your gorgeous skin! Your energy is so amazing and I loved our time together! Give those beautiful babies a squish from me!
Thank you for sharing this conversation with us. The internet can be such a cruel and unforgiving space. I’m excited to see you embark on this journey of extending yourself more grace as you navigate the changes that come along with motherhood and aging. You are setting a phenomenal example for your girls.
Shan you really inspire me with how you are with your daughter and how you power through doing what you need to do while still being present and inclusive of your daughter…I get so anxious of my daughter ‘misbehaving’ when we are outside that I don’t go anywhere with her if it’s not with me and her father and seeing you like this is definitely inspiring me to go out with my daughter alone and just power through like you do
I loved the conversation with MC. She has such a calming presence, I wish I could get treated by her. My skin is by far, by a landslide, my biggest insecurity.
Also, not to be *that person* but in case it matters, permanent is misspelled in the thumbnail! haha
Yeah...I remember when I stopped getting looks regularly . Kinda sad, but that's alright! It's time for the new young ladies to get their looks!
Ooh, I can soo relate to this...
For me melasma started when I was on hormonal birth control. It got so bad that even makeup couldn't cover it. I didn't want to go off pill for a long time because it improved my acne situation. But then when I went off the pill, got pregnant, had 2 babies - both melasma AND acne came back... and wrinkles on top of that I was sooo unhappy.
I finally got rid of acne with half year of taking oral retinoids. Melasma got a little better too. Now my skin is the best it's ever been. But I use SPF50+ everyday, even when I stay home. Also I dye my hair red and have natural freckles, so melasma kind of blends in :)
You look beautiful Shan - inside and out. Thank you for this film and others. You create a nice place on the internet.
10/10 she is so supporting and won't bullshit to make you feel beter. I love this woman
Just had my fourth kid and was just talking about my skin issues and aging (I’m 38). This came right on time.
I had melasma mustache after my fourth child 10 years ago. It faded over time and now is gone. Best tip is to wear sunscreen and try to keep face covered in the sun. Any time sun would hit my face it was immediately darker. Your beautiful with or without the melasma❤
Shan still being able to be the great interviewer she is while getting a facial is impressive!!
I’m 54 and my Melasma surfaced after menopause, many years later after having 3 children in my early to mid 30’s. I use to have glycolic acid peels in my 20’s a lot and my skin was amazing. Now, for the past 4 years I’ve used Retinol cream from dermatologist and that didn’t work, using drug store brands. Higher levels I can see slight fading. It makes me feel insecure for sure, and aging doesn’t help. I agree with MC, even though I’m married the loss of youth and agism hurts. Nevertheless, I refuse to use any sort of filter bc I want to be as authentic as I can and my 22 year old daughter will know aging is a normal process. Be brave ladies !!! 🙏🏾💗🤩
I haven't watched the video yet but I guarantee this is due to hormonal imbalance. You will need to reset your hormonal balance naturally without supplemental hormones. I suggest seeing a functional medicine doctor. Dermatologist or endocrinologist will probably only aggravate the root cause further as they will just give you Band-Aids to cover up your symptoms. You're the best Shan. Don't sweat it.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I’ve been dealing with facial discoloration at my upper lip for as long as I can remember (I’m almost 40), even before I had my daughter. I’ve always just covered it with makeup and called it a day, and I’ve thought about going back to the dermatologist to try and “fix” it. At the same time, the older I get, the more exhausting it feels to worry about it at all.
I have it too! Have you found a good concealer to really cover it?
@@Notmyr3alnameI’m not good at makeup at all, lol, but I’ve had good luck with ELF color corrector in orange plus Il Makiage foundation.
Shan! Love this video! You should look up dr dray on RUclips! She’s a dermatologist and explains skin and skin science really well. She helped me a lot when I was figuring my skin out. She actually has two videos on melasma. One is for products that help (but not fix and she will tell you that) and for the studies that are appearing in the dermatology world finding that visible light combined with uv are far more what’s responsible for melasma than we thought and recommends sunscreens that help visible light as well. She’s extremely scientific and does not buy into hype or anything like that.
I was so upset when I got mine... My permanent mustache. I blamed myself... I thought that with ripping my skin waxing and sun exposure it was my fault. My doctor told me that this was just under my skin waiting to come up... Probably wasn't even the waxing but I was determined to blame myself.
All the self inflicted torture over something I can't change. I avoided the sun constantly and "mentioned" it to anyone I was outdoors with...
I've finally stopped that... It was insane! I deserve to feel the sun on my face again in my life! I can't believe I'd accepted... I would never have sun on my face again and I would explain hiding in the shade to anyone I was with...
I finally decided I love myself... I feel the sun and not taint my social interactions...
Sunscreen and let it go!
This was Wonderful and insightful, Shan! Keep being beautiful and don't filter, you are Stunning!!! Ryu is adorable and communicating perfectly!!✌🏾💕
Thank u for this video an having this conversation… 🤰🏽changed my skin like no other.. lots of cystic acne and I thought postpartum it would go away.. it didn’t.. things are only calming down now slowly once I stopped nursing (after 2 years).. so no doubt my hormones played a factor but I do have marks that may fade but I’m sure won’t go away. Like you said I’m learning to shift my perspective but I’m so glad this conversation is being said and yeah I can tell ppl that these marks are due to having 2 babies in under 2 years- which I would never change. 💜
I actually have dark shading above my lip having nothing to do with child's birth. That area is also very sensitive for some reason to certain products. What I do have after pregnancy is more of a texture or porous look to my face which I did not have before. The body is a strange and amazing thing
you look great! I really appreciate the honesty & education in this video. ❤
Shan we love your journey. Thanks for sharing x
I had a horrible case of melasma after my pregnancy. What helped was using a glycolic acid based cleanser and sunscreen, especially tinted zinc oxide sunscreens. I used Juice beauty tinted SPF 30 for years. Recently I have been using Laroche Posay uvmune.
Heavenly Episode. Good Job.
i was hoping to spend my last year in my 30's having some fun and celebrating leaving my 30s but spent it sick and now having a hysterectomy, 3wks ago , my last summer of my 30's im recovering from surgery.... being a woman is hard, aging is hard, im already grieving and i still get tons of attention, but i guess i know if u live long enough the cat calls stop
Shan you have incredible skin! And you’re such a sweet mom ❤loved the Ryu cameo
This is why we love you, you keep it real!!! I always wondered why I had a darker upper lip without hair being there thanks for the information
My skin was terrible in my teenage years, up until my 20s. When I came into my 30s, it became wayyy better. I don't see the flaws in your skin so I think you look good.
If your diet is not on point and your stress is even bad your hormones go up and down. That triggered my acne as a example. When your pregnant its important to get help from a nutritionist.
Ryu is getting big so cute 🥰
Ugh I needed this so badly. I have a lot of discoloration on my face, which is not nice, but its okay. What really bothers me is the upper lip. It is my number one insecurity.
Struggling with this right now thanks for the video! I like that I can come to your channel for the all that is good and spicy lol and things that are healing in a different way!
Woow. Thank you for the honesty you two😊
Vitamin C helped me a lot to make my skintone look more even. I also don’t sunbathe anymore
This was so relaxing… like Asmr 👍🏻💯
Your skin is beautiful ❤️
I just love you Shan!
I struggle with melasma..but i manage it with hydrochinon mixed with retinol it makes it way lighter...but you can never be too long in the sun otherwise it gets dark again and spf 100 everyday..but it is manageble..just have to try out the %that goes best with your skin..but it is totally managable..it becomes your day and night routine to use the cream just like your daily skin regime..
Hey, i had three babies in 5 years and when i tell you that my stomach took a 360 from what it used to look like pre-prego.. humm, This is a whole convo in itself.. 🙂. My last child is 7 yo and still trying to get used to my stomach 😞 Anyway that is not really why i commented🤫. That song of Jared at the end of the video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Is it available yet, Name of the song please, please.. . Thanks and as always Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
I am so looking forward to watching your new show on Roku channel
Im soooo glad you did this video!!
I have melasma, too. The only thing that got rid of it completely was 4 Pico4 laser treatments.
How long has it been gone?
Oh yes my skin changed after my first child and my hair changed after my 2nd. Having kids can change your entire body
Shan you got the most beautiful skin in the world
I have melasma and never was pregnant! I think the birth control pill has something to do with it.
Me too! I'm guessing it's my birth control as well.. it's the only thing that has changed.
It’s related to hormone changes, less estrogen shifts . And definitely birth control pills manipulates our hormones. I’ve never been on BC but I’ve done my resin Melasma and seen a dermatologist.
I get one chin hair on one side of my face since i was 6 months pregnant with my daughter and she is 11!! 😅
Thank you for this video!!
I don't have a baby, yet
With GOD anything can be cured and not shown ever again.
You’re such beautiful 😍😍😍🌸
Ryu is the best
I so much admire your kind gesture Dr Igudia, indeed you are a life saver. Coming across your channel on my worst Herpes simplex virus stage was a blessing, your remedies were top notch. I’m grateful to God I made you my physician
You look beautiful girl ♥️🫶🏼
tretinoin is the only proven thing that fixes skin issues like this don't waste your money get a script for retin-a
Awe Shan you’re SO beautiful! I’ve been a viewer for forever and I’ve always envied you - I’m sure many think the same! Ryu killed me and this video was def a breath of fresh air. 🫶
Thanks so much for sharing Shan ! I’ve had melasma above my lip my whole life 🥸 😂😂😂I finally decided to see a dermatologist 3 years ago for that and some acne hyperpigmentation and my skin has never looked better (Skinceuticals products, 2 prescription creams and microdermabrasion every 6 weeks). No kids yet, we’ll see if that makes it flare up again LOL
