hyperpigmentation - spots

Why do pigmentation spots appear even when using high SPF sunscreen and taking precautions such as wearing a hat? Can melanin still be activated by the sun even in shaded areas?

What could be the cause of the appearance of white, depigmented spots on the cheeks?

Doing an NSDR session

I'm curious about the best practices for doing a NSDR session: - Is it necessary to listen to a guided track, or can it be just as effective to perform the session silently, guiding myself? - Is it possible to perform NSDR by moving through both sides of the body simultaneously, or is it better to focus on one side at a time? - Is there a minimum recommended duration for each NSDR session?

What are your thoughts on “Natural Flavors” in drinks like LaCroix and Waterloo? Are they healthy? Is it better to drink water without these natural flavors?
