Skin Lightening Solutions: Anti-Hyperpigmentation

One of our main concerns for this season is the harm and damage that sun exposure may cause. Hyperpigmentation (also referred to as age spots, melasma, pregnancy mask, liver spots and scarring) often result from excessive sun exposure . Patches that are darker in color than the normal surrounding skin are often created when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect the skin color of people of any race. People with darker Asian, Mediterranean or African skin tones are prone to this kind of skin disorder. Women on birth control pills or experiencing hormonal changes may also experience this commonly.

Additional causes of hyperpigmentation may be skin diseases such as acne that may leave dark spots after the condition clears or previous injuries to the skin, including some surgeries or anything that results in inflammation may lead to this type of scarring. Use special care not to pick scabs or blemishes. Now how do you treat this common and usually harmless skin condition? Most prescription creams used to lighten the skin contain hydroquinone, but this often leads to sensitivity. Today we have natural alternatives and ingredients to bleach, lighten and fade darkened skin patches by slowing the production of melanin so those dark spots gradually fade to match normal skin coloration. Beauty products such as Jan Marini Age Intervention Enlighten brightens and encourages the uniform appearance of facial discoloration, while the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Lightening Gel works with Kojic acid to bleach the skin also with less sensitivity, side effects or complications. Dr. Schrammek also boasts its Mela White Cream, an innovated day cream that helps in reducing existing skin discoloration and also prevents the development of new pigmentation changes through its unique UVA/UVB filter system. As another option you may also minimize the appearance with the Dr. Schrammek Blemish Balm available in 4 tints, and an essential oil formula that helps to protect and heal.

If you need a product to minimize stubborn discoloration while also minimizing facial lines, scars and refine the texture of your skin, the Jan Marini Age Intervention Enlighten is available for just $89.00 and is also combined with anti aging ingredients for total skin rejuvenation. As a cheaper alternative, the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Lightening Gel for $41.00 contains glycolic acid in a gel base. In addition, the Dr. Schrammek Mela White Cream will continuously protect your skin with a highly effective sunscreen while lightening discoloration for as low as $85.00.
