Whiten and Brighten Your Skin

Whiten and Brighten Your Skin

Nowadays we wouldn’t dream of leaving home without lathering on a good sunscreen. However for many of us our former sun worshipping days are fast catching up with us and we’re starting to see the damage which has already been caused.

Hyper-pigmentation and dark spots on the skin usually result from excess exposure to the sun. When skin is exposed to the sun, the skin cells produce a pigment called melanin, and when skin is continually exposed to the sun’s rays, the accumulated melanin on the skin appears as light spots. These are also sometimes termed age spots, liver spots or sun spots and they tend to occur in areas which are prone to the most sun exposure such as the face, neck, and arms.

Hyperpigmentation Has a Number of Reasons

As well as sun damage, hyperpigmentation can also occur due to the natural process of ageing, and pregnant women are also more likely to experience the condition. Discoloration can also be down to hormonal changes, acne, genetics and even skin treatments which have been unsuccessful (post inflammatory pigmentation). People with certain skin tones are more prone to getting hyperpigmentation too, and Asian, East Indian, Middle Eastern, Hispanic and African American skins are more likely to experience pigmentation disorders.

In order to prevent discoloration of the skin, it’s essential to apply a high factor sunblock every day – no matter what the weather. Exfoliation is another helpful way to ward off sun spots, since hyperpigmentation begins deep in the epidermis.

If the damage has already been done, and if, like many of us you received too much sun exposure as a child, there are still ways to reduce the appearance of sun spots.

Here’s How to Achieve an Even Complexion…

People sometimes turn to laser or chemical peels in an attempt to treat the skin, however there are products on the market which can lighten skin in a gentler way. Pearl Whitening Cream by Dead Sea Premier uses a gently pearl powder in a secret mix which include whitening herbs along with UVA and UVB sun filter protection. This helps to suppress the production of melanin, leading to a lighter, more even complexion.
