3 WAYS TO BRIGHTEN SKIN // PLUS MY JOURNEY SO FAR
/
As we age our skin texture changes and you might think that fine lines and wrinkles are the first thing to be noticed. But in reality the thing that often gives us away is the sun damage and dark spots that are making their way to the surface of our skin.
When we are young sun damage doesn't seem permanent, after all a sunburn only lasts a few days before it fades. BUT under the surface of the skin the damage runs much deeper, and over time it begins to move forward in the layers of the skin. This damage appears as dark spots or freckles, and can be tricky to combat.
Over the last couple of years, I have been on a journey to address my own dark spots and pigment, and a JOURNEY it has been. I've tried so many products and treatments- and I finally feel like I am on the right path. Here are the things I've found most effective and a great place to start: [video here]
3 Steps to Brighter Skin
Mild Daily Brightening: Selfless by Hyram - Niacinamide & Maracuja Daily Moisture
Chemical Exfoliation at Home: SkinFix Resurface Exfoliating Pads
Advanced Chemical Exfoliation by a Pro: Chemical Peels range in types of acids that are used and the strength that are used. I have been getting monthly Chemical Peels at The Mint Facial Bar in Lehi, and I have progressively worked up the stronger peels each month. Talk to your esthetician about what would be best for you... but plan for it to be a process.
Don't forget that there is ZERO point in doing all of this if you aren't going to protect the results with daily sunscreen, so that is the last bonus step! I love the SuperGoop Glow Screen because it has a reflective finish that further brightens the look of skin.
