Hard working skin lightening potions
Uneven skin tone—brownish patches on the cheeks, upper lip, nose and forehead—are a common but distressing problem for many women. These dark spots, also called pigmentation, are caused by hormonal changes and sun exposure. Until recently, the only way to treat pigmentation was with lasers, but this is a costly and time intensive option. Enter pigmentation creams that gradually fade away those unsightly brown spots. Rule of thumb: avoid pigmentation creams that contain hydroquinone because it can thin skin, making the problem worse in the long term. Instead use products with natural skin lightening ingredients such as kojic acid or alpha-arbutin. Other skin lighters like bearberry leav es extract and undecylenoyl phenylalanine block melanin production (that causes darkening). Use a combination of topical lotions or gels containing melanin-inhibiting ingredients along with a sunscreen and a prescription retinoid to restore your glow.
