Hyperpigmentation is a common, but harmless, condition where patches of skin become darker in color than the surrounding skin. It occurs when an excess of melanin forms deposits in the skin. Age or “liver” spots are a common form of hyperpigmentation. Melasma is similar in appearance to age spots, but are larger areas of darkened skin that most often appear from hormonal changes. For example, pregnancy can trigger the overSkin Brightening Gel by NeoStrataion of melanin that causes a “mask of pregnancy” on the face and darkening skin on the abdomen or other areas. Why do I want a Hydroquinone-Free Skin Gel? Hydroquinone is an ingredient commonly found in skin lightening creams and is used to treat hyperpigmentation. It works by limiting the action of melanin producing cells in the skin so that less pigment is produced. Prolonged use of hydroquinone has been shown to cause a condition called Ochronosis. Ochronosis is a condition where you develop patches of thick dark brown skin or blue-black patches on darker skin. Hydroquinone has also been found to be a carcinogenic, meaning it can cause cancer, to rodents in laboratory studies. Although there is no concrete evidence to show that it can cause cancer in humans, you might not want to take that chance! If you need a skin lightening crème for use over a long period of time, you are better off looking for a hydroquinone free crème, like SKIN BRIGHTENING GEL BY NEOSTRATA. How to Help Slow Down the Skin Aging Process The condition of your skin matters more on how it has been treated than on how old you are. Exposure to sun, smoke and stress can prematurely age your skin. If not treated right, your skin can lose collagen, glow and elasticity. Wrinkles can develop prematurely and your skin can look dull. Although it is easier to prevent damage to your skin than to repair it, you can put the brakes on prematurely aging skin and reverse the aging process- to a point. Here are 5 Do’s and Don’ts to help slow down the aging process and leave your skin glowing at any age. DO’s: DO Stop Smoking. Smoking is the second biggest cause of skin damage after sun exposure because Nicotine constricts blood vessels and decreases the flow of oxygen to the skin. DO use an AHA cream every day (retinoid?) like SKIN BRIGHTENING GEL BY NEOSTRATA. AHAs used properly can remove the dead skin off your face, and can appear to take 10 years off by reducing fine lines. DO give yourself a facial once a week. A facial only takes 30 minutes and includes cleansing, exfoliation with a facial scrub, a hydrating mask, a quick steam, and moisturizer. DO wear s sunscreen every day- rain or shine. It can take only 20 minutes of unprotected sun exposure to damage the skin, even in winter. DO Shield your windows. The average commuter gets 200 hours of sun exposure each year and 80 percent is thru car windows. DON’Ts: DON’T pull and rub your skin. DON’T forget to moisturize. Moisturizing can improve the appearance of lines by temporarily plumping them up. Try using Dr. Acai Moisturizer by L'Avenir!Dr. Acai Moisturizer is a moisturizing anti-aging cream that rejuvenates the skin and slows down the aging process. DON’T ignore your neck and chest. The neck and chest are the first to show signs of aging because they have fewer oil glands than the rest of your body. DON’T tan. Wrinkles will eventually show up if you tan. DON’T sporadically take care of your skin. It is important to wash your face every night to wash away all the pollution your skin has been exposed to and to avoid clogged pores.
