SIMPLE SKINCARE TIPS

Skin pigmentation problems occur because the body produces either too much or too little melanin.
Melanin is the pigment in skin produced by specific cells {melanocytes}.It is triggered by an enzyme called tyrosinase which creates the colour of our skin, eyes and hair.

This faulty melanin production is primarily caused by chronic unprotected sun exposure or hormones {particularly during pregnancy or from taking birth control pills}.

As far as the skin is concerned , depending on how much is present , melanin does provide some amount of sun protection by absorbing the suns ultraviolet rays.

This explains why darker skin colours are less susceptible to sunburn and the overall effects of sun damage . But less susceptible doesn't mean immune from problem.

 1. Exfoliation- This is always the first step to getting lighter skin or removing permatan . This helps remove the outermost layer of skin that is darkened and / or damaged by contact with the sun .
Avoid over exfoliating , however as this can interfere with your skins natural oil production and cause greasiness I will recommend the following for best exfoliation result .
Get an exfoliating soap { Moroccan soap , nikkisavy kojic soap , nikkisavy peel soap }
Invest in Exfoliating Gloves / mitts / cloths to gently scrub skin with a couple of times a week {Hammam sponge, korean towel}

Get a lactic Acid Peel , Amlactin , Salicylic acid or Glycolic acid peel . Please be careful and patient with your skin , over exfoliation is not pretty and scrubbing your skin to death does not yield faster results .  Also please be very careful with the above listed acids ,though they are Alpha Hydroxy Acids and therefore the mildest of peels they are still acids and burns happen all the time if you dont do your research and apply them properly .  Get a Sauna Steam Bath ;

This is the easiest and fastest way to better exfoilation .

NOTE ; Dont start any lightening creams or lotions until you are done with the exfoliating phase .
DO NOT APPLY LIGHTENERS TO FRICTION  AREAS EXAMPLE IN BETWEEN THIGHS , INNER ARMS ETC TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR DERMIS .

3. Moisturizing - This is highly important for healthy skin in general , but particularly for skin that is subject to exfoliation and lightening . This can be very drying on the skin so you need to make sure you restore skins moisture .
CHECK OUR OILS & SERUMS SECTION

4 . Supplements -
This is important for people who lighten and exfoliate because stripping away layers of the skin can be dangerous and cause skin thinning .
VITAMIN C ,VITAMIN E , EVENING PRIMROSE , MSM , helps build collagen and also boost the immune system .
CHECK OUR SUPPLEMENTS SECTION .

5 . Practice Sun avoidance and protection-
Exfoliants , peels , or laser treatments without applying sunscreen is a waste of time and energy .
Sun exposure is one of the primary causes of skin discolouration , disorder , melasma , cant keep up with the suns daily assault on the skin .
This is the most crucial element of lightening . You can have the best skincare products in the world but if you go out unprotected in the sun all your progress goes down the drain .
Get a physical sunblock to protect your skin from UVA and UVB damage TODAY.

NOTE : When buying sunscreen look out for ZINC OXIDE as an active or main ingredient . HAPPY SKIN PRIMING AND PAMPERING DOLLS.
