What can I do for skin pigmentation?
Start by using a vitamin C serum and sunscreen combination everyday.
The pigmentation you are seeing today was damage that occurred up to 10 years ago.
Its a slow process of helping to lighten the pigmentation.
In my scope of practice I can do LED light therapy and peels which all help lighten pigmentation.
Vitamin C helps effectiveness of sunscreen by helping UVA and UVB rays from penetrating as deep into the skin.
Do you wash and moisturize your face every morning and night?
In the morning!
Cleanse: This is essential to keeping skin looking radiant and healthy. Cleansing the skin in the morning helps to wake you up and freshen your skin. Cleansing helps maintain proper pore size. This is because you are removing the oil and the pores are not getting as clogged.
Exfoliate: This can be as simple as using a wash cloth when you cleanse. This will remove the very top skin cells. Leave the deeper exfoliating for your facial treatments.
Serum: I always recommend a vitamin C serum in the morning for all skin types to prevent sun damage and increase collagen and elastin production.
Hydrate: Use the right moisturizer for your skin type. If you are unsure of what that is, ask your esthetician.
Protect: Use a sunscreen every morning even if you live where it is cloudy all day.
At night!
Cleanse: Cleansing your skin in the p.m. helps remove dirt, oil, sunscreen and makeup.
Treatment Product: This can be a retinol based product or a peptide serum. The retinol feeds the skin cells vitamin A which helps with anti-aging. Some peptides help anti-aging while others help with hydration.
Moisturizer: Use the appropriate moisturizer for your skin type.
