Although a lot of us dream of flawless skin, the truth is that most people, regardless of ethnicity and skin color, have pigment blemishes on their skin. The discolored small or large patches might be considered aesthetically unappealing and most people would like to get rid of these spots. To understand how to lighten your blemishes you need to understand that these spots or patches are nothing more than accumulation of melanin.
What is melanin?
Melanin is the substance that gives color to your skin. Ideally, melanin concentration should be even across the entire expanse of your skin but this is seldom the case. Various environmental, dietary, hereditary and age factors contribute towards the formation of these spots and blemishes. These lesions or spots have different names depending on the cause. Melasma, hyperpigmentation, freckles are some of the various names that refer to these blemishes.
How do I rid myself of these spots?
Any dermatologist will tell you that pigment problems are extremely difficult to get rid of. But there is hope. There have been various advances in the field of pigment research and there are a number of remedies that can effectively remove the excess pigment and prevent the re-accumulation of melanin on the skin.
Are all pigment problems basically the same? Can I use the same treatment for various pigment problems?
There are several ways to get rid of spots or patches of hyperpigmentation. Pigmentation could be hormonal in nature like melasma, dark underarms, dark skin patches on the neck or inner thigh area and age spots. Once these spots or patches of dark skin have lightened, you will need to continue some sort of maintenance regimen due to the hormonal nature of the problem. Stopping treatment as soon as these spots have disappeared will cause them to reoccur in a few months. There are certain other kinds of spots or patchy skin caused by trauma to the skin by insect bites, shaving, acne or repeated pressure to certain areas of skin. These patches or spots once lightened usually don’t return.
What are the various ways I can use to get rid of these blemishes?
There are three ways to get rid of these blemishes.
Mechanical: Mechanical methods work best when the pigmentation is recent and superficial. Those who don’t exfoliate their skin on a regular basis will also see good results. There are various derma-abrasion kits available in your local pharmacy that could help gently exfoliate the area. Micro-derma abrasion cloths are also a good option as they remove dead skin cells very gently. Exfoliating encourages skin cell turnover ensuring that fresher and more even toned skin surfaces. However, one needs to be careful when exfoliating because over exfoliation or over zealous use of mechanical methods can actually increase the darkness of blemishes.
Skin peels: Peels work to invisibly remove the “glue” that holds the surface skin together and encourages exfoliation without any need for mechanical interference. Peels used to be administered at a doctor’s office and some strong peels are still only available to medical or aesthetic specialists. Nowadays there are various kinds of peels available online and even at low concentrations over the counter. The right choice of peel depend on the nature of the problem, the depth of pigmentation and the general health of the skin. Certain peels can go as deep as the dermis (deepest layer of the skin) to lighten skin from the inside out. Certain peels along with their exfoliating capabilities also target abnormal pigment cells and work to uniform skin tone.
Skin Lightening Agents: Skin lightening agents penetrate the skin to destroy extra melanin and give skin an appearance of being even toned. There are various skin lightening agents identified by scientists and herbalists and many of them work very well on skin blemishes. Different skin whitening agents have different modes of action. Some work to destroy melanin, some work to prevent the transfer of melanin from the deepest layer of the skin to the surface, still others interfere with the actual production of melanin. There are a few chemical agents actually destroy the melanin creating cells called melanocytes. These should never be used for skin blemishes unless one has depigmentation problems. The best methods entail the use of herbal or natural skin lighteners that are used in a combination so as to affect the whole production cycle of melanin.
A combination of the right peel or exfoliation combined with the right combination of skin lightening agents can effectively lighten even the toughest pigment spots.

If you are looking for a whitening skin care product you need to know what the best ingredients are to know if you are getting a product that works. You want one that contains Extrapone Nutgrass Root to naturally lighten your skin.
Nutgrass root has the ability to inhibit the formation of the skin pigment melanin. There are no harmful side effects. Another wonderful thing about it is the fact that it contains anti aging properties. What more could you ask for in a whitening cream.
I’ve had freckles ever since I was a little girl – I am now 53 years old. I used to think they were cute, and I still don’t mind them a lot, but there are a few of them that just stick out in the wrong places. I had a couple especially dark ones on my shoulder that always stuck out like a sore thumb whenever I wanted to wear certain tops. My husband likes to buy me really nice jewelry and when I’d put these certain tops on that revealed more of my shoulder, it seemed like all I saw was these huge freckles and my eye wouldn’t even go to the beautiful diamond my husband bought me.
I started using a whitening skin care cream with the right ingredients and the freckles are fading, so they don’t stick out as much. Now I actually see the diamond instead of the freckles.
Other ingredients in a good whitening skin care should be Cynergy TK, Phytessence Wakame, and Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10. These are all natural substances that you can find in Xtend-Life’s other products. They work together to solve the main three causes of aging skin which are:
· Lower levels of hyaluronic acid
· Oxidation by the action of free radicals
· Loss of elastin and collagen
When you add these three ingredients with the nutgrass root you have a great whitening cream and an anti aging skin care product all in one. They help moisturize the skin, they stimulate the skin to build more collagen and elastin, and they raise the level of hyaluronic acid. All this helps to remove wrinkles and fine lines. So along with lightening your skin you get great looking smoother skin.
Whitening cream should also contain natural vitamin E, maracuja, babassu, and grapeseed oil. These natural emollients help to nourish and revitalize your skin without leaving an oily feel. The maracuja helps to regulate the sebum production in your skin to prevent it from becoming too dry or too oily.
You’ll also find the best whitening skin care creams to be of benefit if you deal with dry itchy skin or inflamed skin. If your cream contains babassu it will help to soothe the skin while it moisturizes and creates an invisible barrier to keep grime and dirt out.
Now that you know what to look for go and get yourself some whitening skin care cream. You won’t find the best anywhere except from a company in New Zealand, and you can only find their products on line.

Bleaching Creams
Brown spots, melasma, freckles. These are all words to describe areas of the skin that are pigmented due to sun exposure, medications, or genetics. Bleaching products are used to suppress pigmentation in order to lighten hyperpigmented areas. The three best ingredients being used in bleaching creams are Hydroquinone, Kojic acid, and Mandelic Acid.
What is it used for?
Meladerm® is generally used to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmented skin on the body or face. Many customers use the product to achieve a uniform skin tone by lightening the appearance of uneven areas and dark spots. The product can also be used to brighten the overall complexion by lightening the appearance of sun damaged skin.
How does hydroquinone work?
Hydroquinone works by decreasing the production and increasing the breakdown of melanosomes (melanin pigment granules) in the skin’s pigment cells (melanocytes). It does this by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme needed to make melanin.
Anal Bleaching Cream
Apparently, anal bleaching is the new brazilian waxing. For years, rumors persisted that stars were bleaching their anal areas to look younger….everywhere. Most people, including us, figured it was an urban myth. Then an episode of Doctor 90210 aired where an adult movie starlet came to the doctor’s office and exclaimed “I’m here for the anal bleaching.” This touched off a search on our part.
Abella Skin Care
Tyrosianse Inhibitors block tyrosinase enzymes from attaching to tyrosine, preventing its conversion into melanin. This unique blend is so effective that only 2% Hydroquinone is needed, minimizing irritation to sensitive skin. It’s ten times more effective than Kojic Acid, which only blocks melanin. Combining these ingredients provides the greatest protection against pigmentation.
