Posts Tagged ‘Sun Damaged Skin’



When you have a brownish skin discoloration or splotch on your skin, it is known as skin pigmentation. Age spots, sun spots, liver spots, freckles, and lentigos are the different types of skin pigmentation. It happens when your body produce too much melanin which darken the skin. People with this skin problem tends to look for skin pigment dark spots treatment.

The common treatment for this skin disorder is Intense Pulsed Light System (IPL), a form of laser. It can treat sun damaged skin. It works by removing the layer of uneven pigmentation. This will allow new pigment to be produced which will give a lighter tone. You can see faster results compared to other therapies. But you need to understand that it also comes with risks. In some cases, it can make your pigmentation worse. Scarring can also occur but it is rare. When you are treated with laser treatment, you need some time to recuperate after the surgery. Since this treatment carries more risk and costs more, you should opt for it as the last option after all other methods have failed.

Another common treatment for dark spots is hydroquinone cream. It can fade the the dark skin tone so that people would not notice your skin problem. However, it can cause skin irritation and redness when used in higher concentration. You are at risk of developing a rare disease called ochronosis, a blue-black skin condition. You should avoid using it on blemishes.

Chemical peel is still used by many victims of hyperpigmentation. You will experience a burning sensation after the treatment which is a normal reaction. This peel contains glycolic acid with tri-chloro acetic acid which helps to lighten the dark spots. The treatment will last about three weeks before you see any visible result.

Hyperpigmentation is caused by the excess of melanin production. It usually affects those people with darker skin type. But it can also happen on those with white skin. Many of the skin pigment dark spots treatment can be done with skin lightening creams. There are some which uses natural ingredients which mimic hydroquinone. They can restore the color of the skin effectively.

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.

Some of the physical signs of sun damaged skin are sunburn, age spots, freckles and wrinkles. We all love the tanning effect of the sun but the reality is that too much exposure the UV rays cause a lot of havoc to your body. It increases free radicals which destroy your immune system, causing diseases including cancer; free radicals also cause premature aging of the skin leading to the appearance of lines, wrinkles and age spots.

The benefit of sunlight is not in doubt either; it helps your body to get the necessary vitamin D. However, you need to avoid too much exposure to it; to prevent sun damaged skin, you should always protect your body with sunscreen when going out. I do not mean the chemical laden SPFs, because those ones also contain chemicals harmful to your body.

Look for creams that contain D-Panthenol (vitamin B5); this is a natural sunblocker and moisturizer that protects your skin against the damaging effects of the UV rays of the sun. It is proven to be effective at preventing sunburns and removing existing ones; it also enhances natural tanning process.

The problem most people with sun damaged skin battle with is, finding a good skin whitening cream that will effectively remove the age spots, freckles, sunburns and wrinkles. Most of the whitening creams on the market contain lightening agents that irritate the skin such as hydroquinone and alphahydroxy acid; these chemicals will even make the sun damaged skin worse.

However, there are a few natural whitening creams that contain ingredients that are effective and yet gentle on a skin with such condition. I discovered one of such natural whitening creams; it contains a whitening agent called Extrapone Nutgrass. This ingredient works by inhibiting the production of melanin; it is important to note that it is the accumulation of melanin that causes age spots.

Extrapone Nutgrass is proven to inhibit melanin by over 41% when used in 0.5% concentration. The beauty of it all is that instead of causing irritation, Nutgrass actually prevents irritation; this is because it was first developed as an anti-irritant before its whitening properties were discovered. It is gentle on your skin, yet very effective in removing age spots, sunburns, freckles and other pigmentation.

Extrapone Nutgrass also contains anti-aging properties; thus, it helps to remove lines and wrinkles thereby rejuvenating your sun damaged skin, making it look smooth and younger.
