Many
factors affect the color of our skin, from genetic factor to climatic. On the top
of it, the color of our skin relies on its specific structure, like the
epidermis thickness, the number and location of blood vessels, and the skin
relief. High pigmentation, freckles and dark sports make a woman suffer no less
than wrinkles. As a rule, high pigmentation occurs when the skin reacts with
the direct sunrays with the protection functions, though sometimes
pigmentations is the sign for serious health problems. All in all, you'd better
go and seek for the advice of the dermatologists to have healthy and smooth
skin.
Once you
come to the decision to struggle with high pigmentation, including freckles,
spots and uneven complexion, you need a complex individual program that
combines beauty procedures in the salons and home skin care procedures. And the
fairness cream is included as one of the stages of the therapeutic program.
Farness creams may have as components arubutin which is largely found in bearberry
leaves and in some other plants. Kojic acids reduce melanin production though
they may cause allergy, which is not advantageous at all. The components of the
fairness cream may include bearberry, yarrow, licorice, lemon, cucumber, parsley,
the plants that have bleaching characteristics.
The number
of fairness creams and other skin whitening products are available as
peel-offs, lotions and serums, etc. The fairness creams have similar basic components
as it was mentioned above though several
additives make them more suitable to some particular skin type and may irritate
other skin type. Thus, you need to find your skin type and then and only then
select the best product for you.
Cosmetologists
and dermatologists recommend that you have the bleaching procedures done during
autumn and winter seasons, when the sun rays are less radioactive. When fairness
creams are used, the sunscreeners should also be applied. When you go out,
you apply the sunscreener with 2.5 SPF, not less. The decorative
makeup currently marketed also contain sunscreeners components, though the
protection level thereof is too low and thus, they are not so much effective
unlike pure sunscreeners.
A wide
range of cosmetic brands offer skin bleaching creams for any taste.
Fairness creams
are found in various professional makeup lines, like Holy
Land, Yon-Ka, Danne, Academie, Lacrima, Institute Esthederm and
Decleor. As a rule, cosmetologists use the production of these brands
for
bleaching procedures done in their salons. They also recommend using
special means forfollow-up at home. It is proved by specialists, that
the fairness
cream is not sufficient tool to get rid of high pigmentation. Several
preparations are combined together to have a visible effect when one
cream
compliments another and supports the effect thereof. Thus, you are also
required to use milk, tonics, masks and concentrate together with
fairness
creams.
However,
sometimes and in some people these means may have side effects, so do a patch
test before you apply these preparations you chose. Fairness creams with acids
remove old shells of the skin to reveal new cells while those with mulberry
extract, licorice extract, kojic acid, arbutin and hydroquinone inhibit melanin
or absorb sun rays and are good for blemishes.
Such
companies as Leirac (France), Nature Bisse (Spain),
Gernetic (France), Cellcosmet (Switzerland)
produce good quality fairness creams which are available in drug stores. In spite
of the high quality of the cream, the manufacturers show good faith marking their
products with the warning that the mere cream is not sufficient to bleach the
skin and the complex program is what required. The same, good effect is ensured
when you have professional peeling procedure done in the salon and use the
fairness cream at home. When the spots on the face and pigmentation is superficial
as if caused by exposure to sun rays and dust, any good branded fairness cream
can help but for deeper pigmentations, you my want to have laser peeling. When
purchasing the product, check the chemical components of the cosmetics to see
that hydroquinone (HQ) is one of the most widely prescribed whitening agent,
followed by kojic and azelaic acid.
Before you
start using fairness creams, you'd better go and see the specialist. The high
pigmentation that disturbs you so much may be caused by serious disease of
inner organs that requires long treatment, thus purchase and application of
fairness creams can be the expenditure you do not really need.
