Vancouver Spa Featured Skin Care Product: Introduction to Skin Brighteners, Pigmentation and Sundamage Solutions
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008‘Sun damage’, once a vague and oft-misunderstood term has become a part of the commonplace language of skin care.
Uneven pigmentation (which look like freckles), dilated capillaries (which appear as redness in the skin) and a leathery appearance and texture are the mainstays of sun damaged skin.
One thing I find is that as people start noticing these changes in their skin, they want an explanation of what could have caused them to appear. However, sun damage that starts coming to the surface isn’t necessarily triggered by current circumstances; it’s usually the result of years of sun exposure dating back to childhood.
Exceptions to this rule are areas of pigmentation that arise due to hormonal fluctuations also known as melamsa or pregnancy mask. This type of pigmentation is treatable with topical solutions or professional treatments when the hormonal disruption or change is over.
There are solutions that will greatly improve the overall tone and appearance of the skin and reverse some of the damage that has been done.
In this series of articles we’ll look at some different products and how they work to treat sun damaged skin.
