An even skin tone that is bright, glowing and rejuvenated is the dream of all of our clients at Jay’s Medispa in North Shore. However, many things can affect the condition of your skin, which unfortunately makes this dream difficult to achieve.
Diet, exercise and even your hormones and age are influential.
Brightening, lightening and whitening treatments and products are best for addressing skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, sun damage, dark spots, a dull and uneven skin tone, or acne scars. If these concerns are relevant to you, this is what you should know about using skin brightening, lightening, and whitening treatments or products:
1. The ingredients matter
For any skin brightening and lightening treatments or products, you should always look for relevant ingredients such as vitamin C, niacinamide, AHAs or hydroquinone. All help brighten the complexion in some form. For example, AHAs stand for alpha hydroxy acids that remove dead skin cells to reveal brighter and smoother skin.
2. Professional brightening treatments are a must
At Jay’s MediSpa, we provide targeted brightening treatments and facials designed to improve the appearance of your skin.
Professional treatments such as our Innoaesthetics Serum Restructurer imbue your skin with the precise delivery of effective ingredients such as Ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid is a famed brightening agent that works to immediate effect, inhibiting enzymes that produce excess melanin. Other solutions such as microdermabrasion are also effective and non-invasive; they exfoliate to stimulate cell renewal, which is a deep treatment that can’t always be achieved at home.
3. Use in conjunction with sunscreen
From microdermabrasion to facials and serums, every professional treatment you consult must be maintained with a good skincare regimen that should include sunscreen.
Using sun protection of an SPF 30 or higher on a daily basis can protect your skin from UV rays, and reinforce your skin barrier. Prolonged exposure to sun worsens hyperpigmentation and dark spots, which is what skin brightening products work to treat.
4. A healthy lifestyle is important
Skin brightening, lightening and whitening is only sustainable if you keep a healthy lifestyle alongside the treatments that you invest in and the products you use. Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, including antioxidants that support your skin health.
Tomatoes, avocadoes, leafy greens, salmon and mackerel are particularly delicious antioxidants!
