BEST OF THE BEST IN SKIN BRIGHTENING

Have age spots started to appear? Have you noticed freckles appear that weren’t there before? Do you have dull, uneven skin that seems to be discolored? As we all start to age our skin starts to loose its elasticity and collagen, this can start even in your 20′s. Sun, your environment and even hormonal changes can be to blame for this. I can honestly say that even though I am only 30 yrs old that I have been using skin brightening creams off and on in the past 3 years. Like every other woman out there I feel a tan makes me look sexier, but after tanning for a few years, I’ve noticed little spots starting to appear and therefore I am running to my nearest beauty counter!

If you are starting or have any of these problems then you may want to use a skin brightener, which can actually help you to take years off your looks. A skin brightening cream can assist in reducing those freckles,skin discolorations and age spots. It basically starts fading them thus leaving you with a brighter and more even skin tone. After a few years of having my own issues with this problem, I can honestly say I am the queen of skin brightening creams.

Here’s my top 5:

#1. ANEW LUMINOSITY ULTRA Advanced Skin Brightener – This cream from Avon comes with extra protection, SPF 15 UVA/UVB and actually lives up to its word. It promises not only to reverse but fade away those troublesome spots by Day 14. It’s definitely one of the ones I keep stocked up on, because I find it works a lot quicker then 14 days. I’ve noticed considerable results by day 4, freckles that I have had from sun damage were almost completely gone. I found that the first place it started to work was under the eyes, and if your like me, it’s exactly where you want it to work first.

#2. DARPHIN GEL-CREAM- While I have found this one a little harder to get at my local beauty counter, it’s definitely worth it if you can grab a jar. This one definitely clarifies and hydrates, you can definitely feel the difference after one application. Your skin feels softer yet tighter, and after about Day 5 you really start to see results.

#3. MALADERM- You can get this at your local drugstore. While this one does not promise instant results, it actually works quite well. The ingredients are quite user friendly with no bleaching substances. For me I found it started after a week, but once it started working, it worked quite well!

#4. NEFELI SKIN CREAM- This works wonders! However it is a little costly starting at $70 a pop. Made with Chinese herbs, it comes in two variances, night and day cream. I found when used everyday it kept your skin even and got rid of red blotches. It’s all free of bleach as well.

#5. SHISEIDO MAKEUP BRIGHTENING CREAM- This cream is basically a colorless face primer.It uses shimmer bits to create a soft and dewy look. It’s well worth $32 but it’s a little harder to get at your local drugstore however quite easy to get online. It’s perfect for wearing alone or under your makeup!

My advice is to always read the labels. Be careful about what you put on your face! Some creams are actually banned but yet somehow end up on the shelf. Several countries seem to use poisons in some of their skin brightening creams. Poisons like lead,arsenic and even mercury have been found in some creams. So buyer beware some of these can lead to nervous system damage and even death. If you have any suspicions about your face cream, do take it with you to your next doctor’s visit.
