A glowing skin is Simple

What has been your major skin problem over time?

The last statement was from a friend that knew me well.

Difference between skin whitening, lightening and brightening?

So many times clients ask this question with bleaching in mind.

Skin whitening can also be called skin bleaching. It involves the aggressive way of changing the colour of your skin.

Skin lightening is a little bit similar to skin whitening. In skin lightening, it is a gradual and slow process of changing the complexion of your skin.

How does this occur?

Most creams and lotions that changes skin complexion contains hydroquinone and mercury which blocks the production of melanin.

Melanin is what gives people that dark complexion.

Skin brightening is a different process entirely and its the one I usually encourage. New skin cells continuously replaces dead skin cells on our skin on a frequent basis. But these dead skin cells dont fall off making the skin look dull. This is where brightening creams and exfoliators becomes very important. Creams and lotions containing Vitamin A,E,B3, alpha hydroxy acid etc are very good skin brightners as they remove these dead skin cells from our body leaving the skin looking radiant.

Knowing when to apply your anti aging, hydrating,suncreen,moisturizing, and brightening creams is also paramount in your skincare routine.

Based on experience as a pharmacist, clients who complained of dry skin may not actually have dry skin.
Most times a dehydrated skin is mistaken for dry skin

How do you tell the difference ? Its simple.

If you started having dry skin all of a sudden then you are probably having a dehydrated skin which most times is as a result of poor skincare routine, bad dieting, less water intake etc.

Dry skin on the other hand has been there over time which is due to hormonal imbalance, genetics etc. Dry skin do not have a permanent treatment unlike a dehydrated skin but the right products can help alot.
