Scarring/Hyperpigmentation
I just got my 20% off coupon for Ulta and decided that I should try and get something to help for the dark spots/old acne scarring on my face and some new face products to try. I have a clairsonic (although I haven't been using it as much as I should). I use Mario Badescu and Origins products now (Mario Products:Orange Cleansing Soap, Glyolic Acid Toner and I have the drying lotion. Origins Products: Brighter By Nature Serum and Moisturizer and I have the Never a Dull Moment Cleanser). I haven't been the best at taking care of my skin (I'm a WAHM to an 18 month old and I'm pregnant with #2), but I've been really unhappy with it. So now I want to try and get into a routine with my skin care. (Sorry I'm rambling, I'm trying to get this done before Jordan wakes up)
What do you use/Suggest? I have a clairsonic (although I haven't been using it as much as I should).
Re: Scarring/Hyperpigmentation
Not sure what products are the best but it sounds like you have a lot of good brighteners. The most important thing i've noticed is consistency for me. You have to patient b/c it takes forever!! and SPF 30+. I use a 60+ EVERYDAY since I live in Florida.
refining scrub 2-3 x per week.
mask at least once per week
Use your clarisonic 2x per day everyday and use the serum 2 x a day everyday.
Maybe add Vit C at night?
*Most of these lighteners can cause hyperpigmentation with sun exposure!
My heart is as open as the sky.
