To reduce Hyperpigmentation, Dark Spots and Melasma you need a well rounded anti-pigmentation skincare regimen that incorporates skin lightening agents with the proper balance of skin regeneration, hydration, exfoliation, prepping, and protecting. Together these factors synergistically aid in removing hyperpigmentation and maintaining lasting results. CAUTION!!!!! Skin is so individualized and what right for one person may not be right for the next so I’ve listed several top-notch products for you here but you only need one product from each category. Below find all the recommendations made throughout the video to help you get rid of unwanted dark marks or brown patches.

Lifestyle Changes:
Drastically Decrease Soy in diet sorry to my soy latter lovers. Soy has an estrogenic component in it and can turn on the alpha MSH pathway.
Choose an anti-inflammatory diet (minimize soy/nuts/corn/etc) rich in antioxidants

Hair Grooming- Keep Hair Dryer away from your skin as heat activates melanocytes
Facial hair- step away from the tweezers and stop picking

No Smoking of any kind/ No Vaping- nicotine will deposit more pigment in the skin.
Hot Yoga, Sauna, Try and cool off the car before entering if it's hot out

Compliance is key because correction can take anywhere from 1 month to 3+ months. Depending on the individual.
