Gals, and those few guys, help me to save a man I work with, His skin has dark brown sun spots that baisically cover his entire face except for the white circles around his eyes from the sunglasses  . His face looks tan but when you look closer you can see dark blotches of pigmentation around his forehead, near his ears, and a large spot on his cheeck. What product should I reccommend to him (besides sun block) that will help to fade the spots?
 If you need any more information ask away. It really bothers him, and knowing his macho persona, he won't buy/ask for products on his own.
thanks!!! |

Hi there...
I think one of the best solutions would be a skin peel. I just did one from a company online called Skin Culture. I love the results. My skin is looking great and really smooth. On their website they mention that one or a series of peels can reduce marks, skin problems.
This is one suggestion, but I would want more information on what type of problem he has and why it is occuring.
Good Luck |

| Sounds like he has some pretty serious sun damage - dark blotches, hyperpigmentation,etc. Good thing you are getting him to use sunscreen. If he's really diligent about it, there are studies that show regular sunscreen use can reverse sun damage (or rather allow the skin to repair itself while being protected from further damage.) That said, Retin-A products (been around for 25 years now) have been proven in many clinical tests to repair and reverse sun damage. But they do make your skin sun-sensitive so he will HAVE to keep up with that sunscreen. Also, Vitamin C serums will protect his skin from getting further damage by preventing the oxidation process that occurs when unprotected skin is exposed to UV light. I have had best results in clearing up hyperpigmentation by using C+ Firming Serum (cellularskinrx.com)each morning and Retin-A 0.025% cream at night. Also, if you don't want to go the prescription route with the Retin-A, a good AHA cream (glycolic acid, lactic acid)will help with hyperpigmentation but will take longer. Also makes the skin more sensitive to sun though - so ditto on the sunscreen comments from above. |
