HumiNature is happy to be able to offer skin whitening (lightening)
products that actually work. Our 3-step program has been
formulated to be successful. Please scroll down to see our product offerings that make up our system. The steps are:
- Using the HumiNature Dark
Spot Fade Gel or HumiNature
NightTime Fade Cream (alternating is best) on an nightly basis.
- Using DayTime Fade Cream
during the day to speed the fade process and, more importantly, provide
critical sun and ultraviolet light protection
- Cleansing and exfoliation that removes dead skin cells leaving
skin "brighter" and rejuvenated. Use of the HumiNature Brighten & Lighten
Face Cleanser on a daily basis and the HumiNature Papaya & Clay Skin Peel
on a weekly basis.
The basic objective of a skin lightening or skin whitening cream is to
suppress the skin's production of
melanin. Dark spots result from hyperpigmentation that can
be caused by acne scarring, pregnancy, sun exposure, hormonal changes
and other reasons. By suppressing the production of melanin,
eventually the dark spots fade and lighten causing more even skin tone
as the hyperpigmented areas return to normal.
One major factor of a skin lightening program is penetration into the
skin. This is influenced by two things. You must have an
effective formulas that delivers the active ingredient to where
it can work. The second thing that influences penetration is dead
skin cells that block penetration. The problem with many other
lightening systems is the ingredients do not reach the lower levels of
the skin where the new melanin is actually products. Reaching
those levels is not easy. A base (vegetable oil is what we use)
that aids absorption into the skin is essential. So, even if a
product has the right active ingredients, unless it has the proper
base, it will not penetrate to where it can be effective. Dead
skin cells, if not removed via exfoliation, block the absorption of the
lightening ingredients. The HumiNature Renewed Radiance Exfoliant helps
with this process. Used just once a week it safely and gently
removes those dead skin cells.
Another major factor in a lightening program is sun blocking. If
the hyperpigmented areas receive sunlight, the lightening cream will
not be as effective. To block more melanin production (which is
triggered by sunlight) an SPF factor of 15 is recommended whenever
going into the sun. Our HumiNature DayTime Fade Cream, used on a
daily basis, helps ensure that our lightening program is effective.
Using the three steps in the program,
religiously, not only lightens dark spots. It also makes a
difference in overall skin texture and even skin tone. It is
important to follow all three steps regularly to achieve the maximum
results possible with an over-the-counter system.
