Skin Lightening - Is It Safe?
Skin Lightening - Is It Safe?

Many people who suffer from skin conditions affecting pigmentation can be self-conscious of their uneven skin tone. Conditions such as vitiligo present themselves as changes in skin pigmentation. This can create patches of different coloured skin on the body. Equally, birthmarks and moles can sometimes be a nuisance if they are on an obvious part of the body. Conditions concerning the changing of skin pigmentation can make a person extremely self-conscious as it is very difficult to cover up the effects of such conditions. It is vital that you seek the advice of an expert dermatologist for a complete diagnosis of these skin conditions and follow any necessary course of treatment advised.

 

How Does Skin Lightening Work?

 

Skin lightening is a process whereby safe substances are applied to the skin in order to lessen the pigmentation of darker patches of skin. For example, if someone has a birthmark on their neck then skin whitening treatment can be applied so that the birthmark loses its pigmentation and the skin tone appears more even.

 

Is it Safe?

 

SkinAu offers a Skin Lightening Pack which contains no dangerous or harmful chemicals. Its ingredients include herbal extracts such as ginseng and seaweed which are calming and soothing. The essence of this treatment is that it balances the skin's pH whilst enhancing skin tissue.

 

The Lightening Day and Night Moisturisers use enzymes to de-pigment unwanted areas of skin and they also slow down melanin synthesis in specific areas where the cream is applied.

 

One of the most innovative parts of this treatment is the Lightening Mask which contains Papain. This is a specific enzyme extracted from the unripe Papaya fruit which promotes excellent turnover of the cells in the top layer of your skin. This keeps the skin healthy, clean and rejuvenated. The release of Papain on your skin removes all of the dead cells whilst protecting the healthy cells underneath.

 

The important thing to note is that SkinAu's products are tailored specifically to your skin-type and so it is important to receive a consultation of skin analysis to ensure you are treating the correct conditions. Skin lightening with SkinAu's products is completely safe; there are no harsh chemicals and the use of enzymes promotes the skin's natural defences.
