Dark spot lightener product from nature

Alex (Jenn) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:00:00 +0000

I have a dark spot on my right cheek and I’m trying to figure out what to do with it. While I’m not really vain, this one thing bugs me. It’s about a dime size spot on my upper right cheek, below my eye. Makeup doesn’t quite hide it, there seems to be a lingering shadow. So, I’ve been looking at lightening creams and treatments, but I’m still not sure what I should use that will really work.

I did find this cream today and am interested because it’s based on natural ingredients. It uses and enzymes from a mushroom found in the Swiss Alps. They are targeted to break down the melanin (color) in the skin which helps dissipate the dark spots. You can see more on their site at Luminaze or check out a Nordstroms here in the USA.

Light therapy for acne and skin aging, plus pain?

Have you seen the light therapy treatments for whitening teeth? Here’s another light source, but it’s for your skin.

The acne light treatment from Tanda is intriguing to me, because I don’t like the idea of using a lot of chemicals on my skin to get rid of an imbalance that might be causing acne.

Acording to their website, Tanda offers the ONLYat-home device with interchangeable treatment heads. Once you have purchased any solution-based device kit from them, you can purchase any of their treatment heads to expand your system! Tanda’s acne light therapy has clinically proven results too, without the side effects common with chemical treatments.

Here’s what I appreciate though, this system also provides age fighting benefits in addition to their acne removal system. With the change of an attachment head, the light begins boosting your skin’s collagen and elastin.

And um……. it offers pain fighting benfits? Holy moley! Check out their pain page where they say that using this kind of warmlight treatment for body pain actually results in;

72% decrease in pain
36% decrease in swelling
60% overall improvement

Plus,. they offer a 30 day money back guarantee!
