With fall literally right around the corner, it's time to talk about skin care again. Summer was fun and all, and maybe you spent too much time in the sun, but no worries, DP DERM has exactly what you need. Whether you need to help your skin recover from the sun, shake off the seasonal blues, or get over the anxiety that comes with going back to school or work, we have something in our arsenal. Here are 4 Must-Haves for your Fall Skincare and Wellness Routine 2022. 

Brite Lite (for hyperpigmentation and sun-damage)

Let’s face it, you spent a bit too much time in the sun, didn’t you? No judgment here, so did we. Luckily we have two brilliant products in our skincare line that can help combat the pigmentation that came from spending time in the sun, the first being our Brite Lite. The brilliant thing about Brite Lite is that not only is it a great moisturizer infused with hyaluronic acid, but it is also a potent skin brightening and lightening serum. Key ingredients in Brite Lite have been shown to:

• Brighten and lighten the appearance of uneven skin tone and dark spots.
• Reduce the appearance of age spots, freckles and sun damage.
• Promote a more even and uniform looking complexion.
• Sedate pigment formation for long-lasting results.
• Impart a luminous glow for radiant looking skin.

Antioxidant Cocktail (for hyperpigmentation and sun-damage)

The other pigment-fighting weapon in our arsenal is our Antioxidant Cocktail. Antioxidant Cocktail is an anti-aging environmental shield that guards against free radical attacks. It also works great to reduce the effects of sun damage which may have come about from prolonged exposure. This specially formulated serum contains vitamin C and B3 which work as powerful antioxidants. Vitamin C is a valuable and safe anti-pigmenting compound (meaning it protects against hyperpigmentation due to sun exposure). It is also useful in preventing signs of photo-aging (aka skin changes induced by chronic UVA and UVB exposure). Vitamin B3 promotes pigment formulation, namely, melanin production and protects against redness and irritation. 

LED mask (for Seasonal Affective Disorder) 

While some welcome the changes that come with a change of season from summer to fall, many others struggle with seasonal depression, also called seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression. It is brought upon by the change of seasons and most commonly begins in late fall. Symptoms include feelings of losing interest in activities you once enjoyed, low energy and sluggishness, as well as oversleeping. Our Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. Face Mask promotes the production of serotonin, which is a naturally occurring chemical essential for sleep, wellbeing and happiness. 

People who experience seasonal affective disorder often have too much melatonin in their bodies during the winter months. Since melatonin is the hormone that regulates our sleeping and waking habits, too much melatonin can make it harder to sleep at night and make us feel groggy during the day.Melatonin production is initiated as a response to darkness, hence SAD symptoms are more severe when days are shorter and there is less natural sunlight. Using our LED face mask daily, particularly within the first two hours of waking up, can help individuals who are experiencing SAD regulate melatonin production and ease their symptoms.
