As the warm notes of summer start to fade, you may be wondering why your skin isn’t looking as vibrant and refreshed as you feel.  Even if you’ve done all the right things to protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays like donning a hat and wearing sunscreen, you might be noticing some unwanted summer souvenirs like sun spots and discoloration. Throw in exposure to chlorine, wind and salt water and your skin might feel weathered and just plain dull.  Treat your skin to a revised post-summer routine to deal with hyperpigmentation while adding radiance to give you a gorgeous glow into fall. 

 Cleansing is the most important first step for both your morning and evening skincare routines.   CLR Foam Cleanser from Dp Dermaceuticals is the perfect start for your brightening routine.  An amazing blend of honey, herbal and fruit extracts, amino acids and salts neutralize p-acne bacteria and regulate oil production, resulting in calm, clear skin with an even tone and texture.  By clarifying and refining, CLR Foam Cleanser will improve dull skin.  By gently exfoliating the surface of the skin, you’ll see a noticeable difference due to the cellular turnover.  With anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, this gem lightens the look of skin pigmentation related to inflamed acne.  Amino acids help maintain barrier function, plasticity and hydration which help in visibly firming the skin’s appearance as well as reverse visible skin damage. 

Another key product to help brighten your skin is Brite Lite from Dp Dermaceuticals.  Your strong ally in fighting pigmentation, it is ideal for skin that has suffered sun damage or other hyperpigmentation.  Uneven skin tone is no match for the powers of kojic acid and licorice root.  These potent pigment regulators are effective in sedating excess melanin production and fading the sun spots that you already have.  Not to mention, kojic acid and licorice root have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties to help provide relief from acne. Brite Lite sedates pigment formation for results that will last and is gentle enough to use in both your morning and evening skincare regimens. 

Containing the most potent form of Vitamin A without a prescription, Retinal Active from Dp Dermaceuticals is a complete skincare game changer.  Retinaldehyde, this superstar form of Vitamin A, effectively reduces wrinkles and other signs of aging. Retinal Active is instrumental in reversing, preventing and repairing the signs of intrinsically and extrinsically fueled breakdown to battle skin damage that is caused by the exposure to sun as well as aging.  It can strengthen and support normalized function of the skin while targeting bacterial proliferation.  To enjoy maximum benefits, apply Retinal Active in the evening on cleansed and dry skin every third day for two weeks to build up tolerance. 

Brite Lite 3D Sculptured Face Mask from Dp Dermaceuticals  promotes brightening your complexion while you relax and take a spa break at home.  Designed to reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone as well as blemishes and dark spots, Brite Lite Face Masks also help the skin suppress potential pigment from forming.  Ideal for all skin types, it is particularly helpful for people who deal with problematic or acne-prone skin. Watch as age spots, dark spots, freckles and sun damage become less visible. 

Don’t mourn the end of summer. Look forward to a new season and rejuvenated skin that is refreshed and bright.
