Our basic care helps to reduce them: aloe gel, hyaluronic acid and our serums
Dehydrated skin can promote the appearance of dark spots. Our skincare routines, combined with more specific treatments, will help you restore the hydrolipidic film.
The spots are generated in the basal layer of the epidermis where the melanin-secreting glands are located. The coloring of the skin when exposed to the sun (tanning) is the protection created by melanin. When cellular disorders occur (skin degeneration), more colored areas appear.
Exfoliation reduces the appearance of dark spots and scars by refining the epidermis and stimulating the dermis, which then thickens and gives a plumping effect. Dark spots don't disappear overnight. They lighten over time, as the surface layer of the skin is refined and the regenerated basal layer rises to the surface.
Exfoliation and essential oils also help calibrate cellular metabolism. The aromatic action of essential oils, particularly cineole, helps accelerate this process of detachment and regeneration of dead cells.
Key points:
- Some treatments are not recommended in summer ( see below )
-
- After exfoliation, do not expose yourself to the sun.
- Don't focus on spots, focus on complete care to achieve uniformity. And, be patient!
What are spots?
These are localized skin discolorations of varying size that appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, hands, shoulders, or arms. They are linked to excess melanin production. Typically, these small, round spots appear in people over 40, after years of sun exposure. However, they can also sometimes appear in younger people due to intense or prolonged exposure.
Why do we develop spots on our skin?
Brown spots are mainly caused by intense and repeated exposure to the sun, but also by a physiological reaction to an overly acidic system, thus causing senescence spots (age spots). Other hormonal, genetic or other factors can cause spots that can develop dermatological abnormalities. Monitoring is necessary. If they seem to evolve (increase in size, change in color, bleeding, enlargement, etc.), they must be treated by health professionals.
What is melanin?
Melanin is a pigment produced by skin cells, giving them their more or less dark coloration (from the Greek melanos = black). Its role is, among other things, to help the skin protect itself from ultraviolet rays from the sun. This pigment (melanocyte) is present in the basal layer of the epidermis, the upper layer of the skin.
Melanin comes from a very common amino acid in the body called tyrosine. This tyrosine is transformed into dopa and then dopamine thanks to an enzyme called tyrosinase.
Melanin is produced by melanocytes. These are cells located in the deep part of the epidermis, just in contact with the basement membrane on which the epidermis rests and which separates it from the dermis.
Melanocytes are cells that have tentacle-like extensions that extend up between the cells of the epidermis. Through these extensions, melanocytes provide the epidermal cells with melanin, protecting them from solar radiation. Skin cells have a limited lifespan, as it takes 28 days for the skin to renew itself. Aging cells eventually die and form a layer of keratin that gradually flakes off. This explains why the tan gradually disappears.
After years of exposure, melanin can concentrate in certain areas of the skin and pigment it more.
Please note that lightening treatments are always done in the evening, so as not to defeat the purpose.
The sun is the determining factor and promotes the appearance of these unwanted effects. The skin will benefit advantageously from the active ingredients during the night.
Other product ideas
Other elixirs, such as Myrrh (rich in antioxidants) or gold serum, are particularly effective in helping the skin regain or maintain its beautiful, even luminosity.
AHAs (fruit acids) also have lightening properties, through their desquamating and therefore regenerating actions. (Autumn and winter)
Ritual
Here is a protocol to follow for at least 1 month if you have small unwanted spots.
Morning :
- Surface cleaning with your Cleansing Oil
- Hydration with your favorite floral water
- Soak-in cleansing, to boost hydration and restore the hydrolipidic film, essential for good protection.
- Hydration with your favorite floral water
- Nutrition with an antioxidant serum. It's up to you to choose the one that suits you best ( Rose serum , Neroli serum , Vetiver serum, Rose Jasmine serum , Neutral serum , Myrrh Elixir , Gold serum ) or simply Jojoba oil
- Protection with butter. Vanilla Shea is specially designed to protect skin from its environment. Other butters, such as Cocoa , are available for skin that is less tolerant of Shea. For porcelain-like, fragile, and thin skin, sun protection is essential all year round.
Evening :
- Surface cleaning with your cleaning oil
- Hydration with your favorite floral water
- Soak-in cleansing, to boost hydration and restore the hydrolipidic film, essential for good communication
- Localized exfoliation: Claripro (fall and winter only)
- With Exfopur , using micro-epi-dermabrasion technique. You can add 1 drop of the Claripro formula with your Exfopur
- With the fruit mask (apple or grape), on the area. You can add 1 drop of the Claripro formula to your mask.
- With the Exfopro formula, at the rate of one drop in a little baking soda and applied very precisely and locally on the stain (we are talking about coloring without dermatological abnormality).
- Brightening mask:
- With a gel, in the case of seborrheic-prone skin, mix 1 drop of the Claripro formula with a teaspoon of Aloe gel and 1 drop of Jojoba oil. Apply to the entire face and massage until completely absorbed after a few minutes of rest (enough to soak the colored areas well). Finish your treatment by spraying your floral water and your finishing serum.
- With honey , for all skin types! Honey combined with the Claripro formula works wonders. You can apply pure honey every day to stimulate cell regeneration and, every two or three times, add 1 drop of the Claripro formula. As a mask, it rinses off with water.
- With Exfopur, if you want to perform immediately and after performing your micro-epi-dermabrasion technique, perform your imbibitive cleansing before applying a new layer, this time mixed with a few drops of your serum and 1 to 3 drops of your Claripro formula. As a mask for 12 to 20 minutes. You rinse, moisturize (floral water, gel) and apply a suitable finishing serum.
Your skin is talking to you. Listen to it. If it tingles, feels hot, red, or dry, adapt your protocol according to its sensitivity.
Are all these formulas effective?
It all depends on how long the spots have been there & their causes (mentioned above). According to our experience & the testimonies you have received, yes it is possible to limit their appearance & reduce their appearance.
In summary
- Our serums help fade pigment spots and prevent their reappearance because they are rich in powerful antioxidants (rosemary oleoresin and natural vitamin E, among others) and therefore serve this role well.
- Far ahead, the Gold serum wins the prize for having received astonishing testimonies on this subject in its favor: gold has a hot thermal action which causes the stimulation of cell renewal to break down the accumulation of melanin on the surface. Gold also brings luminosity.
- Myrrh Elixir , which contains carrot essential oil and also generates beautiful results on the appearance of spots.
- C laripro , is the pure aromatic formula which contains essential oils known for their anti-pigmentation properties such as celery whose phthalides act directly on brown spots to see them fade. Apply in the evening, never before sun exposure ( hence why we remove it from the shelves in spring and summer) . Do your complete ritual protocol then apply Claripro: one drop diluted in a drop of serum and rub into the spot. Warning : this formula does not smell of the sky like our other treatments but rather of celery... carrot... a little of both!
- Exfopur , (clay paste with volcanic rock dust & purifying formula) allows our gentle abrasive friction technique, manually adjustable in intensity, to carry out at home a uniform, safe and painless micro-epi-dermabrasion. This allows to gradually reduce skin imperfections, restoring all its freshness to the skin. We can carry out a local "sanding" on the spots daily or as needed, depending on our skin. For home micro-epi-dermabrasion, once a week.
- Aloe gel that has a lightening connotation.
- Hyaluronic acid to add deep hydration.
- Not forgetting Makeup: using a foundation or concealer can be a good option to camouflage or reduce pigment spots, especially when it is natural with good ingredients (so as not to clog pores and make the situation worse) & antioxidant.
