" Many would feel that the day moisturizer with SPF is multi-purpose and can also be used as a night cream . This is actually a common misconception "

succumb to skin brightening regime, it is also important to avoid negligence and have the SPF protection all the time when you are at outdoor. Simply because the UVA & UVB rays can wipe-out everything that you have invested in the past like the 3-basic steps for good skincare regimen ( Cleansing, Activation, Protection), within 1 hour. Many would feel that the day moisturizer with SPF is multi-purpose and can also be used as a night cream . This is actually a common misconception. Day time moisturizer with SPF is strictly for day time use and night cream is strictly for night time. The logic behind this is that, some of the moisturizer with sunscreen nowadays have combination of both physical and chemicals sunscreen elements. The physical sunscreen ( or sometimes called as sunblock ) typically consists of mica, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide and the chemical sunscreen consists of Oxybenzone and Avobenzone.

Sunscreen, whether it is physical or chemical element, shouldn’t be present on your skin for long period as it can degrade your skin and causing your skin to age even faster after some period of time, Therefore, remember to wash it off completely at night.

The ampoules are appropriate for all skin types and should be administered at night time at face and neck after cleansing. Allow to stay for complete absorption before proceeding with night moisturizer

" It is claimed by Swiss line that, the fairer and spotless complexion will be achieved in just 4 weeks after using the Lightening Cure Ampoules "

( recommended to use the Cell Shock White White-Total Lift Day & Night Emulsion moisturizer ) and avoid the eye area as far as practicable. All Swiss line products are made to the finest quality, skin-friendly, detoxifying ( as they contain botanical extracts ) and anti-ageing. It is claimed by Swiss line that, the fairer and spotless complexion will be achieved in just 4 weeks after using the Lightening Cure Ampoules. Many people neglected the facts that the skin itself also has a memory apart from the brain and if you stop using it, the pigmentation may return back.

The Smooth Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream Series Review - Pt 1

Somehow, most of the brightening skincare products in the market claim to aim one or more aspects of skin pigmentation / discoloration as to give overall fairer complexion, but the truth is very few had made quite the mark as there are always a boundary to what they can actually do.

Most products are only effective for temporary basis and by the law of conventional wisdom or law of cosmetology as you may call it if you like, it is almost unlikely you will get fairer skin complexion just by a single product.

" According to Neutrogena, once the signals for the melanin production is halted, some other signals may still succeeded in getting through "

Let’s look at the melanin, if the melanin factor (which causes people to have hyperpigmentation and dull skin ) formation is suppressed, unfortunately other factors will start to work faster as to generate more melanin by naturally responding to our own bodies’ defense mechanism. This is because the synthesis process from the melanin itself has a natural auto feedback function. According to Neutrogena, once the signals for the melanin production is halted, some other signals may still succeeded in getting through. The real challenge is, we can always disrupt the signals for the melanin production with the right formula and this new Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream Range is here to offer. Quoting the vitamin C as a good illustration. Although the melanin production is still in progress, the vitamin C addition obviously can hamper its transfer by stimulating the cells exfoliation process that consists melanin, similar to the diversion strategy.

To summarize, for the longer term fairer skin effects, you really require a series of skin lightening products as it is almost impossible to excute that single blow by just a single product. Now, we can count on the new Neutrogena Fine Fairness Cream Series to perform the job.

The Cell Shock Series is targeted mainly for anti-aging solutions / repair whereas the Cell Shock White Series is for skin lightening / brightening effect for fairer skin complexion but not entirely leaving behind its anti aging properties.

The Cell Shock White series, which is the highlight for this article, is actually Swiss line’s fair skin whitening series unveiled in 2010 by combining its anti-aging cellular therapy with its cutting edge

" The Cell Shock Series is targeted mainly for anti-aging solutions / repair whereas the Cell Shock White Series is for skin lightening / brightening effect "

whitening technology and at this moment of writing, it has 7 products altogether in this series. Cell Shock White works on the belief that whitening goes beyond the conventional of targeting melanin and reducing pigmentation to achieve a fairer skin complexion, as we also need to remove the open pores, skin redness and oily surfaces in particularly. These imperfections at the skin texture will not reflect light efficiently thus causing your skin to look dull. According to Swiss line, its Cell Shock White series are touted to give you a fairer skin complexion on face apart from providing you the anti-aging action by combating the pigmentation disorders, pores size reduction and the detoxification and re-texturizing of skin. The story on the 1st Cell Shock series goes back to 1989, where it was launched with its signature ingredient called Cellactel 2 Complex. The new ingredient in Cell Shock White series is now being called the Cellactel 2 White Complex, a merging between the Rumex Occidentalis, Biomimetic Peptide and vitamin C with the original Cellactel 2 Complex.

Fast Acting Idealist Illuminator Serum By Estee Lauder - 3/3

You will love the aroma from the Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator Serum, the aroma is enchanting with fruity–citrus scent. For better result, apply it before the moisturizer and it can also be used together with the Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher, another hot gem by Estée Lauder.

In fact, the Idealist Illuminator range has 2 products under its belt – the Even Skin Tone Illuminator for fair skin complexion on face and neck and also the Cooling Eye Illuminator which is for getting rid of

" It is a fast acting serum and praised by many users, but the only drawback is the product does not come with shimmer which is a favorite to most women nowadays "

dark rings and puffiness. It has been said that the Cooling Eye Illuminator is the first illuminator that comes with swirled ceramic-tip applicator. This Idealist Illuminator serum range by Estée Lauder is suitable for both sexes, all ages and cultures. According to Estée Lauder clinical results, after applying this fast serum, 62% of women exhibited a substantial improvement in skin tone with fairer skin complexion over a period of just 2 weeks. After continued of use, the skin will more translucent, supple and fairer in complexion. It is a fast acting serum and praised by many users, but the only drawback is the product does not come with shimmer which is a favorite to most women nowadays and maybe Estée Lauder has its own good reason for doing that we don’t yet know about. Another drawback is that the price is on the higher side and it comes with 3 different sizes, the 3.4 oz, 1.7 oz and 1.0 oz.

Another thing that I reckon about this fair skin complexion serum is that its formula contains lots of plant extracts such as the Turmeric Root Extract, Bran Extract, Grapefruit Peel Extract, Mulberry Root Extract, Cucumber Fruit Extract and the Gentian Root Extract. The Gentian Root Extract is often use as another substitute for Green Tea extract, which can do the same excellent job for free radicals blocking caused by UV rays.

Women nowadays are no longer content with just the white skin even if they are born ethnically with fair skin complexion. There is always a feeling of discontent on the dark spots and discolorations with radiance and firmness being the key to younger and attractive appearance. Lancome quickly address this issue with the findings from its laboratories’ research that another factor comes in play apart from the aging. It is the collagen fibers that can also cause yellowing of skin.

The glycation effect at the collagen fibers is said to destroy the skin color and luminosity and to make matter worse, is exacerbated by conditions like exposure to harmful

" The glycation effect at the collagen fibers is said to destroy the skin color and luminosity "

UV rays, cigarette smoke and the ageing after mid 30’s of age. Glycation is a development where the renegade sugar ( glucose or fructose ) and protein molecules combine together without the proper control action from enzyme forming a messy tissue giving rise to inflexible, discoloration and wrinkling. Glycation is the result from high sugar level diet and eating of overcooked food, not ruling out the barbecue meat. As a matter of fact, having dull & wrinkling skin pale into insignificance if they are to compare with what high sugar level diet can actually do to us, it can cause very disturbing consequences from cataracts, pancreas / liver failure and Alzheimer.
