    ASPRINE MASK 
    I came across this aspirin mask with Michelle Phan's video a few years ago, and i tried it. Didn't saw significant improvements, but at that time i wasn't consistent with it.
    I tried again a few weeks ago, and i'm pleased. It really helps with inflammation, pigmentation and helps even out the skintone. I also notice a difference in my comedonal acne, The bumps are less and blackheads seems to be decreasing. I must say that along with once a week mask, i also started the aspirin tone, and OMG it has done wonders! Even my hyperpigmentation is improving significantly!
    I use 2 aspirins (500mg), a few drops of water to break the aspirins and honey to keep it all together and give extra benefits for the skin.

Acne Treatments

Use baking soda. Mix equal parts baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply the paste onto acne individually, not over the entire face. Dip a Q-Tip into the baking soda mixture and apply that way.

  • Leave the baking soda paste on your face for about 10 minutes, or until dry.

  • Wash off with very cold water. It will help close the pores significantly.

  • Repeat at most two times a day. If your skin becomes irritated or excessively oily due to use, make sure to discontinue treatment.

    1.  Try using lemon juice as an acne remedy. Cut a lemon in half and gently rub the open-side of the lemon onto the acne. The stinging feeling means it's working. Lemons contain citric acid, which attacks the bacteria that cause acne.

    • Make sure to wipe/wash the lemon juice off, and use sunscreen afterwards. Citric acid can bleach the skin and puts it at significantly higher likelihood of sun damage.

My Experience

I have been using sandalwood powder on my face forever. Its and amazing face pack for refreshing my face, helping me to clear up the blemishes and overall for my skin.As for the results, after the first time, like with all masks, I felt really good about it. Did it's job, cleaned my skin, made it all smooth. Then the next morning, I woke up, and UNLIKE all masks I've tried, my skin was still smooth. I wasn't sure if the sandalwood was it. So I tried again 3 days later. Man, oh, man, same thing.

After about a week, I noticed my skin wasn't really as clogged. That said, I also stopped using moisturizer and as for make-up, I only use concealer, but I felt like a huge factor of my clean pores was the mask.
After I was using the mask, during the night and in the morning, my skin felt unusually clean and smooth, but not tight and stripped of its own oils

Tip For Removing Acne Scars

 Tip For Removing Acne Scars

Overview


SafriDerm Skin Brightener Cream

When creating a product the base ingredients are just as important as the active ones. It is important to choose proper carriers and liposomes to ensure that the active ingredients are absorbed deeply into the skin. It is also wise to include effective preservatives and moisturizers to ensure minimal skin irritation. SafriDerm Skin Brightener Cream contains the highest concentrations of active ingredients tolerated by the skin. The use of special base ingredients and high quality actives is what brings out the true effectiveness of the formula and sets us apart from other manufacturers.

How does SafriDerm work?

Your skin colour comes from natural pigment called melanin. Melanin pigment is synthesized in specialized cytoplasmic organelles called melanosomes. Within the melanosome the enzymatic conversion of the amino acid tyrosine to melanin is catalyzed by the enzyme tyrosinase. The melanosomes in darker portions of the skin are more active than those found in normal areas of the body. The ingredients found in our formula counter this process in multiple ways by dealing with not only the melanosomes, but also the enzyme tyrosinase. With the help of exfoliation agents, the initial lightening effects of the complexion can be often being seen within 2 weeks.

In order to naturally fade the appearance of dark skin spots and obtain an even complexion, you must dedicate time and patience to the process. Results will vary based on your particular skin condition and the amount of sun exposure received. Though initial improvement is often seen in just 2 weeks, full results generally appear after 1-2 months of regular use.

Licorice Extract

The licorice plant serves many purposes in skin care. Licorice is a lipophilic extract obtained of the root of the Licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra L. Developed as a whitening agent for cosmetics that is used as an anti inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and skin whitening. Glabridin, one of the main components of Licorice, may inhibit melanogenesis by one of two mechanisms:
  • Inhibition of the production of active oxygen species, as active oxygen is one of the species that induces skin pigmentation.
  • Inhibition of tyrosinase: human tyrosinase is an essential enzyme which regulates the production of melanin.

Alpha-Arbutin

ALPHA-ARBUTIN is a pure, water soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient. ALPHA-ARBUTIN promotes lightening and an even skin tone on all skin types. ALPHA-ARBUTIN blocks epidermal melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of tyrosine and Dopa. Structurally, ALPHA-ARBUTIN (IUPAC name 4-hydroxyphenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside) is a α-glucoside, The α-glucosidic bond offers higher stability and efficacy than the β-form in the related beta-arbotin. This leads to a skin lightening active that acts faster and more efficiently than existing single components, minimizes liver spots and reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) in Skin Lightening

Skin lightening products have become more popular around the world. With the increased number of lightening, whitening and brightening products, questions have arisen as to the safety of some skin bleaching ingredients.

The interest in lightening products remains strong, which means that there is a need for other ingredients that achieve good lightening results. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is a water soluble derivative of vitamin C, known to show evidence of skin lightening abilities. Ascorbic acid has several documented physiological and pharmacological effects on the skin. Ascorbic acid acts as an inhibitor of melanin formation and also plays a role in collagen formation. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is and pharmacological activities. MAP has been widely used in various cosmetics because of its advantageous properties such as inhibitory effects on melanogenesis, promotion of collagen synthesis, and prevention of lipid peroxidation.

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate

A fungal metabolic product, kojic acid inhibits the catecholase activity of tyrosinase, which is the rate-limiting, essential enzyme in the biosynthesis of the skin pigment melanin. Melanocytes treated with kojic acid become nondendritic, with decreased melanin content. Additionally, it scavenges reactive oxygen species releases excessively form cells or generated in tissue or blood. Kojic acid is now used extensively as a natural alternative to hydroquinone.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the crushed bean of the jojoba shrub (Simmondsia Chinenis). The jojoba shrub is native to the Sonoran Desert of north-western Mexico and Neighbouring regions in Arizona and southern California. The chemical structure of jojoba oil is different from that of other vegetable oils. Rather than being an oil, it is actually is a polyunsaturated liquid wax that is similar to sperm whale oil, though without the fishy odour. It is made of fatty acids as well as esters composed entirely of straight chain alcohols. Waxes of this type are difficult to synthesize.

Jojoba oil has many uses in a wide verity of industries. It is an effective cleanser, conditioner, moisturizer, and softener for the skin and hair. Jojoba oil is similar to sebum which is secreted by human sebaceous glands to lubricate and protect skin and hair. When sebum production decreases due to age, pollutants or environmental stresses, jojoba oil can be used to replicate sebum oil. Jojoba oil is a nontoxic, noncomedgenic and hypoallergenic substance. It has been widely used for decades in cosmetics, with no reported adverse effects.

Tamanu Oil (Phospholipids)

Tamanu oil possesses a unique capacity to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing and the growth of healthy skin. Tamanu oil promotes healthy, clear and blemish-free skin.

Oil of Tamanu contains three basic classes of lipids, neutral lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids. The oil also contains a unique fatty acid called calophyllic acid, and a novel antibiotic lactone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent called calophylloide. These and other components of tamanu oil including anti-inflammatory coumarins, account for some of the oil's beneficial activity. Oil of tamanu is suitable for general skin and cosmetic purposes. The oil's unusual absorption, its mild and pleasant aroma, and its luxurious feel make it ideal for use in lotions, creams, ointments and other cosmetic products. Considering that tamanu is a potent healing agent with proven benefits.
