Step 1: Prevent

Free radicals are the common enemy to clear and even skin tones, and they have to be neutralized with antioxidants. In the morning, after cleansing and toning, apply four to five drops of White & Elm Rosehip & Argan Antioxidant Serum to a dry face, neck, and chest. This antioxidant serum helps offer your skin environmental protection against free radicals while simultaneously reducing the appearance of discoloration, fine lines, and wrinkles. Enriched with Vitamin C dense Rosehip, Argan and Evening Primrose oils this serum is light on the skin yet intensely moisturizing. . Since recent studies have shown that free radicals may play a part in the onset of discoloration, it’s more important than ever to shield your skin from these environmental aggressors.

Step 2: Correct

Morning and night, apply one to two pumps of MD Complete Dark Spot Corrector to your dry face—and any other areas you may experience discoloration. This multi-layer treatment helps to reduce the appearance of stubborn discoloration—and prevent reoccurrence with continued use! Formulated with Hydroquinone that helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation the corrector works by exfoliating the skin’s surface—making it important to avoid sun exposure when using it. Which brings us to step three…

Step 3: Protect

While serums and creams are great for diminishing the appearance of skin discoloration, if you truly want to make a difference you’ll want to protect your skin against public enemy #1…the sun. UV rays are the leading source of skin discoloration—they can even make existing discoloration worse! This is why it’s so important to wear a sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF (meaning it protects you against both UVA and UVB rays) each and every day—and to reapply every two hours! Think you need to choose between your makeup and your sun protection? Think again! Each morning as the final step in your skin care routine—and the first in your makeup application—reach for Aveeno® Protect + Hydrate Lotion Sunscreen With Broad Spectrum For Face Sweat Resistant - SPF 50. This lightweight, tinted sunscreen provides broad-spectrum mineral protection while enhancing the skin’s natural tone and boosting the appearance of radiance.
