  • TNS Advance serum – helps wrinkles, dark spots, skin tone!
  • ZO AOX Illuminating serum – This is your mac-daddy antioxidant serum!

Retinols:

Helps clear away all the damage skin from the inside out! They come in all different strengths. The trick is to start on the lowest dose and only use 2x week at night only, then increase as tolerated!

  • SkinMedica Retinol Complex
  • ZO Skin Brightener

SUNSCREEN:

This is non-negotiable! If you don’t use a designated spf, and you complain about pigment.. I’m going to jump through this screen and slap you right in your dark spots! Totally kidding, but you get the point! You have to use an spf, even if you work inside! And reapply when you’re in the sun! We have SO many different types of sunscreens, keep trying them, until you find one you can use daily! Here are my top picks!

  • SkinMedica Essential Defense- (tinted or non) My daily spf, that isn’t “sunscreen-y”.
  • SkinMedica Total Defense and Repair- (tinted or non) stronger, and has lots of antioxidants to protect and repair skin too! more “sunscreen-y”
  • ZO Smart Tone spf- Super popular, matches your skin tone as you rub it in.

Those are all my top products for dark spots! Don’t be overwhelmed, you don’t have to use all of these, pick 3-4 products and watch your dark spots start to fade! Or better yet, come see us for a skincare consult, and we can tell you which products would be best! Click here to book!
