I am in need of anyones advice, I love to
tan, however I do not love sunspots I get
on my face. Does anyone know a tried and true
method for lightning them??? Help please....

I would love to hear everyone's advice as well. I love the sun but hate the dreaded sunspots as well.

Have a few of those. Find the Alpha Hydro souffle which Fryl recommended works well. As does a combination of Origins Starting Over (d/c) and Night a Mins lotion.
Another alterantive is Avon Anew Luminosity Ultra.

Have found the Chanel (I cannot pronounce or spell it) and Clinique Stop Signs do NOT work. Neither does Origins Grin from Year To Year or Make a Difference.

I believe products which contain quinine or a derivative thereof to work over a period of time.

Beware of any ethnic bleaching creams, or certain skin care products from the Dominican Republic or Thailand as they contain mercury.

Thanks Jeff, You are always helpful

i'm told that microderm abrasion will help fade them.

Solace,

do you know about how much it is? Is
it just 1 visit? thanks in advance

Holli,

Microdermabrasion costs $300 per visit (Connecticut prices). I have had it done once.
Origin's Modern Friction does the SAME THING at home for $36 and is not at all irritating!!! I do it right after shaving 3 times a week and love it.

I highly recommend it. And there is no redness or swelling afterwards.

I stay away from the sun. No prematuring aging for this girl!

Jeff,

That sounds a lot cheaper do they
sell that in drugstores? I hope it helps
fade them

I use the at-home mircroderm version from BeautiControl which retails for 50.00 unless you can find someone who has the discount and can get it cheaper for you. I've used the microderm 3 times now, and my big sunspot is fading on my cheek.

Holli,

The Origins Modern Friction really does work.
You merely spread a thin layer on your face, work it in using a circular motion, splash some water on, lather and rinse. You can rinse if off in the shower.
I had been using the Clinique equivalent, but you had to wait for it to dry and then remove it with a face cloth. Too much work. They both cost about the same. My two nephews think it's cool and are addicted.


Solace,
Beauti Control products are EXCELLENT! I still use many of them. They're economical and produce great results. I have to find a new rep since mine defected to Freeze.

Well Jeff, you can order directly from my "beautipage" and have it sent right to you. (or anyone else for that matter!) it's:

www.beautipage.com/magnedoodle

or you can become your own consultant, until the end of the month they are running the $99.00 promotion, which is an awesome deal.

Although one thing of advice about microderm....once you use it you need to use sunblock or avoid sun for a few days...I waited 36 hours and went 20 minutes in the tanner and now my face is CRISPY (the most painful emoticon I could think of...)

Solace,

How cool. Thanks. I have a question for you.
If I sign up as a consultant, do I have to place an order every month or so. Is there a yearly quota like Jafra and Avon?
