They are the result of "hyperpigmentation", over production of skin melanin, the coloring pigment of the skin, that is stimulated when the skin is exposed to the ultra violet rays (from the sun or a tanning booth). Hyperpigmentation is usually aggravated by 2 factors combined together: sun exposure and hormonal changes such as birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, pregnancy and menopause. <BR>The first step in treating hyperpigmentation of the skin is to prevent it whenever possible by using adequate sunscreen especially if pregnant or susceptible to any hormonal changes. If someone in your family has the tendency to develop hyperpigmentation, chances are you will too. If you just discovered some spots on your skin, act now. The sooner you do, the more chances you have of taking care of the problem successfully. <BR> <BR>The only skin lightening agent recognized by the FDA is hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is an antioxidant that interferes with the melanin production of the skin. M.D. Formulations has developed a skin bleaching gel that combines hydroquinone and glycolic acid. The results are very positive, the only drawback is that hydroquinone is drying and can irritate the skin when used for long periods of time, making it more is difficult to use on large areas. <BR> <BR>There are also new, non FDA approved ingredients (meaning the ingredients are not recognized in the US for the value they claim, but may be recognized in other countries) that are arriving on the market. These ingredients are naturally derived, often less irritating and can allow a longer and larger application. Decleor-Paris has formulated a Vitamin C based lightening program which brings positive results in fighting irregular pigmentation and diminishing colored marks.</font><br clear="left"> </td></tr> <tr><td VALIGN=TOP ><img src="image/line.jpg"><font face="Arial,Helvetica" SIZE=-1><dl> <dt><p><a href="sbhpa.html">Hyperpigmentation Decleor Whitening Care: Sun Exposed Skin and Dark Spots</a> <dt><p><a href="sbhpd.html">Hyperpigmentation MD Formulations Anti-Aging Care</a> <br> </dl></font> <table BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=7 WIDTH="400" BORDERCOLOR="#000000"> <tr><td VALIGN=TOP><font face="Arial,Helvetica"> <img src="image/line.jpg"><br> <p align="center"><b><a href="/cgi-bin/artemis.bat?view">View Basket</a> | <a href="https://www.eHarmonie.com/cgi-bin/artemis.bat?showOrder" target="_top">Checkout</a></b></p> <p align="center"><b><A HREF="/welcome.html" target="_top">eHarmonie.com Home</a></b></p> <p align="left"><img src="image/line.jpg"><br><br> <font SIZE=-2> <A HREF="/welcome.html" target="_top">eHarmonie.com Home</a>  | <a href="/catalog.html">Shop for Products</a>  |  <a href="/gift.html">Gift Certificates</a>  |  <a href="http://www.harmoniespa.com/">Visit The Spa</a> <br> <a href="/news1_2.html">Harmonie Journal News</a>  |  <a href="/articlelibrary.html">Article Library</a>  |  <a href="mailto: customer_service@eHarmonie.com">Esthetician On-line</a></font></p> <p align="left"><font size=-2>Harmonie European Day Spa 14501 Big Basin Way Saratoga, California 95070<br> (408) 741-4997 (800) 391-3300 customer_service@eHarmonie.com <br> <a href="http://www.eHarmonie.com/">www.eHarmonie.com</a></font> <p><font size=-2>Copyright © 1996-2000 Harmonie European Day Spa, All Rights Reserved</font> </font></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table> </body>
