 Hyperpigmentation is a patch or dark spot that occurs on the skin which is caused when too much pigment has been released on the skin. Hyperpigmentation is considered to be a common condition. It is caused when melanocytes, which are overactive skin cells, stimulate the production of melanin, which in turn gives your skin a darker color. Not considered to be a serious problem, hyperpigmentation often makes ladies, and some gents, feel uncomfortable with the physical cards that they have been dealt.
There are several reasons that hyperpigmentation occurs. Exposure to the sun is the most common reason for the melanocytes to overact. Besides being at risk for skin cancer, sun worshipers should be aware that exposing their skin to ultraviolet rays stimulates melanocytes, which in turn produces additional melanin to darken the skin to help protect it from the burning rays of the sun. Years ago, it was unclear as to what the risk of sunbathing was. Now we know that exposing skin to UV rays will result in hyperpigmentation…otherwise known as freckles and age spots. Sun exposure can cause additional freckles or make any spots darker and more noticeable at any moment in time.
You can avoid freckles, age spots, and other hyperpigmentation issues by using Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Englighten from Skin Gift. This amazing skin care product will brighten and help to even out your skins color.

Egyptian women were known for placing great importance on how good they looked. In an effort to beautify their outward appearance, different beauty techniques were used which included facial masks.
During ancient Egyptian tim es, typical masks were made from different types of clay or mud. Clay was used for oily skin to remove dirt, excess oil, and pollutants. Mud from the Dead Sea is said to be part of Cleopatra’s beauty regime. The minerals helped to draw out toxins and restore healthy skin. People still use this mud treatment because of its high mineral content.
Throughout history, women have used a variety of herbs and fruits to concoct facial masks. Modern day face masks often contain traditional ingredients mixed with vitamin extracts. Facial masks are a popular choice among the ladies because they are versatile and can be customized to meet a person’s individual needs.
You won’t need to dig in the mud or smash fruit to have a great mask on your face thanks to Jan Marini’s C-ESTA Facial Mask. Dubbed as the “perfect mask before a hot date”, the C-ESTA Facial Mask will instantly make your skin firmer and tighter looking. You can find Jan Marini’s C-ESTA Facial Mask and many other great skin care products available at Skin Gift.

 In continuation from Thursday…
• Aging – People who already have dark circles under their eyes will likely have more pronounced dark under eye circles as they continue to age. When excess folds of the skin develop under the eyes, any dark under eye circles will look predominant.
• Pregnancy or Menstruation – The skin often becomes more pale allowing veins under the eyes to become more visible which results in dark circles under the eye.
• Dehydration – Excessive loss of water can be a cause of dark circles under the eyes.
• Sun Exposure – Dark circles occur in both dark and light skinned people when sunscreen is not used and sun exposure is experienced.
• Eye Glasses – When eye glasses are too heavy, blood circulation can be slowed which will cause dark circles. Dark circles under your eyes can be unsightly and you could choose to cover them up with Jane Iredale’s Circle/Delete Concealer.

 A person could embrace the onslaught of wrinkles in their life and believe that they signify wisdom and grace from the years of life’s experiences. For most people who are getting older, especially women, wrinkles are something that they would likely choose to leave behind.
Wrinkles occur for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is because of the typical aging process. There are other factors that can speed up the wrinkling process as well.
• Some people tend to wrinkle more than others do based upon their genetic makeup.
• It is a well-known fact that smoking is a major contributor to premature aging of the skin.
• Light skinned people who tend to burn easily are more likely to wrinkle faster.
• Working outdoors (i.e. construction workers, farmers, road workers, etc.)
• Not protecting your skin from UVA/UVB rays when playing outdoors.
• Using tanning beds. Skin care experts agree…that there is no safe tan!
