Choosing The Best Skin Whitening Cream - 3 Important Steps
You have probably seen on TV commercials on bill boards and on internet ads skin whitening cream products being advertised. If you listen or read what the manufacturers say about their products, you will be fooled to think that all you need to get light skin is to pick the product from the shelve and apply it, and that’s it. Not unless you want to run the risk of losing your skin or having to color to relate to at all. You should never use any skin whitening cream without first consulting.
When choosing skin whitening cream there are several things that you have to consider including budget, skin disorder, ingredients and so on. With all the advertising out there, you obviously do not want to fall prey. This is one product that can fool you just from the packaging and promotion alone. Therefore the question remains, how do you make the best selection?
3 Steps To Selecting Best Skin Whitener Cream
1. Know Your Skin Type
Firstly, it’s good to understand that Africans, Caucasians and Asians have different skin types and pigmentations. Knowing your skin type is very important when choosing skin whitening cream. It’s good to enlist the help of a dermatologist. Although he or she may not recommend you a specific skin lightener, they will inform you on the ingredients you require and the ones to not go for.
2. Consult The Expert
The next thing that you should do is to consult a qualified beauty expert or doctor. Let him or her examine your skin pigmentation or any other skin condition you might be suffering from to know which skin whitening cream is best for you. Your doctor will help you determine which ingredients will work well for your skin and which ones will react negatively. Make sure you write down what your doctor explains including the requirements. Armed with this knowledge, you can go out there and look for a cream confidently.
3. Read Before You Buy
The final most important step is to read carefully the ingredients indicated in each skin whitening cream you choose. This will help you rule out those that contain harsh products or those that are banned. The best thing to do is to pick skin whiteners containing natural ingredients such as lemon juice extracts or sandalwood.
What You Should Keep In Mind
One very important thing is that your skin whitening cream will only work best if you stay away from the sun. If you must go out carry a hat and sun screen to protect your skin from UV rays. Do not be afraid that maybe sunscreen will make the whitener react with your skin. On the contrary, no matter what type of skin whitener cream you are using, nothing will go wrong if you apply sun screen. In fact, if you are using a poor quality skin whitening cream, the sun screen will help prevent more problems from developing than without.
My Personal Experience on Skin Whitening Creams
In a bid to lighten the dark spots on my face I have tried Meladerm, Revitol and Dermology.
If you want instant results Meladerm is the answer. Revitol is definitely the most cost effective skin lightening cream but results can be seen after about 4 weeks. And Dermolgy could be your next choice.
Meladerm is very effective in removing the skin discoloration and dark spots in just about a couple of weeks. If Meladerm is combined with exfoliating agents it shows result in 2 weeks.
However, you will need to dedicate time and patience to the process of diminishing the spots. And the results might vary a bit according to the skin physiology of the individual and specific conditions.
Where to Buy Meladerm?
Meladerm is not available in stores, so there is no point rushing to your nearby chemist store.
Meladerm can be ordered from the official Civant Skin Care website www.civantskincare.com. This can ensure the genuine product is purchased and there are several bonuses that come with it. A bottle of 1.7 oz Meladerm cream is priced at $49.99 and a bottle of 3.4 oz cream is priced at $79.99.
Meladerm comes with a 30 days money back guarantee. For first time customers, the company will issue a full refund, less shipping, on returned products (used or unused). To process a refund, you must contact the company for an authorization (RMA) number before you send back the product.
