Do dark circles have you reaching for the concealer? Do you long for an overall brighter, more youthful complexion?

Many women over 30 years of age struggle with uneven skin tone and pigmentation, which is largely due to the slowing of skin cell turnover. The most common solution is to cover these flaws with make-up rather than addressing the dull skin itself.

What if we told you that loving your true-complexion is easy with the help of an expertly formulated brightening product that not only tackles pigmentation, but the signs of ageing as well? 

Here's How Brightening Bars Reveal Brighter, Younger-Looking Skin... 

1. Safely Brighten Overall Skin Tone 
Gone are the days when regular brightening products are made with hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is renowned for effective brightening; however, it can have adverse effects on the skin including photo-sensitivity (making our skin prone to further pigmentation). This ingredient made brightening products seem somewhat taboo for a while there, but rest assured there are plenty of brightening products which provide real results without compromising the quality of your skin.

The ingredients found in today’s brightening products are not only effective, they provide your skin with the added support it needs to thrive such as Tocopherol Acetate (vitamin E) to nourish the skin while brightening. This ensures optimal hydration for plump, youthful-looking skin. 

Brightening Bars not only revise the tone of your skin, they are designed to address several skin imperfections including, darkened acne scars, age spots, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.

The common brightening agent Tetrahydro diferuloylmethane is incorporated for its ability to brighten overall skin tone without leaving the skin sensitive to sun exposure. Tetrahydro diferuloylmethane, a derivative of turmeric, is also known for its anti-ageing components thanks to being rich in antioxidants. Its dual brightening and age fighting actions make it a natural yet effective brightening ingredient to tackle general pigmentation as well signs of ageing. 

Brightening Bars, as opposed to most brightening creams and oils, are designed to target the skin on both the face and body. This means they can be used to not only target facial imperfections, they can be used on pigmented areas of the body such as under the arms, skin folds, as well as private regions such as your bikini line. 

4. Ingredients to Look For 

• Retinol: Commonly used for its anti-ageing components, retinoids are also known to stimulate the production of new blood vessels which improve skin colour. 
• Tocopherol acetate: A popular form of vitamin E, Tocopherol acetate is a rich antioxidant, which provides moisture and strengthens the skin's protective barrier to prevent moisture loss.
• Sodium PCA: A naturally occurring humectant, Sodium PCA acts as both a hydrating and skin replenishing agent. 
• Tetrahydro diferuloylmethane: A derivative of turmeric, Tetrahydro diferuloylmethane is used as a skin-whitening ingredient with rich antioxidant properties.
