Let me tell you that I made the most of it, even going against my wise mother\u2019s warnings of wrinkles and freckles. I admit to using baby oil and aluminum foil to achieve that \u201cperfect tan\u201d. Unfortunately, even after I had an epiphany and realized that sun avoidance is the best path to healthy, beautiful and cancer-free skin, my realization comes after decades of overexposure. Sun-induced hyper pigmentation most often presents as sporadic freckling that appears on the highly exposed areas of the face, chest, arms and legs. So now, I have more \u201cspots\u201d or hyperpigmentation than a Dalmatian.<\/p>\n<p >My quest to rid my face and body of these unsightly freckles has begun. The important exfoliation and cell turnover was my first step. For my face, I started with the <a href=\"https:\/\/blumeskintreatment.com\/skin-careskin-treatment-services\/chemical-peels-exfoliants\/\">Vi Peel <\/a>for extreme exfoliation and<a title=\"IPL Photo Facial\" href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/blumeskintreatment.com\/skin-careskin-treatment-services\/photofacial\/\"> IPL<\/a> (photo facials) to aid in decreasing excess surface pigmentation. I have starting using PCA\u2019s Pigment Serum and Avene\u2019s Retrinal +0.1 to help even out my skin tone. For my chest, arms and lower legs, I have regular <a href=\"https:\/\/blumeskintreatment.com\/skin-careskin-treatment-services\/chemical-peels-exfoliants\/\">PCA Body Smoothing Peels <\/a>and <a title=\"IPL Photo Facials\" href=\"https:\/\/blumeskintreatment.com\/skin-careskin-treatment-services\/photofacial\/\">IPL (photo facials)<\/a> and use PCA Body Therapy with 20% Lactic Acid.<\/p>\n<p >Let me stress, the most important products I use EVERYDAY are PCA Perfecting Protecting SPF 30 for the face and Glytone Suncare Protect SPF 40 Waterproof lotion for the body. The question I keep asking myself is \u201cWhy didn\u2019t I listen to my mother?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The general population has only recently begun to emerge from the days of the \u201chealthy tan.\u201d While I was growing up in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,34,35,36,37,38,29,30,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chemical-peels","category-dry-skin","category-facial","category-itchy-skin","category-laser-skin-rejuvenation","category-photo-facial","category-skin-care","category-skin-tips-and-treatments","category-vi-peel","entry"],"acf":{"hide_banner":true},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Spots be Gone!
