If you're interested in a skin brightener, we can imagine some of your motives: getting more even skin tone, preventing future damage, and repairing any current damage due to sun exposure, acne or other inflammatory stresses. Here are our best practices for Kahina Brightening Serum so that you get the very best results. 1. Minimize sun exposure Stay inside during peak sun hours, wear a hat and protective clothing, and/or apply sunscreen. Sun exposure stimulates melanin production, which is what you’re trying to avoid in the first place. 2. Use Brightening Serum consistently and frequently. Results are apparent in six weeks with consistent, daily use. We recommend once to twice daily. It’s important to continue using Brightening Serum even after six weeks so that melanin production is continually regulated and minimized and so that skin is protected from environmental stressors (these cause inflammation!). 3. Use Brightening Serum in conjunction with other Kahina Giving Beauty products. We highly recommend including our Facial Cleanser, Toning Mist and Antioxidant Mask in your regimen. Facial Cleanser has papaya, a natural and gentle chemical exfoliant. Toning Mist contains alfalfa extract, a source of oligosaccharides that help boost cell metabolism/turnover- an essential component in achieving even skin tone. Antioxidant Mask is a weekly treatment for gentle physical exfoliation and detoxification- crucial for eliminating a buildup of dead skin cells and preventing breakouts that cause PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). All Kahina Giving Beauty products have beneficial antioxidant properties. Antioxidants work to fight inflammation and cell damage. Shop Kahina Brightening Serum now.
