The number one enemy of your skin is the harmful UV radiation from the sun and from tanning beds.

How Can Exfoliation Improve My Skin?

Exfoliation refers to any technique that removes cells from the skin surface, not only immediately "refreshing" the skin's appearance but also stimulating cell renewal.

The benefits are dramatic, and, when used with professional guidance, exfoliation can treat a wide variety of skin problems - including acne, hyper-pigmentation, premature aging, and scarring to name a few.

What Can I do About my Uneven Pigmentation?

The pigmentation of one's skin is the result of millions of years of evolution, which explains the wide range of skin tones we see in everyday life. People with origins close to the Equator, where the sun is the most intense, had to develop protection against dangerous UV rays. The result? An increase in the production of melanin, a natural skin and hair colorant that absorbs UV radiation and protects the body from damage. In fact, the epidermis of a dark-skinned person absorbs up to 25% more UV radiation than that of a light-skinned counterpart.
