Sun+Skin=Sothys

Everyone always emphasises SPF and protecting your skin from the sun. As a teenager and during my early 20's I absolutely loved having a tan and was either in the sun or in the tanning bed all year round. I never realized how much damage I was doing to my skin, until a few years ago. Along with too much sun and hormone changes, my body and skin decided to show me how much I would regret not protecting my skin. I ended up with hyperpigmentation on my face. For years I experimented with everything I could get my hands on. Over the counter products, online products and all kinds of make-up to camouflage these dark patches on my face. There were so many products out there that were broken promises and the more I tried, my face appeared red and irritated. I finally decided to consult a few dermatologists and estheticians regarding my skin problem. Unfortunately, because of my ignorance to the sun, this will never go away completely and I will also have to be extremely careful in the sun. There might be some of you with the same problem and not sure what to do about it. I have come to find that microdermal abrasion and chemical peels have done wonders to my skin. I also apply SPF 30 everyday, weather it's sunny or cloudy outside. I wanted to share some of the products that I use and hopefully they will be helpful to you as well:

Sothys Normalizing Beauty Milk Cleanser 6.7oz~ So many people think that the stronger a cleanser is, the better. Actually, alot of cleansers strip the natural oils from your skin, causing your skin to produce more oil and also to get irritated. This cleanser is very mild, but will take off all your make-up and leave your skin very fresh as it balances and normalizes the oils in your skin.
Sothys Double Lightening Serum Dark Spot Corrector~ Well, this is just awesome!

Sothys - W. Hydrating Daily Fluid - 1.69 fl. oz. ~This is a water based lotion which absorbs quickly. It also helps drive the serum into your skin for more effectiveness.
