Darkening skin from hair removal

[jordanna]

Over the last year or so I've noticed the skin on my upper lip has developed several flat "beauty marks" (I have them everywhere, so not surprising -just had a new one pop up on the palm of my hand the other day!) but if I get up close to the mirror I can see that there are subtle splotches of color all across my upper lip area, sort of giving it a "dirty" appearance.  It's not very obvious, but because I nit-pick my face I notice it.  I'm assuming it's from years of tweezing, epilating, and sometimes yes, even shaving (*gasp*) the area, so is there anything I can do to break up/lighten the darkening?  I grabbed a lemon at the grocery store last night and am planning on swiping the area with juice twice a day, but if there's a quicker, more effective way to lighten it, I'd love to hear it!

Hey Jordana,

You might want to try a facial skin lightening cream like CelaBright. I've had my share of "beauty marks" that made me look like I had a unibrow since they were kind enough to grow between my eyebrows. I invested around $50 on CelaBright, and it really helped. A few weeks in and the colored spots were hardly noticeable.

Thanks for the recommendation!  Do you get a decent amount of product for the price?  I have some dark spots/acne scars on my upper arms that I'd love to have fade as well!

This makeup is very nice.because of the selective absorption of photons of laser light, only black or brown hair can be removed. Laser works best with dark coarse hair. Light skin

Hmmm. I only used it on my face so it was enough for me. I had to buy a second bottle because I wanted the spots to go away completely.  If you want to use it on your upper arms, I suggest you go for their buy 2 get 1 free promo for a hundred bucks.
