In today’s beauty world, we are becoming<br />
increasingly familiarised with skincare buzzwords<br />
and jargon. While cosmeceutical (having medicinal<br />
properties), hypoallergenic (unlikely to cause allergic<br />
reaction) and non-comedogenic (formulated to not<br />
block pores) are fairly straightforward, others, such as<br />
‘brightening’, may need a little more clarification.<br />
This term can have a multitude of meanings,<br />
however most commonly it refers to lightening and<br />
lifting pigment from the skin caused through scarring<br />
(from acne, dark spots), sun damage and fluctuations<br />
in hormones (melasma). Occasionally it can be used<br />
to promote increased cellular turnover through<br />
mechanical or chemical exfoliation so that the skin<br />
becomes ‘brightened’, i.e. glowing and softer.<br />
Key ingredients to look out for in brightening<br />
products are antioxidant vitamin C, alpha and beta<br />
hydroxy acids, liquorice root, glycolic acid and retinol.<br />
Some of these ingredients can make your skin more<br />
photosensitive and more vulnerable to sunburn and<br />
sun damage, so be sure to wear an adequate layer of<br />
sun protection (yes, even in the cooler months).<br />
When purchasing your brightening product, aim to<br />
select ones that address a multitude of issues. One<br />
particular product that does exactly this is La Prairie’s<br />
White Caviar Pearl Infusion. This luxurious antidiscolouration<br />
firming serum will brighten and firm<br />
your skin while correcting three skin colour disorders:<br />
pigment darkening, redness and dull grey tone caused<br />
through pollution. It has a complex advanced formula<br />
that utilises a light-infusing complex (limits pigment<br />
darkening from UV exposure), vitamin C (reduces<br />
appearance of pigment darkening and age spots),<br />
an anti-pollution matrix and golden caviar extract<br />
(increases firmness and elasticity). For best results,<br />
apply one to two pumps to a cleansed, toned skin<br />
(avoiding eye area), then follow with La Prairie White<br />
Caviar Creme Extraordinaire.<br />
