How can I get rid of those little spots on my skin (face) and open pores. Is there some home recipe or any kind of GOOD cream? (like oil of olay, ponds or Neutrogena) It's not obvious but it makes me feel bad....

The spots that come up as we age is a direct result of sundammaged skin, the hyperpigmented skin makes its way up and shows its ugly face starting about the age of 25-30..and the more you expose the skin to the sun the darker they will appear, and the more you sun worship, of just go outside w/o a sunblock the more you will end up having. There are ingredients that can help...hydroquinone is a skin bleacher...and can be presribed by a doctor..this ingredient takes time to work and has been linked in the past to cancer...so I tell my clients to try a product that contains kojic acid....You would also benifit from a good sunblock min.15...I like 30 better...and apply it every morning..and when out in the sun for the day apply it every 2-3 hours. As for the enlarged pores on your face..this is taken care by professional AHA peels, microdermabrasion and used in conjunction with a home care routine of exfoliation...IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE MY ADVICE YOU NEED TO WEAR A SUNBLOCK EVERY DAY...if you do not..this will be a waste of money and time...the sun is too powerful for you to go against. Good luck and e-mail me if you have any questions.
