Como evitar e tratar manchas - MPL beauty

Summer is almost over, and regardless of how much SPF you use, you may have developed some dark spots or hyperpigmentation.
With the days getting shorter, it seems appropriate to share tips that really work to help mitigate sun damage, even out skin tone, and give that coveted glow.

Bakuchiol is our solution! 🏽An ingredient that evens out the complexion:  Effective in reducing sun spots, hyperpigmentation, sun damage , minimizing pores and boosting the skin's natural radiance - it's no coincidence that we chose the name Radiant for the line of products with bakuchiol!

Anyone has probably heard the word retinol used as a synonym for highly effective anti-aging care , and may even have experienced it in beauty products. Despite its benefits , retinol is also known as:

  • It can irritate the skin , potentially causing redness, itching, and peeling.

  • It can make the skin more reactive to sunlight , and is therefore not recommended for daytime use.

  • not safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding

  • not recommended for all skin types and tones

Fortunately, there is a natural alternative to this derivative of Vitamin A - bakuchiol , extracted from the seeds and leaves of the psoralea corylifolia plant. Widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, this ingredient offers all the benefits of retinol and none of the disadvantages mentioned above.

Moisturizing and anti-inflammatory: unlike retinol, bakuchiol does not dry out the skin. Instead, it leaves it well-nourished and hydrated, making it suitable for very dry skin. It is also suitable for sensitive skin, without risk of irritation , as it contains anti-inflammatory properties.

Antioxidant : protects the skin from external aggressors and free radicals, thus preventing premature aging, for younger and plumper skin.
