Section 1: Serum and Tea

Discoloration Serum

The best thing you can do for your skin for discoloration has been brought to the world by Asian cultures. Ever hear of the book ‘Japanese Women Don’t Get Old Or Fat’? Well, that culture is very pressed to make a perfect appearance.

Asian cultures bring methods of skin care which have many steps and protect the skin barrier with their mindfulness. When we see discoloration, it is usually because of scarring or sun damage. Asian cultures are the best at combating facial discoloration with something called face toner. This is different than hair toner, as it is formulated for the skin. The toner can be used on the body and the Korean beauty method has become popular recently for its step-by-step process for keeping skin healthy.

African cultures also contribute to high beauty standards. Every heard the phrase, ‘Black don’t crack.’? African products are often made authentically, shipped from Africa for product with the highest purity. Fresh butters like shea butter (mainly oleic acid and stearic acid fatty acids) has the high ability to cure scars, erase stretch marks, prevent wrinkles and hydrate dry skin. Most American products are highly manufactured, while African butters are often imported raw. Think of it in the same way you would manufacture and process oats vs getting fresh oats from a farm. All sorts of dusty and

greasy machinery has swiped through and mixed in with highly processed American and Chinese products. The more ingredients there are, the more likely the product was built more for shelf-life than for freshness and potency. The ideal scenario is to use fresh and clean products. This is important to pay attention to because using old product can lead to infection and discoloration of the skin
