Question
I am planning for my wedding but I have uneven skin tone and some breakouts on my forehead. Do you recommend tanning to even out the tone or some other options? I just want to look even before my big day!
Answer
No savvy girl in her right mind would recommend any sort of tanning. It's a suicide mission for skin. Here are your options for your uneven complexions:
1) Try a few sessions of Crystal Clear. It includes a spa-grade microdermabrasion that literally sandblasts off dead and pigmented skin layers, without causing too much irritation, and very little redness. Because very often the melanocytes (cells that produce pigment in the skin) are more concentrated in certain areas that are darker, exfoliating the skin's surface frequently can help dissolve and disperse the buildup of the darker color!
2) Try skin care with stable vitamin C, or with L-Ascorbic Acid content. Vitamin C has been shown in numerous studies to help reduce pigmentation and wrinkles! You could try Skin Inc’s Pure C or IS Clinical’s Super serum followed by a moisturizer with sunblock. Many of my clients have had a tremendous amount of success with this combination.
3) Visit a good doctor to discuss the possibility of doing a stronger glycolic or TCA peel. (This depends on your skin type, so someone MUST see you in person to give you good advice.)
DON'T TAN! Use sunblock daily. Scrub with exfoliants. Try vitamin A creams too! Use a great neutralizing foundation until you're all even... and let me know how it goes! And, last but not least-- no pigmentation pun intended--
LIGHTEN UP! You will look great in your big day (Everyone has their own paranoia.) We're rooting for you!

Question
I have back acne and I suspect it could be due to the tiny hairs growing out of my back. This is really embarrassing for me, I feel like I am the missing link between man and ape. Help!
Answer
Don’t go ape over your problem (pun not intended). It is very likely that your hairy back is trapping oil and dirt and aggravating your acne problem! Our best suggestion is to get our back peel to clarify acne and reduce marks. In the long term, consider our Hairless back treatment which incorporates IPL hair removal to reduce hair growth permanently. Expect some redness post treatment, and please do not tan or sunbathe prior to any IPL treatment. With less hair growth on your back, you can certainly expect a smoother, clearer and more manageable back in time to come.
