Can't see this email? View in Your Browser Do you have some darker spots on your skin?   It's a very normal thing to have happen.   Melanin is a natural sunscreen for our skin.  It's produced to help protect our living skin cells from further damage.   Dark spots can indicate places where extra damage has happened.   Creating more even skin color isn't a simple as removing a stain from a shirt.   The melanin pigment granules actually become absorbed by your cells.   Brightening skin is truly a long term process because it means we need to make and mature new, less pigmented cells.   Growing a new skin cell takes more time as we age.   For young adults it takes 28-42 days. In mid life it might take you 40-50 days. And as we age even further it can take 50-84 days!   Every cell that carries the deeper pigment needs to be replaced with new, healthier, less pigmented cells for you to see brighter skin.   If you're embarking on a brightening journey it's best to know this in advance, since there are no quick fixes.   It's also important to recognize that dark spots indicate stress in the skin already, so the last thing we want to do is create more stress!   Instead we can use compassion, patience, and helpful plant based skincare to support our skin in producing less pigment. How to stop pigment where it starts. If you want to see even skin color there is hope!   The primary way to see brighter skin is to interrupt pigment from being made and transferred to new cells.   Here's one way you can do that.   An amino acid called tyrosine is at the start of the pigment creation process.   To reach the next stages of making pigment tyrosine needs an enzyme called tyrosinase.   If you take away the tyrosinase then tyrosine can't become pigment.   It's like if you have a car but no key to drive it.  It's not going anywhere!   Tyrosinase is the key in the ignition that can take the pigment-mobile to all your cells and bring them a special delivery of pigment packages.   You know how subscription services are sometimes tough to cancel?   Your pigment delivery process is like the ultimate subscription.  Life has ordered you too much, and now you need to cancel it and work through what you've got.   Luckily good quality skincare can help.   A lot of brightening skincare focuses on providing ingredients that prevent the action of tyrosinase.   This is where ingredients like the ever popular Vitamin C come in.   Vitamin C is a tyrosinase inhibitor, along with being an excellent antioxidant.   Plenty of plant ingredients can inhibit tyrosinase.   The benefit of using plant based brightening ingredients is that you get multiple actions from one herb.   And as we're always saying, you get BETTER brightening if you're using a whole plant extract too.   Let's briefly consider licorice root. Licorice root has a compound called glabridin in it that has long been thought to be why it's effective at brightening skin.   But plants have many, many active compounds in them, and licorice is has been found to be more powerful against tyrosinase than just the glabridin content can account for.   A 2003 study found that Licorice root has at least 2 other compounds that contribute to the anti-tyrosinase activity! (source)   And, bonus, licorice root also acts as an antioxidant and has soothing properties for skin!   Isolated ingredients just can't compare.   Plenty of other plant ingredients have anti-tyrosinase activity too.   That's why we use ingredients like: Reishi Mushroom Turmeric root Green tea Grape Seed Extract Gentian Root Uva Ursi Pomegranate Extract   Even linoleic fatty acid, a key fatty acid in many plant oils, has the ability to break down tyrosinase!    That's one reason why you'll see Cranberry seed oil, Blackberry seed oil, and other high linoleic oils in our products.   We consider these botanical brighteners to be the stars of our formulas.   Vitamin C is just the helper.   Our plant ingredients also help soothe skin, reduce the look of inflammation, improve hydration levels, and provide valuable antioxidants to protect your cells.   Once you've got these awesome ingredients in your skincare you need to stay consistent in applying it!   Since it can take anywhere from 1-3 months for a new, less pigmented cell to travel to the surface this is truly a long term project.   Supplying your cells with tyrosinase inhibitors every day will help you see the best brightening results.   The benefit to a consistent and gentle approach, though, is that there are no risks like with lasers and harsh ingredients like hydroquinone.   When you brighten with botanicals you're doing something that's genuinely good for your skin.   You're also respecting the fact that your skin needs relief from stress, and help with repair.   What's more, you're also providing nutrients that will continue to protect and nurture that area of skin so that pigment doesn't need to return.   That's how you get healthy, happy, even-toned skin for life.   Right now through 9/1 you can get 25% off our best brightening products PLUS the sunscreen you need to keep your results long term.   Shop now and use code: BRIGHTDAYS25   The best time to prevent hyperpigmentation was before it ever happened.    The next best time to address it is today.   We're here to help you get started.
