There's a natural route I am going to try for the next 2 weeks. The internet said that within 2 weeks of using this mixture I should see results. The spots won't be gone but I should see something happening. It's Frankincense (the essential oil not a cheap oil you find at a department store. it's from Young Living but you can get it another brand at health stores I'm sure) mixed with castor oil. Mix 10 drops of frankincense with 1 tablespoon of castor oil in a container that doesn't let in light and can be sealed air tight. Put the mixture on your dark spots or if you have a cluster of spots then use it over that area. You can use this on your body as well. Do NOT get it near your eyes. It is reported that you should see fading of spots in 2 weeks and up to 2 months to see them disappear. I'm not expecting disappearing of spots but faded enough to cover with makeup would be great.
The picture above was taken last September before I started using a cream with alpha hydroxy in it. The picture below is today. It's worse. If you notice there's at the top left that's reddish. After using two products from Selma Hayek's line of products one of the brown spots turned into a red scab and this is what the final result of that is. I'm going to try the castor oil / frankincense mixture and post picture in a couple weeks. In the meantime I'll be posting comments about products I've used over the last couple years, obviously all a waste of money although my face is hydrated and there's sunscreen in the moisturizer.
Until next time....be an inspiration to someone.
Update: I mixed the castor oil and frankincense. I put it in a tupperware container that seals airtight then wrapped the bottom and top with tin foil. I hope that keeps the light out. I put the first application on with q-tips. It feels greasy on my face, doesn't absorb as it said on the internet. I'll use my daily moisturizer and see if that helps get rid of the sticky greasy feel.
Where are your before and after using Frankincense pics?
ReplyDeleteThere's just a before picture because after was the same as before. it didn't do anything . the only thing that did anything was the IPL treatment at the dermatologist. (see the before and after pictures in November blog post).
