Hyperpigmentation, Melasma Moustaches and Skin Bleaching with Salima Saxton

08/27/24 • 15 min

It's more common to have an uneven skin tone than not. Regardless of your skin colour, dark spots and patches can appear on any part of the face and body. This is referred to as hyperpigmentation - think of it as your skin's way of keeping a diary of your adventures (such as sun-soaked holidays, scarring moments and pregnancy journeys). While it's common, many people find it problematic.

So, as summer gives its last hurrah, I'm sharing my Pigmentation Playbook. It's designed to get you clear on the types of hyperpigmentation you may (or may not) have, outline the approach to treating this tricky skin concern, and explain why taking a 'stepladder' approach might be your best bet in the quest for a bright and even complexion.

While many aesthetic treatments are highly effective when performed by experienced and highly qualified practitioners, there are some I personally would avoid at all costs, and in this episode, you'll discover why three particular procedures have made it onto my hit list.

Eyebrows, The Symmetry Factor & How To Swerve Sausages Brows, With Suzanne Martin.

There's no denying the transformative effects of a professional brow treatment; shaped just right, they'll frame your features while adding structure and definition to your face. But you only have to step onto the tube to see the victims of 'over-doing it' (think two fat sausages sitting atop your eyes) or having 'under-done it' (the 90s plucking era, we'll never forgive you).

Luckily, we have The Queen of Brows, Suzanne Martin, creator of the Couture Brow TM️ and the artist behind most of the A-listers' arches, with us today, to talk us through what it really takes to enhance your individual beauty by creating the perfect, eye-opening and symmetry-centric eyebrow.
