Above is my YouTube video where I am expressing some of my excitement with trying some new skin care products from Urban Skin RX. I found these products online after extensive research. After a visit with my dermatologist a couple weeks ago, I was told that I have melasma on my skin. Melasma is basically dark spots that are usually from hormonal changes from child birth and/or birth control as well as sun damage. These dark spots are areas that I am very insecure with and Bareminerals gets hundreds of my dollars a year from the concealers and foundations that I purchase and use on the daily to hide the dark spots. I was desperate to find a solution however was afraid to try things that I wasn't sure was safe to use. Since I am also on this self care journey where I am intentionally taking care of not only my physical but mental and emotional well being, this was a complete no brainer for me. The dermatologist prescribed a bleaching cream called hydroquinone to lighten the dark areas. It is a 4% cream which after a few days of usage has proven to be too strong for my skin. She also suggested getting a cleanser that has kojic acid which helps even the skin. Urban Skin RX has kojic acid in the cleanser and it is in fact a skin care line specifically for people with melanin skin. I am so excited to start this new skin care regime tonight and will give my full review in about a week or so.
