When
using MaMa Lotion on dark skin it is very important to
start slow and gradually increase the usage to obtain
the best results. |
| 2. |
For
most individualls who have never used active ingredients
on the skin we recommend using MaMa Lotion no more that
twice a week for the first few weeks up to one month. |
| 3. |
Gradually
increase usage to every other day as tolerated. Some individuals
may be able to use MaMa Lotion every day eventually, some
may not. |
| 4. |
Mild
peeling is normal, but if the skin becomes irritated,
red, or inflamed this may cause darkening of the skin
(post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). If your pimples
heal with brown color that lasts for weeks or months,
you are at risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. |
| 5. |
More
is not always better. If the skin does become irritated,
a) Stop using MaMa Lotion for a few days. b) Use only
a good gentle moisturizer only such as La
Roche Posay for few days. c) protect the skin from
any direct sunlight with a strong sunscreen containing
titanium and zinc such as SkinCeuticals
Ultimate Defense sunscreen. This would be good to
use daily while treating hyperpigmented skin and for ongoing
maintenance because hyperpigmentation can always come
back. d) Within a few days the MaMa Lotion may be started
again. |
| 6. |
Everyone
will be able to find the right schedule to use without
causing hyperpigmentation. |
| 7. |
If the skin is ultra sensitive, we would recommend applying
the moisturizer first to seal the skin and then apply
the MaMa Lotion over the top of the Moisturizer (reverse
order). |
| 8. |
Remember
the key to success is to use enough MaMa Lotion to lighten
the skin or clear up the acne but not so much that the
skin is irritated and at risk of hyperpigmentation. |
| 9. |
A
wide brimmed hat is also important to give maximum protection
to the face from the sun. |
| 10. |
Non
facial areas of skin will do best if irritations and abrasions
are avoided and the areas are kept well moisturized and
protected from the sun. |
