When was the last time that you saw Michael Jackson on your TV set and said to yourself or the person sitting in the room with you watching TV, “man he looks great”! Probably never, because the truth of the matter is that he has really screwed himself up good.

If you stop for a moment to thing about it though, there is something to be learned from what he has done to himself. That is that it is now possible more than any other time in history to actually change the way that you look.

For instance, have you ever noticed that he has treated his skin to lighten the color that it is? This is because, there are now substances available that can actually remove pigment from a persons skin. These substances are what is contained in new skin treatment products that are available for treating dark skin blotches that are the result of aging and exposure to the sun.

These products were developed as the result of years of research into to actual intrinsic biological functions of the skin its self. The fact is, that your skin has a natural biological process by which it rids itself of skin pigment and this is why a tan goes way in time.

In dark skin blotches this process has shut down and that is why the pigment in them stays. Effective skin whitening products on the market now function in the skins substrate on a cellular level to click the skins pigment removal process back on long enough for it to rid itself of the accumulated pigment in dark skin blotches.

More and more skin care products now function on this same principle of functioning below the skins surface to temporarily stimulate the skins natural biological functions that have been lost due to aging or sun exposure.
