Pigmentation, acne and general aging of the skin can all zap that radiant glow we all desperately want. Radiant skin is the result of a good skincare routine, and one of the first steps to take to encourage that brighter, lighter looking skin tone is to even it all out.

The range of skin lightening creams and skin brightening products available these days are just fantastic, giving a smoother, luminous finish in a short space of time. The effective formulas out there effectively lessen dark spots caused by sun damage, fade scarring, and even lighten freckles and hyperpigmentation.

For that pure, glowing look, take a read of our top 10 brighten and lighten heroes…
