Hello all. I have just read Dr. Baumann's book and I am sharing it will all of my friends. I am also planning a major shopping spree. However, I did have one question that I was hoping you could help me with. I am interested in lightening up my dark spots and I want to try going the non-prescription route first. Are the serums and emulsions (p397), suppose to lighten as well as prevent wrinkles? Am I suppose to use those all over or just on the spots? Where is a recommended list for just lightening serums? I think I am confused!!!

Thanks for your help

I know the wording in the book can be confusing sometimes. The "Recommended Serums and Emulsions" on page 397 are for dark spots and anti-aging. She says that Vitamin C reduces pigment and increases collagen production to improve and treat wrinkles. Although I don't know why in one regimen she would say apply the serum to your face, neck and chest and in the other regimen say to apply the serum or gel to your dark spots only. I would say apply the serum to your face, neck and chest. The products she recommends here do everything that you need. You'll be able to correct wrinkles and combat dark spots all with one product. Hope this helps.
