What does turmeric face cream do for your skin?
Turmeric is rich in antioxidants that help brighten dull-looking skin. Our Extra Strength Turmeric Brightening Face Cream pairs turmeric extract with kojic acid, alpha-arbutin, niacinamide and vitamins C + E to help fade the look of dark spots and even out skin tone, while shea butter keeps skin moisturized.
How do I get rid of dark knuckles?
Dark knuckles respond best to consistent, targeted care. Roll our Extra Strength Peeling Oil (papaya extract, papaya oil and kojic acid) onto darkened knuckles every other day, keep the area moisturized, and wear sunscreen on your hands during the day. Avoid broken or irritated skin.
Can I use turmeric papaya soap on my face?
Yes. Turmeric Papaya Soap is made for both face and body. Lather, gently massage, rinse well and pat dry. For best results use it morning and night, and avoid contact with eyes.
How long until I see results?
Everyone's skin is different. Brightening ingredients like kojic acid and niacinamide work gradually, so most routines need several weeks of consistent use plus daily sunscreen before changes in tone are noticeable.
Do I need sunscreen with kojic acid?
Yes, and this is the step people skip. Brightening actives can make skin more sun-sensitive, and UV exposure darkens spots again. Use the Turmeric Cream at night, then our Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50+ every morning: broad spectrum UVA/UVB, lightweight and non-greasy. Reapply every 2 hours outdoors.
What sunscreen should I use with brightening skincare?
Our Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50+ ($25.00) was made to finish a Variety Express routine. It gives broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection with aloe, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate, absorbs fast and leaves no greasy shine, so it works under makeup and on every skin tone.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Our products are for external use only. If you have sensitive skin, patch test on a small area first and stop use if irritation occurs. If you're pregnant, nursing or under a doctor's care, check with your doctor first.
How do I use the rosemary hair growth oil?
It comes in a 2 oz ($12.00) and a 4 oz with applicator tip ($20.00). Apply a few drops to damp hair or scalp, massage gently for a few minutes, and use 2–4 times per week. It also works on dry ends. It's lightweight and suitable for straight, wavy, curly and coily hair.
How long do dark spots take to fade?
Most people need several weeks of consistent use before tone starts looking more even, and deeper or older marks can take a few months. Brightening is gradual: use your cream nightly, use the soap daily, and wear sunscreen every morning. Take photos in the same light every two weeks, because day-to-day change is hard to see.
What does a realistic before and after look like?
Softer, lighter-looking marks and a more even overall tone, not erased skin. Anyone promising that dark spots disappear in a week is selling you something. Results depend on how deep the pigment is, how consistent you are, and whether you protect your skin from the sun.
Is this safe for deep skin tones?
Yes. Our formulas are made for every skin tone, and they are made to even out the look of dark marks rather than lighten your natural complexion. There is no hydroquinone or mercury in anything we sell. Patch test any new product first, and introduce one product at a time.
Will your sunscreen leave a white cast?
No. Our SPF 50+ is a lightweight, hydrating formula that absorbs clear, so it does not leave the chalky or ashy look that thick mineral sunscreens can leave on deep skin. Apply it 15 to 20 minutes before going out and reapply every two hours outdoors.
What helps with dark underarms and inner thighs?
Friction, shaving and sweat are the usual causes, so start there: looser clothing, a gentler hair-removal method and a daily wash with our Turmeric Papaya Soap. For stubborn areas, use the Peeling Oil every other night on clean, dry skin, and skip it on broken or freshly shaved skin.
Where does Variety Express ship from?
We're a small business based in Boynton Beach, Florida, and ship across the United States. See our shipping & returns page for details.
