Many people think that skin lightening is purely a matter of vanity. This is certainly true for some skin lightening product users. Others use Makari products to find their ideal complexion. An even and well-groomed complexion not only looks natural, it also boosts self-confidence. Sometimes, however, Makari products also help alleviate skin damage caused by illness or health conditions.
A good example of how it is possible to support a healing process with Makari skincare products is Angie P.'s medical history. Angie lives in New Jersey, USA, and she contacted us with the question of whether it would be possible to improve the appearance of her skin on her arms and legs with our products.
Since 2016, she has suffered from the autoimmune disease Hashimoto's disease and chronic venous insufficiency, both of which are incurable.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
Chronic venous insufficiency causes pain, enlarged veins, skin discoloration, rashes, and ulcers. Without treatment, the veins swell and the tiny blood vessels in the legs burst. The skin changes, becoming leathery and taking on a reddish-brown color.
Experts estimate that 20 percent of adults are affected. By the age of 50, about 40 percent of women and 20 percent of men suffer from CVI.
Symptoms of CVI:
• Chronic pain
• Swelling due to accumulated fluid
• Painful leg ulcers that require wound care
• Discoloration of the skin
Hashimoto's disease
It's not curable, but it's easily treatable. The disease causes an underactive thyroid. This can result in eczema on the legs, arms, and thighs. If left untreated, the disease manifests with the formation of a goiter.
Due to the simultaneous occurrence of the two diseases, the skin on Angie's arms and legs had become severely discolored (see photo).
ANGIE'S ARMS ANGIE'S LEGS

Angie's strategy
Angie was desperate. She wanted to feel comfortable in her body again. For two years, she hadn't dared to wear shorts, short skirts, or dresses. The changes in her skin made her feel uncomfortable and unsexy.
She began searching for a solution to her skin problems. She wasn't looking for quick results, nor did she want the products she was using to interfere with or weaken her medication. She turned to us, Makari, a company that has specialized for years in the care and lightening of dark and black skin.
We recommended Angie follow a product routine focused on exfoliation, hydration, collagen regeneration, and brightening.
Rough skin
To exfoliate the skin on her arms and legs, we recommended our Makari's Brightening Exfoliating Soap and Makari's Luxurious Exfoliating Body Wash. These gentle scrubs smooth and soften the skin's texture.
Lightening
The next application uses brightening glycerin. This is contained in Makari's Extreme Argan & Carrot Oil Glycerin. This moisturizes and rehydrates the skin after bathing. The oil seals the skin and prevents moisture from escaping. This oil can be used throughout the day and can be refreshed repeatedly.
Spot correction
To bring the resulting spots back into line with her skin tone, Angie uses the Extreme Argan & Carrot Oil Toning Serum. This is applied selectively to darker areas. The cream serum is highly concentrated and penetrates the top layer of the skin, effectively targeting dark spots from within.
Body lotion
To complete the supportive treatments, Angie applies the Makari 24K Rose Gold Beauty Milk body lotion. The collagen contained in the beauty milk strengthens the skin and provides suppleness.
Patience leads to success
Angie's patience paid off. After just four months, she was able to enjoy her success and her restored skin. Starting in August 2018, she began using her Makari skincare routine twice a day (see photos).
"I only used the products on the affected areas. It was very good for my skin!"
"Thanks to Makari, I feel good again. I even wear shorts and skirts again. I love my skin again and am completely happy with it.
