Chemical exfoliation is beneficial in those with sun spots and pre-skin cancer spots, called actinic keratosis, but should best be avoided before going in the sun, as one could potentially sunburn more easily."

Wesley, M.D., FACMS and Arbonne scientific advisor. Read More...

La Dra. Naissan O. Wesley, dermatóloga y asesora científica de Arbonne, nos cuenta que el cabello crece en ciclos. "Hay una fase de crecimiento llamada anágeno, una fase intermedia llamada catágeno y una fase de reposo donde el pelo se desprende, denominada telógeno. Algunos estudios han demostrado que el cabello puede comenzar su fase de reposo en verano y demorar aproximadamente 100 días en desprenderse, lo que da como resultado que se caiga más durante los meses de otoño e invierno.
