Stimulating Pigment when vitiligo progress is slow
Our bodies go through periods of healing and rest. Sometimes, we may see little to no progress, though we are actively working to regain color. Sometimes, we may see rapid
progress followed by periods of very slow progress. The healing cycle has its ebbs and flows. Learning the patterns of your healing cycle and working with them is one of the tools to encourage pigmentation, even during the slow cycles.
Taking pictures is one of the true ways to gauge success. When you’re looking at your skin every single day, it is hard to see the subtle changes that happen. However, if you’re snapping pictures bi-weekly or monthly, you may notice a lot of changes that are not as apparent when you’re looking at the gradual changes daily.
If you’re working on your skin and not seeing the results you want, I recommend pumping it up. If you’re only using Vitligo Herbal Skin Cream at night when you‘re sleeping, start using it again during the day after showering when the skin is still moist.
Try to get 30 minutes of sunshine or just get outside, even on cloudy or overcast days, with a thin layer of cream on just before sun therapy.
This always works for me. I get into a slow cycle, then pump up the use of the cream and sun exposure to ensure my skin has the outer nutrients it needs to gain color.
Another important part of this equation is to ensure you’re getting enough enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and psoralens in foods. This bathing the inside with vitiligo healing nutrients is equally important as cream on the outside of the skin.
The vitiligo rapid re-pigmenting kit is very useful during times of little or no progress. It helps to stimulate color and it helps to ensure the insides are working to heal the melanocytes as well as to nourish the cleanse the body.
This regimen is easy to implement and will do wonders for your vitiligo. Kee, ND
