Wrinkles and skin thinning aren’t the only signs of aging. Over time, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and injuries can cause skin to produce excess pigment, resulting in sunspots and discoloration, says Jason Litner, MD, of Beverly Hills. Research from France suggests that one key to avoiding age-related complexion problems may be red algae extract, rich in natural sugars that help control skin pigmentation. The purple-red seaweed has been shown to slow the skin’s melanin production, which can cause hyperpigmentation. This means a lighter, brighter, and more even skin tone, says Litner.

As with any beauty regimen, it's best to choose a product that works for your skin (it takes around 30 days, a full skin cell cycle, to see results) and use it regularly. Start by pinpointing your goal (skin brightening? wrinkle reduction?) and then narrow down products based on ingredients that can benefit skin in specific ways.

They have shown there is something to the old saying 'you are what you eat' because a study has shown if one applies a specific oil TO the skin / topically it doesn't work BUT if one CONSUMES this oil it protects the skin.
"Dietary, but not topical, alpha-linolenic acid suppresses UVB- induced skin injury "
"α-Linolenic acid is an organic compound found in many common vegetable oils"
