Sanne Hanssen's Skincare Journey

As an actress, your appearance is highly demanded. You have to have diverse faces, be able to express a wide range of emotions, and feel free when 20 people are watching you closely while you're making the film. And then thousands of people when your face is blown up on a screen.

So it's VERY important that you feel good about yourself and that your skin looks good even without makeup or Botox. Sanne has a remarkably beautiful and unique face. Very expressive and honest. It's not her style to slather layers of makeup over it. How awful to have pigmentation due to various causes, and with everything you do, it starts to improve, then gets worse again.

Her skin is beautifully porcelain, but sensitive. Freckles. This skin type often reacts to inflammatory reactions with pigmentation and can also develop melasma during hormonal fluctuations. Some previous treatments had also caused hypopigmentation.

VERY IMPORTANT: Her skin was a bit red and had bumps under the skin. The first step is ALWAYS to calm the skin, and that can be a bit of a challenge. It's easy to upset skin in just a few hours, due to diet, makeup, perfume, treatments, or the wrong cosmetics.

We are enjoying some peace and quiet with the Kombucha cleanser, the <a href="https://indigocosmetics.nl/shop/scientific-organics/gezichtsverzorging-scientific-organics/scientific-organics-blue-poppy-enzyme-polish/">Blue Poppy Seed Enzyme polish</a> and the <a href="https://indigocosmetics.nl/shop/scientific-organics/gezichtsverzorging-scientific-organics/glow-guard/">Glow Guard</a> cream from the Scientific Organics line, and the d-red serum. <a href="http://www.ivyclinics.nl">at Ivy Clinics</a> Amsterdam she had a treatment for a total skin reset, the Protocell Apple Stem Cell Treatment with Floor.

She also increased her use of the <a href="https://indigocosmetics.nl/shop/alle-emerginc/emerginc-serums/vitamine-c-serum-20/">vitamin C serum 20%</a>, essential for combating pigmentation and achieving healthy, beautiful skin. Her skin became calm and increasingly smooth.

Then came the new <a href="https://indigocosmetics.nl/shop/alle-emerginc/emerginc-serums/multi-vitamin-retinol-serum/">Multi Vitamin Retinol serum</a>; perfect as an evening serum to further combat her increasingly lightened pigmentation and stimulate cell renewal. Bonus: the probiotics and neem oil are anti-inflammatories, which is very good for her skin.

We chose the Scientific Organics line because it contains Whitonyl, derived from algae. This ingredient combats pigmentation in several ways. It blocks the enzyme responsible for it, lightens the color, and ensures more even distribution.

When she went into the desert, we added the<a href="https://indigocosmetics.nl/shop/alle-emerginc/emerginc-oog-lipverzorging/vitamin-c-eye-serum/">Rawceuticals CLEAN</a>, the hyper vitaler cream that she loves, the Hydra Repair capsules, and the Active Hydrating Complex. The latter finally made the last of the bumps disappear, and her skin felt much smoother. The niacinamide in it also fights pigmentation.

She was recently in the Netherlands, and despite the desert sun, we saw beautiful, even skin. There was still <a href="https://indigocosmetics.nl/pigmentatie-is-niet-leuk/">pigmentation</a>, but much less patchy and getting smaller. She's not there yet, but Alejandra from Aluna also advised her: It's all about consistency, not big, quick steps that will ultimately do more good than harm. We'll get there, as long as she sticks to her routine consistently, which she does.

We're proud of her, her incredible journey, and her commitment to creating a better world. And we're so proud of her that we can share this story with her. She's a special girl we'd love to continue following.
