You know those brown spots that seem to pop up overnight? The ones that make you do a double-take in the mirror? Well, grab yourself a cuppa, because we need to talk about what's really going on with your skin – and trust me, it's probably not what you think.
Could there be a link between brown spots and your lymphatic system?
This conversation was inspired when chatting with a friend the other day about brown marks on her skin and how they seemed to have just popped up (you know the ones), and I mentioned this fascinating video I'd just watched by Dr. Eric Berg, a well-known health educator and expert in natural remedies.
Get this – those spots we've all been blaming on sun damage?
They might actually be telling us something completely different!
The Truth About Those Spots
Here's the game-changer – Dr. Berg's research suggests that brown spots and pigmentation are likely caused by a Vitamin D deficiency – not sun damage! He recommends taking 50,000 IU of Vitamin D to help eliminate these marks. I'll leave the link below for his video – I've already ordered my supplements and can’t wait to share the results!
Your Skin's Secret Messages
But here's something we really need to talk about – your lymphatic system might be struggling, and your skin is trying to tell you!
Think of your lymphatic system as your body's cleanup crew. When it gets sluggish, it shows up in ways you might not expect.
Could there be a link between your overall skin tone, pigmentation and brown marks?
Signs your lymphatic needs some love:
Morning puffiness (especially around your ears and eyes)
Skin that looks a bit like orange peel texture
Those random breakouts that make you question your age
Cuts and scrapes taking forever to heal
Extra fluid hanging around (hello, puffy under-chin & neck!)
The Inside-Out Connection
Here's something most people don't know about – your lymphatic system has a spiritual side too! When it's sluggish, it might be asking: What's weighing you down? What worries can't you let go of? Those emotional issues like fear, anger, and grief? They need releasing just as much as the physical stuff!
Nature's Skin Saviours
Let's talk about some amazing natural ingredients that can transform your skin:
AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) are like your skin's best friends. You can find them in:
Apple cider vinegar
Natural vitamin C sources
Witch Hazel
Grapefruit seed extract (amazing for skin clarity!)
Zinc oxide
Lavender and chamomile oils
Now, here's my favourite power combo – evening primrose oil and jojoba oil together are absolute magic! They:
Improve skin texture and elasticity
Calm inflammation
Help dissolve those stubborn blackheads and whiteheads
Reduce redness and scarring
Fight wrinkles
5 Easy Steps to Get Your Lymph Moving
Here's your daily mini-routine to kick that lymphatic system into gear:
Do each exercise 5-7 times
Place your thumbs under your chin, start at your jawline, massage upwards and towards your ears
Gently pinch along your eyebrows from inner to outer corners using your middle and index fingers
Use your thumbs to sweep from the bridge of your nose out to your ears
Do gentle circles under your eyes, moving towards the outer eye area
Massage from the middle of your forehead up to your hairline
Don’t forget to splash your face with cold water a few times when you wake in the morning.

Professional Treatments That Work
If you're looking for some serious results, here's what the professionals can do:
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) combined with microdermabrasion is a power duo for tackling those brown spots. You'll typically see amazing results within about 6 weeks, depending on how deep those marks are.
These treatments are perfect if you want faster, more dramatic results (hello, special event coming up!)
Plus, you get the benefit of professional guidance throughout your skin journey
Red Light Therapy - this works brilliantly to reduce pigmentation, brown marks and assist with giving your skin an overall glow. I like it best with a micro and IPL
Plasma Pen creates micro wounds on your skin which encourages your skin to produce more collagen & elastin. Also works to tighten, tone and gives skin an even surface. This treatment has a little bit of down time
Micro needling also works on stimulating the collagen by creating micro wounds on your skin, even the tone and texture. My advice if you are going to do this make sure it's with a trusted professional and don’t use the cheap micro needles that you can buy online.
Some of these machines can cost up to $100 000 or more so you can expect to pay between $100 - $500+ per treatment. Your professional therapist will probably set you up with a package if you are serious about changing you skin.
At-Home Transformation
Not ready for professional treatments? No worries! Here's your game plan:
Now, here's my favourite power combo; Mix evening primrose oil with jojoba oil and you've got yourself a power duo that helps with basically everything – texture, elasticity, inflammation, those annoying blackheads, and even wrinkles!

We've all had those moments staring in the mirror, wishing our skin would just... cooperate. Maybe you've spent a small fortune on products that promised the world but delivered, well, not so much.
Or perhaps you're still using the same skincare routine you had in your 20s or maybe you’re so busy doing life your skin care routine doesn’t exist anymore.
Here's the thing – getting that glow back and helping to remove brown marks and pigmentation won’t happen overnight and isn't about complicated 20-step routines or spending your coffee budget on fancy creams.
It's about working smarter, not harder, with your skin. And guess what? You can start right now, right where you are!
Why Now is Your Time to Shin
Remember how good it feels when someone says, "Wow, your skin looks amazing!"? That confidence boost is priceless! But it's not just about looking good – it's about feeling good in your skin and knowing you're taking care of yourself.
Let's be honest – Netflix isn't going anywhere (and yes, I love a good binge-watch too!), but your skin needs some love. The good news? You can actually do both! Pop on your favourite show while you give yourself a relaxing facial massage with your Gua Sha tool – multitasking at its finest!
Make It a Ritual (Not Just a Routine)
Here's the secret sauce – turn your skincare into a little self-care moment. Light a candle, put on your favourite playlist, and take those 5-10 minutes to just focus on you. Trust me, your skin (and your stress levels) will thank you!
