What is the method to whiten skin?

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays or failure to take good care of the skin in daily life may cause the skin to turn yellow and darker. It is best to take good care of the skin while eating more foods that can effectively improve the skin's antioxidant capacity and whiten the skin to help the skin continue to improve. Let's take a look at some common methods that can effectively whiten the skin.

A. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C

Cherries, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, oranges, etc. are rich in vitamin C, which can help restore melanin and prevent the formation of dark spots and freckles, making the skin more lustrous and radiant with a healthy glow. Eat less animal liver, beans, peaches and other foods, because the copper or zinc contained in these foods will make the skin darker. In addition, you should also eat less photosensitive foods such as celery, fennel, white radish, and coriander, as they will cause dark spots on the skin after being exposed to the sun.

B. Homemade Vitamin C Beauty Water

One lemon, a small glass of vodka, a cup of distilled water, and a teaspoon of glycerin. Chop the lemon peel into fine pieces and soak it in vodka for about half a day. Add distilled water and glycerin to the wine soaked in lemon peels, shake until smooth, and then store in the refrigerator. After washing your face, gently pat your face with lemon beauty water taken out of the refrigerator. This will moisturize your skin and make it elastic. It can also tighten pores and effectively control oil. However, people with sensitive skin should not use it casually to avoid irritating the skin. It should be remembered that this method is suitable for night time and should be avoided during the day.

C. Oral vitamin C

Although vitamin C is widely present in vegetables and fruits, it is very unstable, has a short shelf life and is easily oxidized. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the ideal maintenance and beauty effects by only consuming the amount from vegetables, fruits and melons. Beauty experts recommend taking some vitamin C supplements orally to effectively achieve whitening, moisturizing, and anti-oxidation effects and improve dull skin. Big S also wrote in the book "Beauty Queen" that vitamin C has the effect of whitening the skin and should be taken morning and evening. Even if you take too much vitamin C, it will be excreted in the urine and will not be stored in the body. It is okay to supplement some at night if needed.

Long-term dehydration of the skin will also cause the skin to become yellow and dark to varying degrees. It is best to replenish the skin with enough water every day. You can use some hydrating masks, such as seaweed masks. It can not only effectively replenish moisture, but also have an anti-inflammatory and calming effect, alleviating various discomforts caused by dehydration.
