What facial cleanser can whiten your skin?

Nowadays, many people have beautiful facial features, but the only problem is dark skin. Everyone wants to have fair and tender skin, so they pay more attention to washing their faces. Don’t think that facial cleansers and toners can whiten your skin. This has no whitening effect. Facial cleansers can clean the melanin in the skin, and the skin can become whiter after cleaning. In addition, there are many misunderstandings about whitening, which everyone needs to pay attention to.

Whitening misunderstanding 1: Facial cleansers and toners can whiten your skin

Many brands have launched whitening facial cleansers, and conceptually claim that whitening starts with cleansing, but in fact this is more of a concept hype. Facial cleanser stays on the skin for such a short time, and its main function is to cleanse the skin. Even if whitening ingredients are added to it, they cannot work so quickly. The same goes for whitening and toning products. Its main function is to balance the skin's pH value. The concentration of whitening products in them is very small, so the effect is of course quite limited.

Whitening misunderstanding 2: The skin is already very white, so there is no need to use whitening products

Not only people with fair skin, but some people who admire wheat-colored skin also think that they do not need to use whitening products. In fact, these ideas are the same as those who think that whitening care is to "bleach" the skin. They are all wrong concepts. The biggest function of whitening care is to help the skin block the production of melanin, disperse existing spots, and make the skin look even and bright.

Whitening Misconception 3: Fantasy of becoming Snow White overnight

For girls who are eager to be beautiful, they would like to have delicate and fair skin overnight. However, whitening is a gradual process. Skin care products that claim to quickly whiten and remove freckles are likely to contain ingredients such as mercury or hydroquinone. Be careful, as these ingredients will greatly damage your skin. If you really can't help it and want to try whitening methods such as fruit acid peels or laser freckle removal, you must go to a professional hospital or beauty salon.

Whitening misunderstanding 4: Whitening products can eradicate spots on the face

It is absolutely impossible for whitening skin care products to remove spots on the face. Its function is to disperse the melanin more evenly, break down the pigment particles into smaller pieces and inhibit the production of melanin. The end result is to fade the spots, reduce the chance of spot formation, and make the complexion look more even and bright. However, if not properly maintained, the spots will appear again.

Whitening misunderstanding 5: Regardless of product ingredients

Many less formal beauty salons will recommend you to use some quick-acting whitening products. Be careful not to cause irreparable damage to your skin for the sake of temporary beauty. Those harmful ingredients may make your skin whiter in the short term, but as time goes by, some pigmentation and sensitive symptoms will bother you more, or even cause devastating damage to your skin.
