What are the methods for skin whitening?

There are many ways to whiten your skin. Choosing the right whitening products or having the right skin care plan can make your skin whiter and tenderer. You can whiten your skin by using whitening products on the market, or you can make your own whitening mask at home, which is healthier and has no side effects. But whitening does not rely solely on external factors, it also requires internal care. Next, let’s take a look at what lifestyle habits can help whiten your skin!

1. If it is not necessary, try to avoid going out between 10 am and 2 pm in summer, because the sunlight is the strongest and the ultraviolet rays are the most powerful during this period of the day, causing the greatest damage to the skin.

2. When going out, try to wear a hat, hold an umbrella, wear sunglasses, and wear long-sleeved clothes to protect your skin.

3. You should apply sunscreen every time you go out on a sunny day, and apply it every 2-3 hours. You should also apply sunscreen when swimming, and use a waterproof sunscreen with a high SPF.

4. As long as you have engaged in outdoor activities, no matter how much sun exposure you have, you should take a shower after returning home, and gently wipe your whole body in a massage manner, first with warm water, then with cold water, and apply some skin care lotion all over your body.

5. After exposure to the sun, if conditions permit, you can use a towel wrapped in ice cubes to cool the red and burned skin to relieve local heat, and try to avoid scratching with your hands, otherwise it will aggravate the formation of sun spots.

6. After sun exposure, you can also use fresh aloe vera at home, scrape out the aloe vera substance in the middle and apply it on the skin, which has a calming and whitening effect.

7. You should also apply sunscreen on your hands when going out, and you should also apply sunscreen when your arms, feet, and knees are exposed. This can not only protect you from the sun but also effectively reduce spots, especially the "age spots" that are formed prematurely after middle age.

8. Water is the holy grail of beauty. When you wake up in the morning, you should drink boiled water on an empty stomach as soon as possible. If you add a slice of lemon to the water, the beauty effect will be more obvious. Please also drink a small glass of water 30 minutes before going to bed at night to allow the cells to fully absorb it, which can effectively prevent the formation of wrinkles.

9. Eat more cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, oranges, etc., because they contain a lot of VC, which can effectively help restore melanin, assist in whitening and enhance immunity.

10. Getting enough sleep can effectively relieve life stress, and listening to more music are also good helpers for whitening.

11. Smoke less, drink less stimulating beverages, and get enough sleep to keep your skin soft and smooth.

All of the above can help whiten the skin. If you can persist in doing these for a long time, it will not only have a whitening effect, but also make the skin healthier. If you are a woman who cooks frequently, it is recommended that you use a cleansing mask and a whitening mask once a week. You can also use a moisturizing mask frequently, as both can help whiten your skin.
