Body Whitening and Essential Things You Should Know

Your skin is experiencing damage problems that are difficult to heal, such as darkening, dryness, and roughness. The simple but effective ways of whitening the skin below will bring glowing and healthy skin day by day.

Always understand what the skin wants.

Before choosing cosmetics for our skin, let’s learn to listen to it. Once you understand what your skin wants, you’ll find the product that works best for you. Typically, moisturizing will be the priority for dry skin; the product to help open pores is significant for oily skin. Similarly, you need to understand sensitive areas such as the face more.

Detoxify the body to keep the skin healthy

Every day, we are exposed to the outside environment, which is full of dust and harmful bacteria. These effects cause the skin to weaken. Unhealthy skin will prevent the absorption of skin-whitening products, making them unable to work.

Therefore, you must keep your skin healthy and absorb nutrients well by detoxifying the body. Some simple ways to detox the body are as follows:

• Wake up with a glass of diluted lemon juice without sugar and a little honey every morning. This method will help the body eliminate toxins left over from last night’s elimination process.
• Daily exercise helps the body stay healthy and eliminates toxins through sweat. At the same time, it improves blood circulation, assisting the body and skin to be healthy and full of life.

3. Always apply sunscreen before sun exposure

• If you’re a girl who spends much time outdoors, look for sunscreen with SPF ~50 and PA+++/++++ that can block UVA and UVB rays.
• For the girl who works indoors, use SPF ~ 35 to always be safe for the skin.
• Only sunscreens with SPF 35 should be used on facial skin or sensitive skin. The higher the SPF, the higher the chemical concentration, which will easily irritate the skin.

4. Exfoliate regularly 2 times a week

It has been a long day outside, and the environment is full of smoke, dust, and bacteria. In addition to detoxifying the inside, removing dead skin cells from the outside is necessary.
Exfoliation helps the skin and collagen regeneration process, stimulates blood circulation, and removes dirt, residue, and dry skin. At that time, the skin can better absorb the whitening creams.

There are two methods of exfoliating the skin:

• Physical Exfoliation: Uses crystalline salts to act on the skin to remove dead cells mechanically. It only applies to body skin because salt is unsuitable for thin and sensitive skin.
• Chemical exfoliation: Use cleansers containing acids (salicylic acid, citric acid, and glycolic acid). These acids help break down the bonds between dead cells on the skin’s surface, making them easier to slough off. The skin is then awakened with a bright, smooth appearance. This type of exfoliant is more suitable for facial skin.

5. Moisturizing enough for the skin

If your skin does not have enough moisture, this will reduce the absorption efficiency of skin-whitening products. On the other hand, when the skin is not moisturized enough, along with the whitening agents in skin-whitening products, it is easy for the skin to become weaker and more sensitive, leading to skin poisoning due to overuse of many chemicals. So, take care of your skin every day in addition to whitening!

6. Do not use bleaching chemicals

The use of chemical peels dramatically affects your skin and health. Mild cases can cause skin inflammation and itching, while more severe cases can lead to skin cancer…

Therefore, the first thing you must remember when whitening your whole body is not to use chemical peels. Chemical peels are techniques that use chemicals to destroy the outermost layers of skin cells. These are just cells in the outer epidermis, not inhibiting melanin—the leading cause of your skin becoming darker. Therefore, they should not be used for your safety.

7. Do not use white bath ingredients of unknown origin

Unknown whitening bath ingredients bring dire consequences for your skin. This is a critical skin care note that you need to remember. The skin is not only not bright white but also severely damaged by the ingredients in the whitening bath products. In particular, the consequences are even more because of the desire to have white and bright skin quickly, using methods of rapid body whitening of unknown origin. Therefore, before using, it is necessary to carefully consider the ingredient list of whitening products to ensure safety.

• Choose the right skin whitening products

• If you want pink and white skin, you must be patient.

Any beauty method takes time for the skin to absorb all the nutrients deep inside. The shedding cycle usually ranges from 28 to 30 days. Therefore, any skin care product needs about 1 month to achieve the desired effect. Note that when taking care of the skin, products labeled “urgent” often leave consequences such as dermatitis and irritation. Hence, it is necessary to pay attention every time you use them.
