Juice
Another common home remedy for natural skin lightening is freshly squeezed juices. They are rich in vitamins and nutrients that are beneficial for the skin. However, some fruits and vegetables, on the contrary, stimulate melanin synthesis and enhance the skin's absorption of sunlight. If you want to lighten your skin, avoid drinking orange, carrot, and celery juice, especially before going out.
Why do piquant places get dark?
Many people complain that their private parts often become dark. Although this is a common occurrence, it is not a serious cause for concern. However, there are rare cases of a condition called acanthokeratoderma.
It is characterized by darkened skin and requires special treatment. So before you try home remedies to lighten your skin, make sure that your case is not acanthokeratoderma. Before using each product, it is also necessary to conduct a skin test for allergies.
Body care is an important component of most cosmetic procedures. Caring for intimate areas turns out to be the most difficult, since the skin in these places is sensitive, prone to various types of rashes, allergic reactions and darkening.
But darkened skin in sensitive areas makes us uncomfortable, and can even cause stress and self-doubt. Therefore, the question of how to whiten your armpits, or how to whiten the skin between your legs, is relevant for most of us. And especially for women who always strive to have a perfect appearance.
Although it is completely normal to have dark skin in your private parts, this darkening can be caused by several medical reasons. Which you need to consider before bleaching your skin.
Exfoliation
Another way to lighten is to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin. Many girls believe that whitening products will be much more effective if applied after treating the skin with a scrub. Most whitening products already have exfoliating properties. There is no need for additional aggressive effects of the scrub.
Cosmetics for skin lightening
An effective modern procedure is to use a laser to whiten facial skin. Many aesthetic medicine clinics or online beauty salons have special devices for resurfacing the skin or carefully removing its rough top layer. Getting rid of dead cells allows you to even out your skin tone and achieve noticeable lightening.
You should be careful with tablets and creams imported from China and Thailand. Local girls have had a cult of white skin for centuries, and nowadays manufacturers of cosmetic products actively take advantage of this.
Many creams contain mercury, which is poisonous to humans. Its permissible limit is exceeded thousands of times compared to its European and American counterparts. Of course, mercury gives a quick lightening effect, but when it accumulates in the skin, it poisons the body. The composition of the tablets with instructions written in hieroglyphs is a complete mystery that it is better not to try on yourself.
In beauty salons you can make a peeling or mask based on patented foreign cosmetics, but a whole course is needed to achieve the goal. Salon treatments are not cheap, so it is better to take care of your skin at home by choosing a suitable cream or mask made from natural ingredients.
Face masks
In the hope of speeding up the whitening process, some girls daily subject themselves to all sorts of cosmetic procedures: masks, peelings, washing with various means, etc. However, instead of benefit, they only get harm. The skin also needs time to adapt to new care, and such non-stop exposure will only lead to damage and irritation. In fact, whitening procedures can be done 1-2 times a week. If you are sure that a particular mask has a gentle effect on the skin, you can use it daily. In a week. Then take a break for 7 days.
Use various creams and other substances
Use them to wash your skin and then start exfoliating.
Thanks to the use of creams, as well as other cosmetics, you will get great pleasure. Your actions will cause the top part of the skin (the part that was exposed to the negative effects of the sun) to peel off.
However, you should not exfoliate too aggressively. Due to such actions, oil production may stop. The one that is natural. And is secreted by the skin to counteract oil buildup. As a result, your skin may begin to become oily.
Powder
Applying powder will positively affect the skin tone of your face. She can lighten it up. It will also help you get rid of various stains.
As an alternative to powder, you can use traditional baby powder. It is very light. Therefore, it has the ability to sufficiently fill the pores.
At the same time, the powder has a white tint. Accordingly, it should be applied in moderation. Otherwise, your face will become too white.
Lightening cream
Stores sell creams that have lightening properties. Be careful when using such products. Some of them contain so-called hydroquinone. This substance is quite dangerous to use. Because it is classified as a carcinogen.
Buy kojic acid cream instead. The latter was tested for a long time. And in the end they confirmed that it is safe to use. Accordingly, we were allowed to release similar products on the market.
Kojic acid should be added to the product in an amount of no more than 2%. It is quite safe to use. And thanks to it, your skin will become light.
Whitening Serum
Due to the high concentration of active ingredients, whitening serum is a powerful treatment. It is absolutely not suitable for irritated skin after sunbathing. In addition, too thick a consistency and a concentration of whitening ingredients can cause irritation even on healthy skin. Therefore, before applying the serum not to the entire face. Try it on a small area. Once you are sure that your skin reacts normally to this product, apply it all over your face.
Useful tips
A clay mask perfectly helps to nourish the skin and remove dead cells. After dissolving the powder purchased at the pharmacy with warm water and applying the resulting paste to your face and neck, you should let it dry. After washing off the layer of clay, the skin will become smooth and silky, and the complexion will be more fresh.
The mask is well suited for girls going on vacation to the sea. After it, the tan will lie evenly, but you still shouldn’t neglect protective equipment.
Particular attention should be paid to the quality of cosmetics and creams. If you experience even a mild allergic reaction or unpleasant tingling sensation during use, you will have to discard this product. The skin of the face is very delicate and should be as comfortable as possible.
The cause of pigmentation can be metabolic and hormonal imbalance in the body. Pregnancy and childbirth, taking certain medications and even severe stress contribute to the appearance of brown spots on the skin. Sometimes they disappear on their own after the body’s condition normalizes, but more often they have to be countered using the above methods.
Drink 6–7 glasses of water per day
Moisturizing is of great importance for complexion. One of the simplest, most effective ways to naturally lighten and rejuvenate the skin is to follow a drinking regime. Taking into account the level of activity, the daily fluid requirement is 1.5–2 liters. Drink at least 6 glasses of water daily. You can replace part of the norm with natural juices.
