Whitening tips to make your skin appear brighter in a short period of time!

Although Easter has just ended, whitening is a lifetime thing! Despite the economic impact of the pandemic, it does not stop skin aging. Long-wavelength UVA rays shining through the window can darken the skin without notice. Prolonged wearing of masks can cause keratin buildup, dryness, and dehydration of the skin, leading to dull and lifeless complexion. Do you feel regretful about the current condition of your skin? Now is the best time to whiten and protect your skin, so take action now! In addition to usual sun protection and skincare, there are some lifestyle tips and beauty treatments that can help adjust your skin to be whiter and better in a short time

Five practical skin-whitening tips:

1. Do a Good Job of Sun Protection

Sunlight contains ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB), among which UVA can penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of melanin.

Therefore, it is recommended to choose a suitable sunscreen product, reapply every 2-4 hours, and wear hats and masks at appropriate times to protect the face, avoiding tanning and uneven skin tone issues.

In addition to sunscreen and skin care products, there are also small secrets in daily life! Carry UV-resistant sunglasses with you, which can effectively block the damage to the skin around the eyes from sudden light.

2. Regulate your daily routine and get enough sleep

Getting enough sleep can make your skin more elastic and glossy, while lack of sleep can cause skin dullness and affect your overall health. If you want to have good complexion in a short time, it is recommended to nourish your body from the inside, avoid staying up late, and maintain a healthy daily routine.

3. Healthy eating habits

It is well known that eating more fruits and vegetables is helpful for whitening, and the most important ingredient is vitamin C. Skin darkening is closely related to the activity level of melanocytes, and vitamin C can effectively reduce the activity level of melanocytes, making the skin fairer. In addition to obtaining it from natural foods, we can also choose to take vitamin C supplements orally (please note that taking too much vitamin C at once will be automatically excreted by the body, so it is recommended to take it twice a day for better absorption).

Furthermore, it is necessary to avoid excessive intake of sugar in daily diet to prevent “glycation reaction” of the skin, which can make the skin collagen yellow and brittle, leading to dull complexion. Eating less sugar and refined starch foods can also help in skin whitening.

4. Regular Exfoliation and Moisturizing

If there is an excessive buildup of keratin on the face, it can clog pores and make the skin appear darker. Regular exfoliation can promote the metabolism and renewal of keratin, maintaining healthy and bright skin.

Moisturizing is also essential. The human body is composed of 70% water, and when the body lacks water, the skin will be affected. In addition to necessary skincare moisturizing, it is also important to consume sufficient amounts of water every day to promote body metabolism and make the skin more radiant and translucent.

5. Laser Optical Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

Laser optical skin rejuvenation is a comprehensive skin treatment performed by a dermatologist who selects the most suitable treatment combination from a series of optical instruments (lasers) based on individual skin conditions and needs, while improving skin tone and texture.

This treatment effectively improves and evens out skin tone, reduces brown spots such as freckles and sunspots, reduces redness and broken capillaries, accelerates the fading of acne scars, and promotes collagen production to enhance skin quality. In addition, it can also be used to treat rosacea, and is suitable for sensitive skin.

．Treatment Process:

Each treatment lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, and eye masks or protective eye pads are needed to protect the eyes. When the laser touches the skin, there may be a slight stinging sensation (similar to being snapped with a rubber band). If necessary, an anesthetic cream can be applied one hour before treatment to reduce discomfort.

．Post-Treatment Care:

The skin can be cleaned and cared for as usual, but for one week after treatment, do not use any products that can rub or irritate the skin, such as retinoids, various fruit acids, and vitamin C. At the same time, use effective sunscreen products to protect the skin from UV damage.

Precautions：
Before treatment, try to avoid exposing the skin to sunlight or tanning, otherwise, there may be an increased risk of adverse reactions such as burns.
Within two weeks after completing the treatment, the treated area should be particularly protected from sun exposure. If bumps appear on the skin after treatment, avoid scratching them and let them fall off naturally, otherwise, they may leave black marks that may take several months to heal.
