Our skin color depends on melanin pigment, produced by melanocyte cells inside the skin. The ratio of pigment cells in the skin layer is related to genetics and race.
In addition, exposure to sunlight can darken the skin because the body increases melanin production to protect the skin. On the other hand, when exposed less, the skin will gradually become lighter. Over time, the cumulative effects of sunlight and environmental pollution accelerate skin aging.
Nowadays, due to the demand for full body whitening, many methods like whitening baths are available. However, in reality, these methods only have an effect on exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, and after a while, the skin will darken again. The important thing is that you have to change your daily habits.
– Drink plenty of water:
Water is the source of life and helps maintain the body’s moisture balance, support detoxification and metabolism. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day can make the skin more plump and elastic.
– Have a balanced diet:
Foods rich in vitamin C, E, and antioxidants, such as citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, nuts, etc. help make the skin look brighter and whiter.
Also, avoid consuming too much oily, sweet, and caffeinated foods as they can make the skin dull.
– Use whitening skincare products:
Choose skincare products that contain whitening ingredients (such as vitamin C, niacinamide…) can help improve the skin tone.
Using exfoliating products can also help the whitening ingredients be absorbed better, making the skin smoother. Pay attention to the method and frequency of product usage.
– Sun protection
Maintain sun protection measures when going outside, including applying sunscreen, wearing a hat and sunglasses, to reduce the damage of UV rays to the skin and prevent sunspots and melanin pigment.
– Maintain good habits:
Adequate sleep and regular activities are very important for the metabolic process and hormone balance of the body. This not only helps you feel energized but also helps rejuvenate and whiten the skin.
Also, avoid staying up late and overworking as it can lead to dull skin and premature aging.
– Regular body massage
You can use whitening oils or massage oils for massage, especially in areas prone to pigmentation and dullness such as neck, hands, and feet. The appropriate frequency is to perform a full-body massage 1-2 times per week.
