It can penetrate quickly Skin, while not affecting cell proliferation concentration, can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin, block the formation of melanin, and accelerate the decomposition and excretion of melanin by directly combining with tyrosinase, thereby reducing skin Pigment deposition, remove spots and freckles, and does not produce toxic, irritating, sensitizing and other side effects on melanocytes.

However, this is only based on the experimental cells obtained by the laboratory. According to the data, it is still inconclusive whether the situation will be the same in the human body. Regarding the possible side effects of arbutin, the Taiwan Department of Health announced the concentration limit of arbutin in 1989. The concentration of arbutin added in all whitening cosmetics cannot exceed the maximum. 7%.

There is no doubt that all girls want to have snow-white skin like Snow White. There has always been an old saying in our country that "one white covers three uglies", but because we are all yellow, it is impossible to reach Europe. For a person's fair complexion, the standard for whitening should be healthy, bright, and exuding a natural, white and rosy luster. Now, more and more beauty experts are warning: pursue whitening, not paleness.
It should be said that every girl should achieve a healthy fair complexion, because gray cheeks indicate a lack of oxygen in the body and poor lung function. Too pale skin indicates a lack of folic acid, iron and vitamins.
In addition to being beautiful, smart girls also need to be healthy. Therefore, whitening has become the first step in preventing cancer and anti-aging.
To achieve the best whitening effect, you should first understand how the skin darkens. Whether the skin is fair or not mainly depends on the ability of melanocytes to synthesize melanin. Under our skin, there are many melanocytes, which undergo a series of complex metabolic processes and finally form melanin. The more melanin the skin is darker, the less melanin the skin is whiter.
Many people think that ultraviolet rays in the sun are the culprit that makes skin darken. In fact, this is just one of the reasons. The other two culprits are the accumulation of toxins in the body and the sudden stimulation of cells.
The toxins in the skin are mainly free radicals, which release melanin. Various pollution, radiation and smoke in life will accelerate the formation of free radicals. In addition, pollution in life can cause inflammation in skin cells. That is to say, the cells are suddenly stimulated. At this time, in order to treat their own inflammation, the cells will naturally secrete a substance, and this substance can also promote the production of melanin. generate.
Scientists point out that before the age of 25, various black spots are "reversible" and can slowly turn white on their own without any help. However, once the peak period of 25 years old is passed, the skin begins to decline, and the darkened spots or skin must rely on internal care to return to its original white color.
So, for girls who love health, they must take good care of their precious skin after the age of 25!
In daily life, if you want to have fair skin, you should eat more foods rich in vitamin C.
Vitamin C can interrupt the process of melanin formation, reduce melanin deposition, accelerate the restoration and whitening of the skin, and even reduce the original dark spots. You may wish to eat more foods rich in vitamin C.
When it comes to fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, you may be familiar with them, such as cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, water spinach, tomatoes, oranges, lemons, hawthorns, citrus, strawberries, etc.
Among them, strawberries, kiwis, tomatoes, and lemons can be regarded as natural whitening products, especially lemons. Among the whitening skin care products launched every year, lemons always dominate. , and can also dilute the melanin that has formed.
Drinking a glass of lemon water every morning is an excellent way to beautify yourself. This is also a required course for many entertainment stars.
In addition, cabbage, onions, and radishes in vegetables have a very good melatonin effect. The cystine content in corn is very rare in food. It can help you block ultraviolet rays. Yogurt, white fungus, and barley They can both make your skin fairer and remove toxins from the body, so there’s no harm in consuming more of them. Especially in summer, you might as well drink more sweet soups to relieve heat and whiten your skin. These are especially helpful for whitening your skin.
Now we introduce the most effective whitening soup. If you drink this soup regularly, your skin will not only become whiter, but also become rosy.
Materials: 2 Sydney pears, 3-4 Tremella fuciformis, 5 red dates, and appropriate amount of rock sugar.
Method: Peel and core the snow pears, soak the white fungus until soft, remove the cores from the red dates, then add water and simmer for 2 hours.
Many girls think that if they want to become whiter, they should eat white things, such as milk, soy milk, etc. Although these things are very good for the body, there is really no scientific basis for this idea. If conditions permit, washing your face with milk is a good way to whiten your face.
As for many types of food, some are easily sensitive to light, such as celery, leeks, coriander, red beans, etc. After these foods enter the body, if they are exposed to ultraviolet rays immediately, they will easily produce spots.
As for fruits such as carrots, papayas, citrus, and mangoes, because they are rich in yellow carotene, your complexion will easily turn yellow if you eat too much.
After all, food has different nutritional contents and different effects on the human body, so girls don’t have to stop eating because of choking, as long as they don’t overeat. For those foods that are easily sensitive to light, you can choose to eat them at night .
In addition, don’t drink too much coffee and eat less salt, because the melanin contained in salt can deposit pigments and affect the body’s metabolism. Over time, the skin will become rough. If you consume too much salt, If there is too much, you should increase your water intake to allow the excess salt to be excreted from the body as soon as possible.
Try not to eat food with food additives added.
The internal organs of healthy people can maintain normal metabolism and allow melanin to be discharged smoothly. However, if too many artificial additives are added to the food, it will burden the internal organs and cause melanin deposition. If you really can't bear to give up these delicious foods, it doesn't matter, just eat more fruits and vegetables that can detoxify.
As long as the internal foundation of the body is laid, not only the facial skin, but also the skin in other parts will be whitened.
If you want to be 100% beautiful, every inch of your skin should be moist and tender, so you should take more beauty baths.
The most obvious effect on body whitening is to take a rose essential oil bath.
Put one or two drops of rose essential oil in a bathtub filled with water. Since the purity of essential oil is very high, adding too much is often counterproductive, and may even burn the skin in severe cases.
Taking a bath can increase blood circulation and make the skin all over the body stronger.
Solving the internal problems and adding some external whitening products can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, the current whitening products are almost dazzling, and smart girls must pay attention.
Whitening products containing arbutin cannot be used during the day! Because although arbutin has a good whitening effect, it also absorbs light, making it easier to get darker when used during the day.
All skin care products that claim to be able to "quickly whiten" contain skin care products such as fruit acids, A acids or enzymes, which can speed up the metabolism of the epidermis and make the skin whiter in a short time.
Generally speaking, we all think that the higher the content of fruit acids, A acids or enzymes, the better. However, for this acidic whitening product, you must pay attention to its ingredients and content. According to regulations, if the concentration of arbutin exceeds 6% to 7%, it cannot be used on the face, kojic acid can only account for 2% of the product, and the dosage of vitamin C derivative MAP should be limited to 3%. As for other whitening products The maximum ingredients of the product cannot exceed 10%, otherwise it will exceed the scope of ordinary skin care products, so it is best not to buy it.
In addition, do not use it continuously for more than six months, because it will make the skin epidermis thin, which is the cause of many sensitive skin.
It is worth reminding that any whitening product is irritating, so you must be careful when using it and do not use it for a long time.
Some girls are born with dark skin, so they often use exfoliating products in the hope of whitening. But imagine, if you exfoliate every day, your skin will definitely become thinner and more susceptible to damage.
As long as you want to become a fair-skinned beauty, you must give yourself time. It will take at least a month. If you want to become white in a week, it is completely impossible. Even if you look good both internally and externally, you still have to calculate it on a monthly basis. Maybe next month will only be a little whiter than last month, but you don’t have to be discouraged.
In addition, don’t have too high expectations. If you don’t often wear navel-baring clothes, then no matter how white your face is, it won’t be as good as your belly.
The last thing to pay attention to is, of course, sun protection. In fact, people have many misunderstandings about sun protection.
1. Be sure to apply sunscreen
In order to achieve the ideal white skin, girls have tried their best. In fact, the businesses that desperately promote "sunscreen is a must" are, firstly, to promote products, and secondly, because of the current situation in China. Popular foreign products are not suitable for yellow skin, because the skin color of people in European and American countries is too different from ours.
From a medical point of view, the less melanin the skin contains, the easier it is to be burned by ultraviolet rays. Therefore, white people in European and American countries are the biggest victims. In addition, they like to sunbathe. Having bronzed skin is healthy. As a result, the number of people suffering from skin cancer has increased sharply. Therefore, foreign beauty books and cosmetics pay great attention to sun protection.
The yellow skin of Chinese people contains more melanin and is not easily damaged by ultraviolet rays. In addition, yellow skin is not sensitive to ultraviolet rays. Therefore, skin experts recommend that people use sunscreen as little as possible.
Experts believe: "It's extremely hot in summer. You will sweat even if you exercise a little. With a thick layer of sunscreen on your face, your skin will definitely feel uncomfortable. If you stay in the sun for a while, the function of sunscreen will be It will subside. If you stay in the sun for a long time, you need to reapply it every two or three hours, plus you sweat, and you can imagine the feeling. Moreover, the small particles of sunscreen will clog the pores and affect the sweat. On the other hand, although sunscreen can absorb ultraviolet rays, it can also irritate the skin, and many people are allergic to sunscreen. ”
2. Sun protection is only needed in summer
When summer comes, girls take action one after another and various sunscreens come on the market. In fact, sun protection should be paid attention to all year round, because the ultraviolet index generally represents UVB At high levels, it can cause redness or even sunburn on your skin. What really causes you to tan, cause spots and wrinkles to appear on your skin is UVA. Its content in ultraviolet rays accounts for more than 98%. It is weak in intensity, but has extremely strong penetrating power. Even through thick glass in the office, it will damage you. tan.
Although the UVB in ultraviolet rays in winter is indeed lower than in summer, UVA is almost constant throughout the year, and the latter is more harmful to the skin. Therefore, if you attach great importance to whitening, you need to wear sunscreen whether it is winter or summer.
3. The higher the SPF (sun protection index), the better
Currently, the highest SPF value of sunscreen on the market has reached 30. The higher the SPF value, the more sunscreen agents. In fact, it is not necessary to use sunscreen with the highest SPF value. Generally, around 10 to 15 is enough. This kind of sunscreen will at least not harm the skin excessively.
In addition, when purchasing sunscreen produced in European and American countries, be sure to read the instructions clearly, because many people in European and American countries regard being dark as beautiful, but are worried that sunbathing may cause cancer, so they deliberately use sunscreen that can tan the skin. Sunscreen.
Although ultraviolet rays are dangerous in one way or another, girls do not need to be particularly nervous or avoid it at any time. In any case, sunlight is an important source of synthetic vitamin D after all.
Some people are worried about getting tanned and hide at home all day long. This is not a good idea either. Because you often don't see the sun, your skin will become very delicate and more likely to be burned. Instead of staying away from it, it is better to slowly adapt to it.
In fact, even in the middle of summer, you should do some outdoor activities appropriately, so that your skin will be stronger and healthier.
In addition, the strongest sunlight time of the day is from 11 am to 3 pm. It is best not to go out during this short period. If you must go out, you should remember the following points:
1. Apply SPF15 sunscreen 20 minutes before going out. During this time, the epidermis can absorb part of the sunscreen ingredients. Once you sweat, the sunscreen will be washed away, maintaining a better sunscreen effect.
2. Wear a hat, glasses, long-sleeved tops, and long pants.
3. Apply sunscreen to all exposed areas, every two to three hours.
If the skin has been slightly burned, you should immediately apply a cold towel, or use watermelon rind or aloe vera. The vitamin C in watermelon rind can calm the skin, and aloe vera has anti-inflammatory effects and can improve skin condition. red phenomenon.
Generally speaking, burned skin can recover after one or two days of conditioning. If the skin recovers too slowly, it means that it is not healthy anymore, and it is necessary to strengthen its resistance. In addition, excessive maintenance will also make the skin become delicate and cause more problems.
