Looking white and translucent is a word used by the general public or in advertisements to describe skin. So if you translate it into a professional vocabulary, what are the characteristics of this kind of skin?
First of all, such skin must have good stratum corneum care. If old cuticles are not shed in time, the skin will look dull and dull, without a "transparent" feeling.
Secondly, such skin tends to have a uniform skin color, without obvious inflammation and local pigmentation problems, otherwise it will look a little dirty or red. This kind of redness is different from white and rosy, and is often not described as "transparent".
Thirdly, such skin often has a higher water content, refracts light well, and has a shiny feeling. (I always feel that the one in the picture is a bit oily)
Finally, such skin should be fairer, with better health and metabolism, with a faint healthy luster and natural subcutaneous tone. Features will give you a sense of transparency.
Seeing this, some friends who understand skin care will immediately react to some care methods in their minds. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Let me explain to you how these are achieved:
1. Cuticle care:
The rough cuticle can also easily harbor dirt and evil people and practices. It’s not easy to have a perfect makeup look, and it’s also easy to fail to remove makeup thoroughly, which leads to further increase in stress. It’s also easy to break out acne and hinder the absorption of skin care products.
Use skin care ingredients to manage cuticles. Some chemical exfoliating ingredients can fight aging while smoothing cuticles, and can also fight acne. Learn about such good things quickly! Do not use rough physical scrubs on your face. This will damage the skin barrier layer and cause more problems.
2. Inflammation and pigmentation:
The two are often causally related. Usually inflammation can easily lead to local skin pigmentation, such as black acne marks and lip inflammation caused by lip inflammation. Blackening around the head, etc. These inflammations need to be addressed immediately with appropriate medications, and then the "precipitated pigment" left over from history can be dealt with using a reasonable whitening program combined with active sun protection.
3. Moisture content:
Use various products to create a decent moisturizing system. Pay more attention to which moisturizing ingredients are suitable for you and which products can cope with what kind of situations (season, place). Pay attention to the moisture content of your skin, and don’t spray it frequently to quench your thirst. Make sure you drink enough water and have a healthy routine.
4. Healthy whitening:
For most people, sun protection alone will not make us significantly whiter. What we need is a reliable whitening solution, which is usually best formed by one or several active ingredients combined with an overall skin care solution. These ingredients often need to be scientifically proven to be effective, and the products need to be safe and reliable. Not only that, but you also need to insist on using it every day.
I personally like some vitamin C derivatives, which are more stable and less irritating than vitamin C.
At the same time, vitamin b3, nicotinamide, is also what I often use. In addition to its whitening effect, it can also be anti-inflammatory and anti-aging. It is a multi-functional skin care expert.
In addition, arbutin is also a very common whitening ingredient and can be used in combination to try which one is best for your skin.
