Having skin, especially white, smooth facial skin is the desire of all women. With the following facial whitening methods, surely even the rough, ugly skin will become smooth like a baby’s skin.

1. What causes you to not have fair skin?

Understanding the causes of dark, uneven skin tone will help you reduce risk factors and whiten your skin more effectively. Specifically, common causes of this unwanted skin tone include:

1.1. Genetic factors

In fact, Vietnamese people have “red blood, yellow skin”, so our skin is difficult to be white and pink like European people. In addition, many people have darker skin than normal due to genetic factors.

Many people think that this cause cannot be overcome, but if you nourish, whiten and protect your skin well, your skin can still improve.

There are many causes of dark skin.

1.2. Nutritional factors

An unreasonable daily diet and inadequate supplementation of essential nutrients are also causes of dull skin. The cause is due to the body lacking nutrients, the skin is not well nourished, increasing the risk of melamine infection, dryness and discoloration.

1.3. Pathological factors

Diseases such as liver failure, kidney failure, hormonal disorders, iron accumulation, etc. can also darken your skin. Combining treatment with skin whitening methods will help you overcome this condition.

Light from computer screens can darken skin

1.4. Frequent exposure to computer light or frequent late sleep

These two factors greatly affect skin health. When working a lot with computers, light shines directly on the skin, increasing melanin production, causing dark circles and dull skin. Going to bed late often also makes the skin tired, dark and more problematic. Therefore, arrange a reasonable rest time, do not use the computer too late, ensure deep sleep from 11am to 3am every night.

1.5. Hormonal disorders

The activity of hormones such as progesterone and estrogen in the body also affects the production of melanin. Especially during pregnancy, menopause, and premenopause, the body’s hormones are easily disrupted, melanin is more active, causing the skin to darken.

1.6. Impact of UV rays

This is a skin darkening agent that is abundant in sunlight. If the skin is not protected with sunscreen and cover, UV rays will stimulate melanin production, and damage the skin. Mild cases cause dark, uneven skin tone, more severe cases can cause skin burns with a burning sensation and peeling.

UV rays stimulate melanin production, darkening the skin.

1.7. Skin is not moist enough

The cause may be due to not drinking enough water, lack of sebum secretion or poor moisturizing, causing the skin to become dry and more easily irritated by environmental factors. This often causes the skin to become dark, blotchy, and wrinkled, which is very difficult to restore. Therefore, moisturizing the skin is an indispensable step in general skin care and skin whitening in particular.

1.8. Skin damage caused by using whitening cosmetics

Instant whitening cosmetics often contain strong detergents that erode the outer layer of the skin. Therefore, immediately after use, the skin may appear brighter and smoother, but after a while the skin will become darker and uglier.

In addition, there are many other factors that affect melanin production and blood circulation under the skin, causing darker skin color. To effectively whiten your skin, you need to minimize these risk factors and combine them with regular whitening measures.

2. Extremely effective ways to whiten facial skin

There are many ways to whiten facial skin , but they include the following 3 main groups:

2.1. Skin whitening with daily care

From the causes of dark skin, you can perform the following daily care steps to improve skin health and whiten effectively:

Step 1: Cleanse skin

If you want healthy, bright skin, cleansing is very important. Clean skin will absorb nutrients better.

Daily moisturizing is important for healthy and glowing skin.

Step 2: Use toner containing vitamin C whitening essence .

This step helps to firm the skin and minimize pores. You should prioritize choosing natural cosmetics or reputable brands to ensure safety.

Step 3: Apply a mask containing whitening vitamins such as A, E, C.

Applying a mask has many benefits such as cleansing the skin, providing more moisture and nutrients to the skin. You should persevere in applying a mask about 3 times a week, your skin will definitely improve.

Step 4: Apply serum with whitening and moisturizing ingredients.

Moisturizing is recommended for all skin types, especially dry and damaged skin. You should choose a moisturizer that is suitable for each skin type, does not cause irritation, and does not clog pores. Moisturizing the skin well and regularly will help prevent the appearance of dark areas such as the cheeks and dark spots and age spots.

Step 5. Lock in moisture.

This step helps prevent skin from losing water from the inside.

Step 6: Apply sunscreen daily.

Sunscreen should be used daily, regardless of whether it is sunny or not, to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays in sunlight. Sunscreen should be suitable for the skin, have an SPF of 15 or higher, be effective in blocking UV rays and not cause irritation. In addition to sunscreen, it is necessary to combine skin protection with hats, masks, and sun-protective clothing every time you go out.

2.2. Use whitening nutrients

There are many types of nutrients that help whiten skin naturally in skin care cosmetics such as:

Vitamin C : Vitamin C has antioxidant effects, neutralizes free radicals, and effectively whitens the skin. However, using Vitamin C makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, so better skin protection is needed.

Salicylic acid : This nutrient exfoliates, helps treat acne and removes dark scars, dull skin, and restores naturally bright white skin.

Niacin : This nutrient has a similar mechanism of action on the skin as vitamin C, helping to neutralize free radicals, reduce wrinkles, and make the skin brighter and healthier.

Vitamin C is an effective skin whitening agent.

2.3. Skin whitening treatment

Faster-acting skin whitening methods that should be performed under the guidance of a dermatologist include:

Laser treatment : Laser beams with appropriate intensity have the effect of improving skin tone, whitening skin, fading dark scars, etc.

Hydroquinone : Used in appropriate amounts to effectively remove dark, blotchy areas on the face.

Biological peeling : Uses chemicals that can exfoliate dead skin and damaged outer skin layers, restoring new, healthy skin.

With these special facial whitening methods , you should follow the instructions of your doctor or dermatologist. If you do it yourself or do it incorrectly, your skin can be damaged and darker.
