When does the need to whiten your face arise?
Since ancient times, white skin on the face has been considered beautiful. Thin, delicate skin will never go out of fashion. But for some reason, today women can rarely boast of such a natural facial condition; it often expresses the activity of internal organs that are not always completely healthy.
Emerging defects on the face:
- Presence of freckles and pigmentation. They negatively affect the appearance of the skin.
- Tan on the face. The skin became dark or unnaturally red.
- The complexion has become gray or yellowish.
- Scars and red dots appeared. The procedures were unsuccessful.
If a woman has one or more of the problems described, then it is not worth masking her face with different foundation powders or creams. Because the skin of the face, among other things, will also stop breathing. Then the inflammatory process may begin.
Causes of unsatisfactory facial tone:
- Grayness on the face occurs due to poor liver health or
- Unsuccessful tanning poses a risk of dry skin and inflammation
- Mechanical damage
- Hormonal disorders
- Insufficient elasticity of blood vessels is reflected by spots on the face
After identifying the cause, you need to take measures to eliminate it. You should also work on your face to quickly get clear, fair skin. In this case, facial skin is exposed to bleaching agents.
Sometimes pigment spots appear in old age. They indicate a slowdown in metabolic processes or insufficient activity of the gallbladder and liver. Pigment spots have a bad effect on the appearance of the skin, but they are difficult to hide with foundation.
If the procedure in a beauty salon is carried out unsuccessfully, then traces of it may remain for a long time. In some cases, these are stains after tanning in the salon.
In their youth, girls sometimes worry about the appearance of freckles on their faces, but they look very pretty with them, although they don’t think so.
Yes, there can be a lot of reasons for an imperfect skin condition, but there are many means and procedures to qualitatively lighten the skin on the surface of the face and give it an attractive color, and at the same time, the underlying ailment should be treated.
Basic rules when applying masks
Apply the brightening mask only to the prepared face. You need to remove all decorative cosmetics from it, and you cannot apply the product over creams, as they will interfere with the effectiveness of the procedure.
To cleanse your face, use regular cleansers. These can be lotions, foams, milk, tonics or regular toilet or baby soap.
If pigmentation appears, it is not recommended to resort to the use of whitening masks in the summer, when the sun is active. If this recommendation is not followed, the age spots will intensify.
Many masks for brightening the face have a drying effect, so along with them, it is necessary to use moisturizing creams. It is good if cucumber juice, aloe, allantoin or hyaluronic acid are present in the composition. There may be other moisturizing components.
Keep the mask on the skin for no more than 1/3 hour. Wash after it, first with warm water, and then with cold water.
When the skin whitening procedure is completed, it is necessary to apply sunscreen, because after the sessions, the skin will be less protected from ultraviolet rays.
Tonics and masks prepared at home from natural ingredients are not stored. They must be used immediately after production.
To ensure that the mask, in addition to its benefits, does not cause harm to the face, it is not applied to the lips and around the eyes. If there are freckles on the eyelids, then place cotton pads soaked in a decoction of plants on them. This procedure will help get rid of spots and will not cause swelling.
They do the skin lightening procedure at home, when they no longer plan to go outside and be in the sun.
The frequency of application of whitening products is every other day for oily skin, and for dry skin - a maximum of 2 times a week. It is not necessary to use the same composition of the product; you can make a different mask each time, or alternate. The full course should not exceed more than 30 sessions.
During the period when the procedures are carried out, it is advisable to consume more vitamin C so that it creates a barrier to increased pigmentation.
