Many people strive
to attain lighter, brighter, healthier-looking skin. Learning to properly care
for your skin on a day-to-day basis will help your skin stay light and tight.
Here are few tips to follow!!!
WEAR SUNSCREEN
EVERYDAY: If you want lighter skin, you have to care for it properly, using a
sunscreen with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating. When you expose your skin
to UVA and UVB light, your body produces melanin which makes your skin appear
darker. Sun exposure can wreak all sorts of havoc on your complexion, from
freckles and brown spots to serious sunburns and skin cancer. Therefore, the
number one most important thing you can do to lighten your skin is to wear
sunscreen every day you’ll be outdoors, even when it’s not super-hot or sunny.
You can also protect your skin by wearing light, long-sleeved clothing and by
wearing a hat and sunglasses when you’re in the sun for long periods of time.
THOROUGLY CLEANSE
YOUR FACE TWICE A DAY: Wash your face twice a day, once in the morning and once
at night. This removes dirt and oil, which is important for a healthy, clear
complexion.
EXFOLIATE A COUPLE
OF TIMES A WEEK: This is important as it removes the darker, dead skin cells
and reveals the new, lighter skin beneath. Exfoliating once a week will remove
dead skin cells to lighten and brighten your skin.
Invest in
purchasing a good scrub to remove dead skin cells. Or just make one yourself
using honey, lemon, & sugar. It’s edible… and it works incredibly!

MOISTURIZE WITH A
PRODUCT SUITED TO YOUR SKIN TYPE: If you have oily or blemish prone skin, you
should go for light lotions, while people with very dry skin should go for
heavier creams.
DRINK MORE WATER
AND FOLLOW A HEALTHY DIET: Drinking water and eating right won’t magically make
your skin lighter, but it will help skin to rejuvenate itself.
When skin
rejuvenates, the old, pigmented layers fade away and fresh, new skin is
revealed, leaving your skin looking brighter and healthier. Drinking more water
speeds up this process, so you try to drink between six and eight glasses a
day. A good diet also
helps to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy by providing it with the
vitamins and nutrients it needs. Try to eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables
as possible (especially those high in vitamins A, C and E) and stay away from
processed, high-calorie foods.
YOU SHOULD ALSO
CONSIDER TAKING A VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT: vitamin supplement containing ingredients
such as Grapeseed Extract (which provides anti-oxidant benefits) and Flaxseed
or Fish oil, both of which contain Omega-3 and are excellent for hair, skin and
nails.
QUIT SMOKING:
Everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health, but not everyone is aware
of the damage it can do to your skin. Smoking contributes to premature aging,
causing fine lines and wrinkles. It also prevents blood flow to the face,
causing it to become ashen or grey-looking.
