2. Whitening/Brightening Skincare Products

Do you experience a lack of time? Too busy at work?  Travelling too much? But you still want to keep your skin bright and beautiful, all the while using a natural approach?

The Beauty Market is full of cosmetic products that promise to make your skin brighter, smoother, radiant and “glowy”. Finding the one that is right for you maybe a challenge. You have to take into a consideration factors like skin type (dry, normal, oily), reactions to certain ingredients (always read the ingredients carefully).

Natural organic skincare products maybe a great option, if you want to avoid harmful chemicals. Although, once again, it is important to read the ingredients carefully, so that you know what is in the product you are going to apply to your largest organ, your skin.  If there are too many names of ingredients that you have no idea what they are, do not be In a rush to buy it.

Moisturizing factor is a must, especially in night creams and lotions. Select the ones that deeply moisturize and hydrate your skin.

Here are top 3 best natural organic whitening products that can be used both in the morning and/or at night, and my personal favorites:

1. Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum  ($ 29.99)

2.  Evagloss Lightening Serum  ($ 27.99)

3. Goat Milk Brightening Soap   ($ 9.99)

3. Use Sunblock, Sunscreen lotions

UV protection products are very important to avoid sun damage, while keeping your skin lighter and youthful-looking longer. Wearing sunscreen everyday can help to prevent premature skin aging and reduce the risk of skin cancer.  (Cleveland Clinic Foundation. 2015 Apr.)

One of my personal favorites and highly recommended by dermatologists’ facial sunscreen lotion is :

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral SPF 50 Face Sunscreen ($33.50). (easily available in any cvs, wallmart, duane reade stores all over the US.) It has thin and lightweight texture and matte finish. Anthelios Mineral SPF is definitely one of the best sunscreens for face on market nowadays.

4. Drink Plenty of Water and eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, and kimchi!

The goal is not to make your skin look dead pale, but to have healthy, flattering bright skin that is silky smooth and well-balanced. Therefore, a healthy life style and diet is critical.

Drink plenty of water to help your skin stay hydrated. Furthermore, consider giving up smoking. Eat healthier foods.

Many studies show the correlation between a person’s diet and acne.  It suggests that a diet rich in fish, fish oil, fresh fruits and vegetables promotes younger looking skin.  (National Center for Biotechnology Information, Dermato-endocrinology, 2009 Sept-Oct)

Kimchi can be another addition to your diet, especially if you like how it tastes. It is one of the top secrets of Korean porcelain skin.  If you are wondering how so many Koreans have great skin?  One of the secrets is, Kimchi.  Kimchi has more vitamin C than many fruits.  In fact, Koreans do happen to eat a lot of fruit on top of Kimchi they consume, Fruit is considered their traditional desert.

Vitamin C is essential in skin brightening treatment. You have to eat it; and also Vitamin C has to get into your skin.  Vitamin C is also a great antioxidant, and plays a large role in collagen synthesis. Dietary and topical use of Vitamin C helps to prevent and treat UV-induced photodamage; and plays an important role in wound healing and building connective tissues.

Glutathione, also a super antioxidant, is famous for skin whitening, it fights toxins that cause hyperpigmentation, and Vitamin C raises that glutathione level.

5. Keep it Clean at all Times

Always clean your skin and remove make-up at the end of each day.  This will allow your skin to breathe and rest.

It is very important to unclog your pores, deep clean and moisturize your skin before you go to bed. These actions will also help you maintain your skin’s health. Natural organic moisturizers may be best to help you accomplish this.

According to A lead Acne expert, Dermatologist Dr. Schweiger, “sleeping in makeup can result in the formation of microcomedone, which attracts the acne-causing bacteria to your pores.” (Simone Kitchens, Huffington Post, 2012 Dec)

Many women cleanse their face throughout the day and then reapply their cosmetics, ensuring that no dirt sticks to their face. Moreover, many celebrities and models in their interviews share a tip, the importance of removing make-up at night and letting your skin breathe and heal.

In general, keeping your skin clean is critical in your skin care routine.
