3 Must-Knows about Whitening Care!

1. Whitening skincare products can reduce sebum secretion, thus minimizing chances of pigmentation and getting blemishes. Choose those with licorice extracts for long-term prevention against skin darkening.

2. Whitening care helps to prevent the ultraviolet rays from attacking your skin. UV rays cause your skin to age faster and can damage its elasticity. Choose whitening moisturizers with SPF 15 and above.

3. Whitening products contain plenty of Vitamin C and E (which provide moisture to your skin and prevent melanin from forming); and AHAs and BHAs (acids that help to remove dead skin cells).

Right Those Wrongs!

Blunder 1: The ugly acne scars and dark spots on my skin will be highlighted if i have fairer skin complexion. I should skip the whitening process.
Truth: Whitening skincare curbs the formation of melanin and promotes skin cell renewal, thus boosting your old acne scars or dark spots to be replaced with new and healthy skin - all the more for people with skin blemishes!

Blunder 2: Applying whitening cream or fluid on my skin will only make it oilier. So i must not use them at all.
Truth: Choose whitening cream or fluids that are oil-free or are non-greasy. The shine-control pigments will ensure a long-lasting matte finish, so you can even use the whitening cream as a base for your make-up.

Blunder 3: People born with fair skin do not need whitening skincare.
Truth: Whitening care isn't only about transforming dark tanned skin into fairer skin. People blessed with naturally fair skin also need whitening skincare to nurture and maintain their complexion as well as to prevent blemishes.

Blunder 4: I shall use many whitening products from different brands for faster results.
Truth: Stick to a brand and do not flirt with different brands of whitening products at the same time! Most brands have their own range of whitening products that can complement one another very well.

Blunder 5: Fairer skin can be easily achieved through applications of whitening cream.
Truth: Effective whitening results will only be achieved if you remain diligent with the whitening skincare process. Use the entire range of whitening products: cleanser, toner, moisturizer, facial mask and make-up foundation.
