Natural Skin Whitening Without A Surgical Procedure

April 4th, 2009 |

Do you spend long hours in the sun? Maybe you are a golf or tennis buff. Problem is, all that time in the sun leaves you with unwanted dark skin. Natural skin whiteners can help but you don’t want to use one that bleaches your skin more than needed.

First of all, you need to understand why some areas of your skin are darker than the rest. The color of you skin is determined by a pigment called Melanin. Skin cells by the name of melanosomes are responsible for producing this pigment. These melanosomes contain an enzyme called Tyrosinase which converts the protein tyrosine into melanin. The higher the melanin activity in one region of your skin, the darker that region of your skin will be.

For a skin whitening product to be effective, it has to address the enzyme tyrosinase. One more step to fairer skin is the shedding of dead skin cells. Make sure the skin bleaching cream you use can get rid of that dead layer of skin.

You can use the following facial whitening tips that you can prepare at home. Milk is a natural skin whitener. You can apply milk on the affected area. Leave it for awhile and then rinse it. Another good idea is to make your own honey and almond face mask. Mix 1 teaspoon of milk powder, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and half teaspoon of almond oil. Apply on your face and leave it for 15 minutes before cleansing.

Over the past years, skin care manufacturers promote many facial lightening products, promising even skin tone with whiter complexion. Surgery can also restore your beautiful skin. However, it costs too much and consumers would rather a cheaper alternative. So you see, a complexion lightening that works is of great worth.

Not all skin brightening creams are good for you skin or your health. Look for products that use safe ingredients. You can find products using natural plant extracts such as licorice, bearberry, and mulberry.

Meladerm is supported by numerous clinical studies to prove its results. It works towards reducing the production of melanin which provides skin with its color. It reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and other discolorations without causing side effects like hydroquinone. Always do some research on the ingredients to determine if they really help in brightening your skin.
