If your skin whitening method doesn't work, it may be because you have stepped on these landmines

Every girl wants her skin to be white. I am also one of those people who is very persistent in whitening. I have taken many detours on the road of whitening. Today I will share with you those misunderstandings about whitening.

Sunscreen can whiten your skin and the higher the SPF, the better

In fact, sunscreen only plays the role of isolating ultraviolet rays, and its purpose is to prevent our skin from tanning and sunburn, but it does not have the effect of whitening.

And the higher the SPF value of the sunscreen, the more irritating it is to the skin. Normally, SPF30 is enough!

Exfoliate frequently, even before using a whitening mask

Exfoliation can indeed make the skin look white, tender and clean, but doing it too frequently will damage the stratum corneum cells and make the skin sensitive. At this time, the skin barrier is easily damaged!

Therefore, it is recommended to go once every 1 to 2 weeks.

Facial cleanser can whiten

Almost every brand has launched products such as whitening facial cleansers, but facial cleansers stay on the skin for such a short time that their main function is to cleanse, so washing your face will not whiten your skin.

Taking pearl powder can whiten your skin

The functions of pearl powder approved by the State Food and Drug Administration include: removing chloasma, increasing bone density, enhancing immunity, etc.

However, if it does not meet strict oral standards, it will be difficult to absorb and metabolize and affect gastrointestinal health. At the same time, pearl powder is cold in nature and is not suitable for people with weak and cold constitutions.
