Winter whitening tips Whitening should be done in winter

When you are still lamenting the cold winter, you may not realize that the battle for whitening and repairing your skin has already begun! After all, after being exposed to the hot sun in the summer, even if there is no visibly darkening, the skin has already suffered damage internally. It needs to be repaired quickly in order to withstand the next round of tests. If you don’t whiten your skin now, do you want to become charcoal-black in the summer?

Winter whitening secrets

Whitening "before" rules

When it comes to whitening, especially whitening in winter, the first rule you can't ignore is to do a good job of sun protection. Because when the sun is not strong, people tend to skip sun protection steps. But you have to understand that the purpose of sun protection is not to block the overly strong sun, but to prevent the ultraviolet rays from invading our dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Want to know what the consequences will be for skin damaged by UV rays for a long time?

An experiment was once conducted abroad. Under an ultraviolet camera, even a person with a very fair face had scars under his skin. If this continues for a long time, the skin damage hidden inside will gradually surface and become visible skin problems and skin aging.

However, on the faces of children who are less exposed to the sun and have better recovery abilities, these blemishes are almost invisible because these damages accumulate over time without our noticing.

Sunscreen can block ultraviolet rays. Under an ultraviolet camera, the skin will appear black after applying sunscreen, forming a protective film to avoid damage from ultraviolet rays.

So don’t skip sunscreen just because the temperature is low in winter and the sun is not glaring. Ultraviolet rays exist all year round, rainy or sunny. Want to go back in white in winter? Don’t skimp on sunscreen, otherwise you’ll get half the result with twice the effort.

Whitening is not only about whitening, but also about removing spots

So how is melanin, one of the enemies that causes skin darkening and deterioration, formed?

In daily life, when we do not pay attention to sun protection, our skin is stimulated by ultraviolet rays, or when we live an irregular life and have an unhealthy diet, the tyrosinase activity in the body will be activated, and the melanin protosubstance will produce melanin after oxidation. When melanin moves through layer by layer through cell metabolism and reaches the epidermis of the skin, it will form freckles, sun spots, dark spots, etc.

Therefore, inhibiting melanin can not only whiten the skin, but also reduce the formation of spots. In addition, studies have shown that people with fair skin are more likely to develop spots. Therefore, when we talk about whitening, freckle removal is equally important.

Which ingredients are more effective?

There are two ingredients that are very effective in targeting melanin.

One is VC, which has a good antioxidant effect, inhibiting the oxidation of melanocyte stem cells and preventing the formation of melanin. Another one is niacinamide, which has been very popular recently. Its function is to prevent melanin from transferring to the surface cells. It also has the function of repairing keratin and moisturizing.
