Achieving a fairer skin tone is a common goal. It can be accomplished using skin lightening products, modifying one's lifestyle and diet or turning to natural products and practices. Some strategies include the following:
1. Commercial Products
Vitamin C Skin Serums: Used for skin enhancement and treatment of skin discolouration.
Exfoliators: Apply AHAs (eg. glycolic acid) or BHAs (eg. salicylic BHA) exfoliants to get rid of dead skin cells for a glowing skin.
Moisturisers Containing Niacinamide: This will help to rectify skin tone and texture.
2. Sun Protection
More especially for Africans, Always use a minimum high blocking sunscreen of SPF 30 every day without failing to avoid getting darker and to avoid sun rays damages.
3. Healthy Diet
Hydration: Maintain adequate water supply in the body in order to hydrate the skin.
Vitamins: Prepare skin with vitamins and hydrate body with water rich antioxidant foods like soy products, fruits and vegetables such as berries, oranges, greens etc.
4. Home Remedies
Lemon Juice: Use (cautiously) diluted lemon juice as a natural bleach. Because it irritates, do wash off after several minutes.
Aloe Vera: Fresh aloe vera gel may be used to calm and lighten the skin.
Honey & Yogurt Mask: Combine some honey and yogurt to make a mask which can help to moisturize and lighten the skin.
5. Regular Exfoliation
Make sure to exfoliate your skin once or twice weekly to slough off dead skin layers and to achieve a lighter skin tone.
6. Adequate Sleep and Stress Management
In addition, have enough sleep and do things like yoga or meditation to keep skin healthy and calm any stress.
7. Professional Treatments
You may try chemical peels, microdermabrasion or laser therapy for more extensive effects.
