WHITENING FACE CREAM BLEACH THE SKIN? WRONG THOUGHT!
When most of us hear the term whitening, we immediately think of bleaching. The dental cosmetics industry has literally grabbed this term. Every day we are confronted with advertisements for whitening dental products that visibly brighten the teeth . So it's no wonder that whitening is now associated with bleaching. Then, when you see a face cream labeled "whitening," you automatically think it whitens your skin and makes you look light and pale. Some even suspect that the ingredients in whitening face creams strip melanin from the skin. Asian whitening products have a completely different effect and meaning.
What does the term "whitening" stand for in Asian cosmetics?
In countries like South Korea, Japan, and China, this term has nothing to do with actual skin color, but refers to the structure and overall health of the skin. Asian women strive for even, radiant skin. It is a symbol of health and inner balance. Whitening face creams are used to even out skin tone, revitalize dull skin, reduce traces of blemishes and make the complexion glow.
How do Asian whitening products work?
Due to factors such as harmful UV rays, stress, fine dust and pollution, the skin often looks dull and sallow. In addition, more and more people suffer from skin irritations. Whitening products contain ingredients such as vitamin C, AHA & BHA, niacinamide, licorice root extract or berry extracts. These ingredients are exclusively of natural origin and help to create a more radiant skin by removing dead skin cells and stimulating the skin's natural renewal process. In contrast to medical whitening products, whitening facial care does not contain any active ingredients that remove pigmentation from the skin.
For whom are whitening cosmetics suitable and what is the best way to use them?
Whitening products are used regardless of skin type and age. Depending on the desired result, you can, for example, take a whitening cream daily or alternate it with your usual cream. Whitening creams are also great boosters whenever the skin needs an extra portion of freshness and needs to be made to shine quickly.
