What is the Best Skin Whitening Ingredients?
Skin brightening/whitening is a process of lightening the skin tone and reducing the appearance of dark spots, age spots, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. It can be achieved through a variety of methods, including topical creams, chemical peels, laser treatments, and microdermabrasion. These treatments work by reducing the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. In addition to lightening the skin, these treatments can also help to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.
What is the Best Skin Whitening Ingredients?
The ones that won’t harm your skin.
You see, you can easily find hundreds of creams, ointments or serums that do have a strong lightening effect when applied to the skin. But no one tells a thing about the potential consequences and the way they may damage your skin.
Most skin lightening products contain super harsh ingredients that may permanently change the skin. This includes the appearance of dark pigment spots, uneven skin tone, freckles and the like.
So, my answer to your question is to try finding the least harmful one. Try to avoid the ingredients listed below:
- Coal Tar and Coal Tar-Derived Colors
- Formaldehyde
- Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Compounds
- Hydroquinone
- BHA and BHT
All of these can irritate the skin to the point the damage caused may be irreversible.
I know you are looking for something you can find in the nearest pharmacy but let me tell you something - you can achieve the desired lightening effect by using 2 natural ingredients. Rice flour and water. This is all you need.
And even if you don’t have rice flour, you can just blend a handful of rice et voilà!
Mix the rice flour with some water until you obtain a paste and apply it to the face.
The first time I performed this procedure, I didn't expect anything to happen. I left the mask for an hour and a half and when I washed my face I was really surprised to see my reflection in the mirror. My skin was indeed brighter and smoother.
This is why I decided to reapply the mask after a couple of days (just to make sure it wasn’t my imagination). I once again applied the rice flour mask to my face and neck but this time I did this just before I go to bed.
I spent the entire night with the mask, it wasn’t very comfortable and when the paste started to dry out, small rice particles started to flake.
Never mind, I somehow fell asleep and when I woke up in the morning I just couldn’t believe my eyes - my skin looked amazing, so much brighter, softer and smoother than before.
I checked the effect of rice when applied topically and it turned out it does have a lightening effect on the skin. You can find many articles, providing clinical data, proving the positive effects of rice.
It lightens the skin color, nourishes and promotes the healing processes in the skin.
If I were you, I'd definitely try the rice mask before damaging my skin with chemicals, acids preservatives and the like.
