①Don't rub or scrub!

Melanin is the cause of spots and dullness. As mentioned earlier, melanin is produced when melanocytes (pigment cells) are stimulated by ultraviolet rays, but physical stimulation can also cause spots and dullness.

Therefore, rubbing or rubbing the whitening ingredients into your skin too hard will have the opposite effect! Irritating your skin will only make the spots darker. Gently rub the product into your skin with your hands to avoid irritation.

②Continue using the recommended amount!

Whitening products are often relatively expensive. However, if you reduce the amount you use because you don't want to waste it, it can lead to uneven application and you won't get the full effect. If you try too hard to spread it, it can cause friction! Be sure to follow the appropriate amount written on the product packaging.

Also, whitening ingredients are most effective when used continuously. Use them not only in the spring and summer when UV rays are strongest, but also in the fall and winter when they are weaker. Fall and winter are the best times to whiten your skin!

3. Use after lotion and before emulsion and cream.

Whitening serums are used after preparing the skin with toner in the morning and evening. Gently massage the whitening ingredients into the skin and let them penetrate (don't rub them in!). After that, use a lotion or moisturizer that protects the skin.

The cream tightly seals in the whitening ingredients.

4. The basic rule is to apply it to the entire face, but only to specific areas with hydroquinone!

It is essential to use whitening products on the entire face, not just on areas where you are concerned about blemishes or dullness. Even if blemishes or dullness are not yet visible on the surface of the skin, whitening ingredients can help prevent blemishes and dullness by suppressing or eliminating the production of melanin inside the skin.

However, whitening products containing hydroquinone should be used pinpoint on the target spots without spreading them out. Because it is so effective, it can also cause irritation, so do not use it on multiple spots at once, but use it little by little and observe the results.

2. Basic care to prevent blemishes and dullness

Using products containing the whitening ingredients introduced so far is also effective for whitening care, but before that, you should take care of your skin daily by protecting it from UV rays and moisturizing it. Whitening doesn't happen overnight ! First , keep your skin healthy with daily care and build a foundation for clear, beautiful skin.

1. UV protection ( UV care)

We have said this many times before, but UV rays are the main cause of spots and dullness. UV rays also cause wrinkles, sagging skin, and other skin aging. In any case, it is important to thoroughly protect your skin from UV rays!

② Moisturizing

Dry skin has a weakened barrier function and is more susceptible to external stimuli. UV rays can stimulate the skin and make it more susceptible to melanin production, so be sure to moisturize your skin. Also, be aware that skin that is not moisturized properly will not turn over normally, and old keratin will tend to remain on the surface, making the skin more prone to dullness.

Only when skin is well-hydrated and in good condition can whitening ingredients and other extra ingredients demonstrate their effectiveness. The most basic of basics for beautiful skin and whitening is moisturizing care to prepare the foundation of your skin!

3. Inner care to prevent glycation

Glycation, which causes yellowing and dullness, is a major factor in aging in addition to dullness. Glycation occurs when proteins such as collagen in the body bind with excess sugar, so the basis for preventing glycation is inner care. A diet that regularly consumes soft drinks full of sugar and commercially available sweet breads and cakes takes in excess sugar, actively causing glycation and accelerating the aging of the skin and body. Try to eat a healthy, low-sugar diet to avoid a sudden rise in blood sugar levels.

Exercise also digests sugar, so it can suppress the rise of blood sugar levels. Good quality sleep to regenerate tired skin and body also helps prevent glycation!
