* Basic Hygiene Tips

Usually the black skin is caused due to hyper pigmentation. Actually our skin naturally develops a component known as melanin. This forms the color of our skin. When this pigment is developed in excess the complexion gets disturbed and hence we have problems like dark patches, brown spots, etc. Taking good care of your hygiene really helps in lessening this problem.

· For this you may adapt to some simple changes in your daily routine like waxing regularly.

· Wash the black patches gently with soap & pumice stone (except the face).

· Apply sun tan lotions when ever you are out in the sun.

· Have lots of water, at least 10 glasses per day.

· Eat fiber rich food.

· Avoid unsaturated and trans-fats.

· Acne is mainly caused due to digestion issues. So, to cure that take up some natural superfoods like acai berry.

Bleaching

This is safe and effective remedy. But while doing it, the precautions that must be followed are given here:

· Do not apply the bleach on the private organs.

· Do not bleach when you have some problem on the skin like redness, acne, irritation, etc.

· You must do a patch test first.

· Always wipe off with cold water only.

· Prefer to use the natural and home made skin bleaches.

You must apply suitable fade creams for black skin. While choosing one for yourself check out the following:

· Make sure that all the ingredients are mentioned in proper details along with their ratio in the product.

· Also it must not have any chemicals, prefer to use the natural products only.

· Next, check that the product does not have hydroquinone at all or it should not be more than 2%.

· The product must suit your skin type, for instance oily, dry, etc.

· You may try using Meladerm. It is made of all natural ingredients that have no side effects.

It’s common to find young Asian women trying to defy the natural yellowish-tone of their by smoothing on whitening lotions or creams that comes bottled-up with whitening agents. Fairness and a healthy glow is what most women vie for. Asians have more melanin in their skin, so they tend to look, not darker, but more yellow than other races. The shade of yellow can range from very light to tan.

Generally speaking, it’s easier for Asians to maintain their skin because of their diet and their skin and we all know that Asians don’t age as quickly as Westerners. It’s easier, in short, for them to look years younger than they really are. With good skincare regime, a healthy diet and exercise, an Asian woman can look more than eight to ten years younger than her real age….without too much effort.

The biggest enemy to young Asian skin is the sun. Women from countries with consistently hot weather all-year-round will need to be extra careful about the stuff that they use, using sun screen whenever they head out and regularly maintain a good routine before bed time. Even good skin can be damaged by the sun if proper care is not observed. Moisturizer applied in the morning, before heading out to work, will keep skin moisturized during the day. Not only will the sun dry out the skin, the air-conditioning system have a huge role to play as well.

Dark patches of skin are direct results of sun damage – the sun is your best friend on the beach but it’s too easy to forget that it’s a fiend to the skin. It makes scrubbing your skin clean at night an impossibly necessary part of your life – but not scrubbing too hard. Cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin religiously if your line of work requires you to be out under the sun a lot.

Once or twice a week, you’ll need a gentle exfoliating lotion, cream or powder to scrub the dead skin cells off. Do NOT exfoliate too often because it will dry out the skin and cause extra production of oil and sebum which clogs pores.

And let’s not forget food for our skin. Keeping away from oily food is a good idea, but more importantly, we should consume more fruits and vegetables (a great source of Vitamin A and C) if we want jaw-dropping skin. Vitamin A gives you skin with head-turning glow while Vitamin C promotes production of collagen which enhances elasticity of your skin.
