14 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR SKIN TONE NATURALLY THIS YEAR
Looking good is good business!! Imagine the attention you could get from clients to your business or profession because of your good looks. Well, all that can be enhanced when you concentrate more on your appearance, especially how radiant and healthy your skin tone is.
Skin tone consists of two main aspects known as color and texture. A bad skin tone may result due to factors such as too much exposure of the skin to intense sunlight, use of chemicals, poor lifestyle, skin-lightening lotions, creams, and pollution.
When this occurs, there is the need to recover and improve the skin tone either using medication or by natural means.
For the sake of knowledge, let's correct some wrong notions about skin-tone improvements. Firstly, improving the skin tone is "NOT" Skin-Lightening, and it is not Skin-Whitening or Bleaching either.
Secondly, maintaining or improving the tone of the skin is not something for ladies alone, the male folks also find it rewarding because of the potential in health benefits.
Unlike skin-bleaching or skin-lightening which involves the use of chemical compositions to achieve lightened skin, the natural means of skin toning is about promoting an even, smooth-textured, glowing, and healthier skin by natural means.
Health experts advise against the use of skin-whitening products in excess, because of their roles in exposing users to the risks of cancer, high blood pressure, and mercury poisoning. Rather than spending much money on some beauty products and losing out on your health, why not improve your skin condition the healthy way.
In summary, there is no better way of getting a nice skin tone except through healthy and natural means, other methods might be harming the skin.
The interesting fact about items that improve the skin tone naturally, whether you are white-skinned or dark-skinned, is that they can be easily accessed in homes and stores.
The process of applying these items to the skin is quite simple and can be handled by anyone. However, the results are not automatic, as improvements can be noticed after a prolonged, regular, and effective use, but the results are sure due to the approval by certified Dermatologists.
Now, enough of too many talks! Let's run through some of those tips to improve your skin tone naturally.
ALOE –VERA APPLICATION
This is a proven method of improving skin complexion. Gently massage a mixture of 2 tablespoonfuls of Aloe-Vera, 1 tablespoonful of honey, and a half tablespoonful of turmeric, into your face and neck region for around 15 minutes.
later, the mixture can then be removed from the skin with the aid of some cotton soaked in partially refrigerated milk. Afterward, the face should be washed with cool water.
MASSAGE YOUR FACE USING OLIVE OIL
A mixture of 2 teaspoonfuls of olive oil and some honey can be used to massage your skin for some minutes. However, if you have oily skin, you can add some lemon juice to the mixture. This process may result in fairer skin, but remember, the aim is to have radiant skin, so do ensure you keep the usage minimal.
MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN WITH SHEA BUTTER
This is not recommended for people with oily skin. Shea butter is a natural skin-tone improvement remedy and moisturizer.
Apply some all over the face, avoiding the inner parts of the vital organs of the face. As usual, after about 15 minutes, wash and rinse off with cool water. Repeat this procedure regularly to achieve an improved skin tone.
REGULARLY EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN
This is used to remove dead skin buildups from the skin. To exfoliate, you can mix some coconut oil with two tablespoonfuls of grounded or powdered rice. Place the mixture on the skin for up to 15 munites to remove dirt so you can have healthy skin.
HOMEMADE MIXTURE OF RIPE BANANA AND OIL
Ripe banana can be made into a paste, and then 2 tablespoonfuls of the paste are added with 2 tablespoonfuls of honey. Apply this on your face for some time and wash off. This helps to improve the texture and tone of your skin.
STEAM YOUR FACE
You can improve your skin tone by face steaming. Do this by boiling some lemon peel in water to produce steam. Use this to steam your face. Vitamin C is present in lemon and can improve skin tone. The action of steaming the face opens up the skin pores and removes dirt.
PUT ON SUNSCREEN LOTIONS, A HAT, AND SUNGLASSES
The sun is one of the factors that can cause skin-tone change. Some amount of the sun's heat is good for the skin, but prolonged exposure to the intense heat of the sun can affect it, causing sunspots amongst other skin damages. Make sure you apply sunscreen lotions or sprays, wear sunglasses, and put on a hat to avoid excessive sunlight and pollution.
WASH-OFF MAKEUP BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP
Avoid makeup staying on your face for too long. Always wash off before sleeping at night. The prolonged stay of makeup on the skin blocks the skin pores and causes skin breakouts.
The face can be washed with warm water and rinsed with cold water. This makes the skin healthier and improves skin tone.
REDUCE POPPING YOUR PIMPLES
Pimples are mostly the signs of skin inflammation or dermatitis. Too much popping can result in more inflammation, scars, and dark spots which damage the skin tone.
Rather, use a sulfur-based pimple treatment method. However, you can pop them by using a cloth dipped in hot water to gently massage and make the skin soft before using a pimple extractor to burst them. When you are done clean the area with alcohol.
USE FACE MOISTURIZER AND TONER
This can be found in beauty stores. They help to give your skin the right PH level, that is, a balance between the skin's acidic and alkaline levels.
Face moisturizers also make skin pores more tightened, hydrated, and are proven to be effective in obtaining an improved skin tone. To achieve this, use a facial oil or moisturizer to gently massage your face regularly to produce a good result.
EAT A HEALTHY BALANCED DIET
Make sure you include some fruits and vegetables in your meals. Proteins such as legumes, fish, and eggs are good for the body and skin especially. Also, make healthy fats your choice; some examples are avocados and olive oils. Try to avoid sugary foods and drinks, unhealthy fats, and alcohol.
ENGAGE IN HEALTHY HABITS LIKE EXERCISE
Exercise is very effective it allows an increased flow of blood to the body cells; as a result, the cells are fed with enough nutrients and oxygen that will cause the body to self-improve its health.
The skin also benefits from this by becoming healthier and more radiant in appearance. Make sure you engage in many exercises to improve the healthiness of your skin and promote a radiant skin tone.
AVOID SMOKING
Unlike the benefits of exercising, smoking restricts the flow of oxygen to the skin, in the process; free radicals that can damage the skin are formed. Skin cancer can also be caused by smoking.
