JAKARTA - Living in a tropical country, sun exposure risks making the skin dull, especially in the face area. Not surprisingly, many women always try to find ways to brighten facial skin.

Unfortunately, most people have more instant and fast ways to get white skin and are not dull. Here are 5 tips that can easily brighten facial skin naturally, as reported by the Knesko Skin page on Friday, October 4, 2024.

Exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells. This makes the skin fresh and bright. You can exfoliate one to three times a week using soft exfoliating products.

Use exfoliated products that contain a mixture of hydroxy alpha acid (AHA) and polyhydroxy acid (PHA) support skin cell changes, peeling old skin cells, and showing bright skin and beaming.

Sunscreen is something that must be used every day, be it rain or sunny, summer or cold conditions. Solar UV light is responsible for signs of premature aging, including sunspots, fine lines, and collagen degradation that can cause sagging skin.

With longer days and more time spent outdoors, it is increasingly important to use the SPF every day. The American Academy of Dermatologists (AAD) recommends SPF 30 or higher which is re-imposed every 2 hours, after sweating or spending time in the water.

Antioxidants such as vitamin C are the best defense against damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to signs of premature aging.

Vitamin C helps brighten the skin naturally while protecting against environmental damage. Simply apply serum that is rich in vitamin C. Research has found that SPF works more effectively when paired with vitamin C which is rich in antioxidants.

Another brightening skin care ingredient that you can add to your skincare routine is niacinamide, which is also known as vitamin B3.

According to the Mayo Clinic, this popular anti-aging content can help reduce signs of aging, including changes in the skin color and larger pores. As a bonus, this gentle material also has a calming effect on the skin.

If the skin is hydrated and moisturized properly, you will immediately see the difference in how bright and glowing the skin is. The strategy suggested by skin care experts is to use moisturizers.

Start by cleaning your face and tapping your face until it's dry gently, but don't let all the moisturizers disappear. Then, apply the moisturizing serum on the coated skin.

After that, you can apply a collagen hydrogel mask to further encourage moisture and absorption of the ingredients. Finally, apply the moisturizers of your choice to brighten your face.
