When you look at early childhood photos of celebrities, you may have noticed that their skin is darker in the photos than it is today, and it comes down to skin whitening. During the summer, everyone is after a better tan but when you consider the effects of wellness-damage the sun-kissed look can bring, surely it’s better for your wellbeing to have lighter and brighter skin?
This obsession with getting the darkest tan you can has only occurred relatively recently in history. When you look back down the years, especially to the times of Elizabeth I (the status symbol of her day), it was seen that whiter skin meant that you were more beautiful, better-off class-wise, and healthier, than if you had a tan. Fortunately, skin whitening has come a long way since then, so how are the celebrities doing it?
A skin whitening treatment can lighten skin colour, fade scars, and alleviate dark patches on the skin. There are different ways to go about it. You can get skin lightening creams and lotions containing chemical agents such as hydroquinone and azelaic acid or more natural ones containing plant extracts that could have a bleaching effect on the skin.
One such whitening cream is Arbutin. This skin de-pigmentation and whitening agent contains an extract of Bearberry plant, which is popular in Japan and other Asian countries for skin de-pigmentation. It is claimed that Arbutin whitens the skin, prevents liver spots and freckles, treats sunburn marks and regulated melanogenesis. If you have pigmentation irregularities, your dermatologist may prescribe a high concentration of a whitening cream such as this, or perform a procedure such as a chemical peel.
Chemical peels use fruit acids or other peeling agents to exfoliate your darker, pigmented skin. Your cosmetologist might rub your skin with a special device to lessen acne scars, brown spots, and similar pigmentation problems. FluorOxygen+C treatment is a type of peel treatment that combines vitamins A, E, and C, retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, kojic acid and bearberry extract to lighten and rejuvenate the skin for short and long-term results.
But why choose this procedure? The Fluoroxygen+C formula removes your dead cells, cleanses your pores, stimulates fibroblasts, increases collagen and elastin synthesis, inhibits your production of melanin, and, if you hadn’t guessed it already, lightens and brightens your skin. Plus, its alpha- and beta-hydroxyl acids exfoliate your skin, and provide gentle but effective anti-ageing effects.
