Do you have an uneven skin tone? Has your skin darkened either due to sun damage or excessive use of chemical beauty products? Many people think that it is nearly impossible to change the skin tone which is both true and false.
While our natural skin tone is difficult to be changed, you can alter the changes that occurred due to other factors such as UV rays damage, overuse of chemical-based skin care products, poor dietary and lifestyle habits, oxidative stress, etc. Natural remedies are meant to aid the problem leaving any side-effects behind. Olive oil is one such natural ingredient that can help you in lightening your dark skin.
How Do
Skin-Lightening Products Work?
Skin-lightening formulas work by:
·
Reducing
pigmentation: There is a pigment named ‘Melanin’ in the skin which is
responsible for skin tone. Increases production of melanin increases darkness
in the tone. The skin-lightening or skin-brightening products work to reduce
the production of melanin.
·
Exfoliating
the skin: Sometimes, darkening is due to the layer of dead cells on
the skin. These either occur due to tanning or just skin damaged by aging. The
skin-lightening agents help in exfoliating the dermal layer.
·
Sunblock: These
products contain titanium oxide and zinc oxide which are great agents to
prevent tanning and reducing the exposure to UV radiation.
