Brightening phenomenon

To maintain a bright skin you need to follow a skin care routine that is composed of three steps, cleanse, tone and moisturise. You should also use a good moisturiser that contains anti-oxidants to protect your skin. Another important point is that there are some foods like fruits and vegetables that contain many essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins that help to have a healthy and bright skin. For example Vitamin B helps maintain a clear, luminous skin with a youthful look, essential for healthy skin, hair and eyes. Vitamin C keeps your skin from drying out.  Vitamin A, D and E are also very important to maintain a young looking skin. If you follow those simple tips you should have a more bright, smooth and luminous skin. Try not to follow an unhealthy lifestyle, eat well and exercise too.
If your goal is to lighten and brighten your overall skin tone safely and naturally like I had been all my adult life, you can now take advantage of the Miracle Product that I have found. I haven’t been this happy in AGES. The Clarins Bright Plus HP Range.
However, for many of us when it comes to brightening your complexion, we do not know what to do or even where to start. Effective, aggressive brightening regimens are very addictive and it is very easy to continue applying “miracle agents” even when you start peeling and getting redness. It’s totally understandable and happens more often than you think. Part of us, perhaps subconsciously, will always get the feeling, “well at least it’s reacting, at least it’s changing… something good has got to come out of this!
Well, I urge caution.  I’m in the same boat!  I’m not berating anyone from being overly attached to their new serum.  Sometimes I will give myself aggressive chemical peels against doctor’s advice just because I’m so sick of regimens that don’t work and I want to see the “bad” parts of my skin peel away for at least psychological satisfaction.  It’s just a girl’s nature!  We want to be beautiful, we want our skin to look a certain way, and we’ll do anything to get “there”!
While obsessing over your skin is a proud diva’s natural habit, I strongly urge beauty fanatics to always stop applying brightening agents if you’re experiencing panic, discomfort, abnormal redness, and disconcerting peeling.  Harsh brightening agents have a tendency to thin the skin dramatically, making your skin extremely sensitive and vulnerable.
Remember that the skin is a protective organ. It’s not supposed to be thin, frail, nor vulnerable.  It’s supposed to callus where it need be, roughen where it need be, and fight germs and toxins by “turning red” or “growing a zit”.  It’s supposed to get tanned and dark when exposed to UV so that it can do its job of protecting the inside of you from UV irradiation. But to have it looking perfect, looking smooth, looking porcelain… there’s a price to be paid.  You’re turning a warrior into a princess.
Many cosmetics companies claim that their products provide skin brightening or brightening, but there are only a few active ingredients that really are able to fade skin discolorations. The most effective ingredients for skin brightening are hydroquinone, kojic acid, arbutin, and vitamin C. Avoid treatments that contain mercury, because though it’s effective, it’s highly toxic.  First of all your skin brightening cream should be free from any chemical ingredients.
Often it is found that artificial components cause a lot of skin problems and can damage your skin texture pretty badly. A natural skin brightening cream should be able to nourish your body and modify the levels of melanin. This will offer you a lighter skin color and better skin condition overall. So don’t treat your skin like a soldier anymore.  Treat it like a princess.  Give it a break periodically. The following are a list of calming, nourishing, softening ingredients that you can use:
Safe skin lighteners
Let’s take a look at some safer alternatives.The ingredients that you will see in the safest brightening creams include Bearberry,  Mulberry, White mulberry, Paper mulberry, Licorice extract, Vitamin C and Nut-grass root, which is also known as coco-grass, purple nut sedge and red nut sedge.
Skin brightening products
lHydroquinone is the most common skin brightening ingredient used worldwide. It is available in concentrations of up to  two percent in over-the-counter products, and stronger solutions (up to four percent) can be prescribed by a dermatologist.
lKojic acid also inhibits melanin production. Derived from a fungus, it is a more natural skin brightening alternative to hydroquinone. Kojic acid is more effective when combined with glycolic acid, and can be extremely irritating to sensitive skin, so try a small test patch first.
l Arbutin is a relatively new skin brightening ingredient that is made from bearberry extract, it also has soothing properties.
lVitamin C can also be effective at inhibiting melanin production.
Just take your steps patiently for your skin care. It may take some time but at the end of the day it is you who will be the gainer. So by using a skin brightening cream you can improve your skin tone indeed as long as your cream has all the best ingredients that are required for the best result.
