Whitening products have a very powerful effect - they not only increase the production of their own collagen and elastin in tissues or remove impurities from clogged pores, but also change the structure of cells, affect pigmented areas, thereby dissolving the pigment and decomposing it into components. As a result, there is no trace of spots on the face. Indications for use:

• Severe acne.
• Sensitive, thin skin or skin prone to dryness.

As you know, it is very difficult to achieve perfect and smooth skin. In addition, in summer, any aesthetic defects always become more noticeable; they cannot be hidden under clothing. You can make whitening face masks at home from affordable ingredients that every housewife has in the refrigerator.

If you decide to make a mask at home, it is important to select only fresh, high quality ingredients and apply them immediately after preparation, because no mask from natural products is designed for long-term use. It is also necessary to choose the appropriate dishes in which you will mix all the ingredients, a small whisk and a special mortar for grinding fruit. You may also need a juicer and a coffee grinder, in which the bones from berries are crushed to prepare various scrubs, or oatmeal is ground.

It is advisable not only to remove decorative cosmetics from the face (foundation, powder, blush, and others), but also to carry out a deeper cleaning with the help of cosmetic milk, foam, lotion or scrub. Those with dry skin should be more careful with aggressive treatments such as peels and scrubs. It will be enough for them to wash with warm water using ordinary cosmetic milk.

When using a brightening agent to eliminate age spots, cosmetologists recommend adhering to the following rules:

• Apply folk remedies to lighten pigmentation areas only for the time indicated in the recipe with a thin even layer, to avoid the development of an unwanted allergic reaction or side effect.
• It is better to apply such masks at night.
• It is best to do whitening procedures in autumn or winter, as the sun's rays can have a negative effect on the skin that has undergone bleaching. For the same reason, it is advisable to use a brightening cream or other remedy in the evening before going to bed.
• For the entire period of use of whitening cosmetics should treat the skin with sunscreen from ultraviolet rays.
