Methods for whitening and removing blemishes
1. Winter Melon Juice
Using winter melon juice to remove blemishes is a folk remedy that involves applying crushed winter melon pulp to the face as a mask, usually twice a day.
From a nutritional perspective, winter melon is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and can inhibit the formation of melanin. In traditional Chinese medicine, winter melon is believed to have a cooling effect and using winter melon juice can give the skin a radiant appearance.
2. Cherry Juice
In the book "Dian Nan Ben Cao," it is recorded that cherries can not only replenish vitality but also moisturize the skin. Cherries contain a higher amount of vitamin C compared to apples and pears. When applied topically, cherry juice can help to remove blemishes, whiten the skin, and reduce wrinkles. When ingested, it can nourish the qi and blood.
3. Lemon Mask
Lemons are beneficial for both internal and external use in skincare. There are various ways to make a lemon mask, such as using lemon juice with olive oil, lemon juice with mask powder, or lemon juice with aloe vera.
Lemon contains citric acid, which can soften the skin, remove impurities and excess oil, and lighten blemishes. The rich vitamin C in lemons can also help to whiten the skin. Additionally, lemons have antibacterial properties.
However, due to the acidic nature of lemons, it is not suitable for individuals with thin or sensitive skin.
