Here is the Asian method to have white skin free of spots or imperfections. Let’s see how to do it.
Do you want to have white skin free of blemishes or imperfections? You can easily achieve it with natural ingredients and in just a few steps. We will see how to make a homemade cream with natural whitening properties.
The perfect complexion over the centuries
White skin has played a significant role in human history in different cultures and periods. Before proceeding, it should be specified that the term “white skin” refers to a luminous and blemish-free complexion, generally typical of Asian populations, known for their porcelain complexion.
In ancient Greece, white skin was considered a sign of beauty and nobility. Greek women tried to keep their skin clear and glowing by avoiding sun exposure and using skin care products made from milk and honey.
Later, in the European Middle Ages, white skin was considered a symbol of high social status. People who worked outdoors, such as peasants, had dark skin due to sun exposure, while nobles used to cover themselves with clothes and umbrellas to keep their skin lighter.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, white skin was a symbol of sophistication and delicacy among European and American women. Women used umbrellas and hats to protect themselves from the sun and used skin whitening creams to keep their complexions clear.
History, however, has not always seen the light complexion as innocent beauty. In the twentieth century, white skin was associated with racial superiority in some cultures, supporting the unfounded theory of the superiority of the white race on the basis of physical characteristics.
Today, far from the thought of racial discrimination, white skin continues to be considered a symbol of beauty and sophistication in many cultures, but it is important to know that there are also movements that seek to promote the beauty of all skin types, regardless of color. Having said that, let’s see how to get white and blemish-free skin in a few simple steps.
How to have white skin without imperfections
There are many products on the market that promise to whiten the skin from blemishes and imperfections but most of them contain many ingredients and it is often not recommended to use them in summer. Today we will see how to make a cream at home to have porcelain skin.
All you need is a tomato, a potato, some cornstarch, almond oil, and a natural bar of soap.
The procedure is really very simple. You will have to equip yourself with a grater and start by grating a medium-sized tomato in a bowl.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, B and C, which are useful for stimulating collagen synthesis. Then transfer the tomato to a cheesecloth and squeeze it well to release the juice. Then peel a potato, grate it and follow the same procedure with gauze to extract all the juice.
Mix the two extracts well and add a tablespoon of cornstarch in small doses, continuing to stir.
Then pour the mixture into a non-stick pan and heat for about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and grate 2 tablespoons of soap into the mixture, stirring well to blend. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes, after which you will have to add a tablespoon of almond oil to mix with the mixture.
You will then have made a mask to spread on the face, décolleté and neck with a brush. The mask should be left on for at least 30 minutes, after which it can be removed with warm water. It can be used up to 3 times a week and can be stored in an airtight jar and stored in the refrigerator.
