To have naturally beautiful white skin is difficult, to maintain a smooth, flawless skin for a long time is even more difficult.
A scientific, reasonable and correct skin care process combined with a moderate lifestyle, supplementing the body with all the necessary vitamins and minerals is extremely necessary. Follow the advice below to have perfect, smooth white skin!
Regular skin care combined with a balanced diet and lifestyle will help you maintain flawless, white skin.
1. The golden rule in skin care: Remove makeup regularly
Should: Remember, makeup removal is essential and should be done regularly, even if you don’t wear makeup. Removing makeup before going to bed will ensure that your skin is completely clean and comfortable to “breathe” throughout the night. Leaving any makeup on your skin overnight will lead to clogged pores – the main cause of acne and blackheads on the skin. If you don’t have makeup remover oil at home, you can put some olive oil on a soft makeup cotton pad and gently wipe your entire face to remove makeup residue and dirt on your skin.

Don’t: Skip the exfoliation step. It is best to exfoliate regularly 1-2 times/week to ensure that the dead skin cells on the skin surface are completely replaced by new, healthy skin cells, restoring the skin condition, increasing the skin’s brightness and radiance. Walnut powder mixed with yogurt can create an extremely effective exfoliating mixture.
2. Be careful with the sun
Should: Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. Skin exposed to direct sunlight for a long time will develop dark spots, wrinkles, etc. You should carefully check the ingredients of the sunscreen you use. Creams labeled “Noncomedogenic” or “Nonacnegenic” will limit clogging pores and help the skin breathe easier.
Don’t: Skip the sunscreen step whenever you go out, even when it’s cloudy or cold. If you’re going to the beach or to areas with high light reflection such as ice rinks or snowy areas, you should prepare sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor of SPF30.
3. Eat and drink in moderation
Should: Eat lots of fruits and green vegetables, supplement the vitamins and proteins your body needs. A diet rich in vitamin C, low in fat and sugar will make your skin brighter and more radiant.
Grains, fruits and vegetables are very good for the skin.
Don’t: Eat spicy, oily, fermented, and salty foods. Instead, eat more starchy foods like rice, oatmeal, and apples.
4. Exercise regularly
Should: Regular exercise such as walking, running or yoga will help stimulate blood circulation, enhance the absorption of nutrients and detoxify the body. If you do not have time for long exercises, you can just spend 10-15 minutes a day walking around your neighborhood. After each exercise session, you will see your skin become rosy and more radiant.
Exercising in the morning with fresh air not only helps improve health but also makes skin brighter and more beautiful.
Don’t: Skip pre- and post-workout skin care. Before you work out, it’s best to apply a little toner to tighten pores and reduce oil production. After you work out, wash your face or exfoliate, then use shea butter or olive oil to moisturize your skin.
5. Get enough sleep
Should: Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. If you are sleep deprived, just like your body, your skin will become tired, lifeless, saggy and have dark circles. Therefore, to maintain the health of your skin, a long and deep sleep is essential. You can apply a little honey to your skin 2 or 3 times a week before going to bed to moisturize and heal your skin naturally.
Don’t: Skip washing and moisturizing before bed. As mentioned above, it is essential to thoroughly clean your skin before bed. For dry skin, choose a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser and then apply plenty of moisturizer. Avoid hot water as it will dehydrate dry skin.
6. Drink enough water
Should: Replenish your body with enough water. You should drink at least 2 liters of water per day, eat lots of fruits and vegetables containing water such as watermelon, cucumber, orange, strawberry, grapefruit, squash…
Don’t: Skip the step of moisturizing your skin with rose water. Rose water plays an important role in helping to balance the pH level while maintaining the natural moisture of the skin.
7. Goodbye acne
Should: Wash your face regularly with warm water 3 times a day with gentle circular massage movements. To treat acne, you should choose facial cleansers containing Alpha Hydroxyl Acid or Beta Hydroxyl Acid. Paper masks containing Multani Mitti are also quite effective in clearing acne. After washing your face, remember to pat your skin dry and then use a moisturizer containing Benzoyl Peroxide – an ingredient that helps fight bacteria and protect the skin.
Don’t: Squeezing pimples. Squeezing pimples can cause swelling, redness, or dark scars. If you notice a breakout, wash your face, thoroughly clean the affected area with rose water, and then apply a small bag of chilled green tea to the area. If you wear glasses, be sure to clean them regularly to avoid bacteria around your eyes and nose that can cause acne.
