The thicker you eat 6 kinds of super foods, the thinner your skin will be.

Pay attention to internal maintenance when whitening! Studies have confirmed that ultraviolet rays in the sun will produce a large number of oxidative free radicals on the skin, which will make the skin dull and rough and lose its elasticity. The doctor said that in addition to sun protection, whitening should not ignore strengthening sun protection from "internal food", and suggested taking more anti-free radical foods on weekdays, enhancing their anti-sun fighting capacity and staying away from the temptation of "darkness".

Huang Yuhui, secretary-general of Taiwan Province Dermatology Medical Association and dermatologist of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, pointed out that the basic components of whitening are vitamin C and E. Vitamin C can inhibit the activity of "tyrosinase" in skin, and tyrosinase is an important catalyst for melanin formation. Therefore, using vitamin C to prevent the activity of tyrosinase from being catalyzed and reduce the formation of melanin can naturally fade spots and whiten skin.

Vitamins are eternal sacred products for skin care.

If you want to whiten free radicals, it is recommended to eat 2 to 3 servings of fruit every day. You can choose guava, kiwi, strawberry, tomato or citrus with vitamin C. The weather is hot and your appetite is poor. Eating lettuce salad can cool off the heat. It is suggested to add colorful sweet pepper and a few broccoli, which is not only pleasing to the eye, but also can absorb a lot of vitamin C and enhance the body's sunscreen ability. Vitamin C fruits and vegetables can be said to be "eternal skin care products".

Vitamin E will stand by in the cell membrane to prevent unsaturated fatty acids contained in phospholipids on the cell membrane from being oxidized into spots, so it also has the functions of lightening spots and whitening. In addition, some natural foods can promote skin metabolism and keep skin fair and tender.

Skin whitening 6 kinds of food:

1. Tomato: It is a good sunscreen food. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidant lycopene. Taking 16 mg lycopene every day can reduce the risk factor of sunburn by 40%, while cooked tomatoes are better than raw tomatoes.

2. Lemon: rich in vitamin C, it can promote metabolism, delay aging, whiten and lighten spots, shrink pores, soften cuticle and make skin shiny. But remember not to put lemon slices on your face, because if you are irradiated by ultraviolet rays, it will easily lead to the skin becoming "photosensitive" and cannot be ignored.

3. Fish: Eating fish three times a week/kloc-0 can protect the skin from ultraviolet rays; Eating fish for a long time can provide people with a natural protection similar to sunscreen and whiten the skin.

4. Nuts: Unsaturated fatty acids contained in nuts are good for the skin, which can soften the skin from the inside out, prevent wrinkles, and moisturize the skin at the same time, making the skin look younger. Vitamin E contained in nuts can not only reduce and prevent the formation and deposition of lipofuscin in skin, but also prevent acne.

5. Cucumber: Cucumber is rich in potassium salt and a certain amount of carotene, vitamin C, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, sugar, protein, mustard, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. Regular consumption of cucumber can eliminate freckles and whiten skin.

6. Whole grains: "The rougher you eat, the thinner your skin." Whole grains contain a lot of vitamins B and E, which are important nutrients to help your skin strengthen its resistance and elasticity.
