Summer Care Part 2: Whitening

Putting this here a day early because I will not be able to blog tomorrow! Now for part two! I hope won't be as long as part one... so todays topic is whitening. I know this might not apply to everyone, some people enjoy being tan and some people are simply always going to be dark just because that's who they are. But for me, being tan is something to avoid! I look funny when I'm tan, and I don't want to be wrinkly and I definitely don't want skin cancer!! Being white is not very popular in the USA, unfortunately for me... I get mocked for it... but enough whining! I think it looks nice and I am going to show you how to do it too! First of all, it's most important to protect yourself from the sun. You should do this whether or not you want to stay pale. A general rule I use for picking sunscreen is 30spf or higher. You should use a different sunscreen for your face, body, and lips. Make sure your face sunscreen is oil free or you could easily breakout like me!! Especially in the summer, it's good to look for whitening in skin care products like cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. These are not easy to find in American stores at ALL!! Luckily, it is super easy to find on sasa.com. Make sure you make your orders for summer skin products early, because sasa takes a while to ship, at least to me O-O It looks really really bad to have a pale face and a tan body. I used to get cake faced sooo easily, until I discovereed this DIY trick for whitening your entire body! Taking milk baths once or twice a week is very good at evening your skin tone to match your face. It also feels good and is relaxing. I like to add a tablespoon or two of lemon juice for extra whitening benefits! Add your favorite face mask, maybe some cucumbers for your eyes, and you've got yourself a home made spa day! I even light candles and give myself a pedicure. This is also a great time to use an exfoliating body sugar, just to finish it off. Wow, that turned out to be waaaay shorter than the slimming one... probably because I have only been interested in whitening for a couple summers, but I have had lots of experience slimming myself haha!
