Rationale
1. Skin renews itself every 4 weeks. During this time, the old pigmented cells get sloughed off. The skin-whiteners brings the new cells containing less amount of melanin. We will use yogurt to exfoliate and get rid of old dead cells. Yogurt brightens skin tone, evens out skin discoloration, minimize fine lines and wrinkles. It allows deeper penetration by other skin lightening agents.
2. Fresh lime juice, Dried Lime Rind, Dried Orange Rind, are rich in Vitamin C and and exhibit good skin-whitening properties.
3. Tomato juice lighten up skin, reduce effects of sun exposure including sting of sun burn
4. The formula contains Turmeric to lighten up the skin. Do not add too much Turmeric than specified, it will dye your skin yellow. Turmeric also reacts with almost all the soap forming a light reddish tinge. Do NOT use soap to wash your face for two days after you have applied any formula that contains Turmeric to your face.
5. Almond oil is the richest natural source of Vitamin E. This is a penetrating skin moisturizer. It helps restructure skin, remove scars of old pimples. It also counters the skin-drying induced by whitening agents such as lime juice.
6. Honey is natural Glycolic Acid. It has small molecules that easily penetrate the skin making it good against the blackheads. It helps with skin exfoliation, oil reduction, collagen building, and skin bleaching. The major property is humectants that help to moisturize without oils that may clog up pores.
7. Oatmeal is added to form a paste holding all the ingredients together. For dry-skin, it helps retain moisture. |
