 When someone tells you they want to brighten up their skin, what comes to your mind? Hi guys, I'm Ekki. Welcome back to my channel. Today's video is centred on the difference between skin brightening, lightening and whitening. So keep on watching. What is skin brightening? Skin brightening is increasing the radiance and restoring the natural glow of your skin by removing dull skin cells and helps to reveal a bright and glowing looking skin. This means that skin brightening is part of your daily skin care routine. So skin brightening is not just rejuvenating your skin but also cleanses the skin. Most ingredients that is contained in skin brightening products are anti-aging. Such ingredients are written on. Skin brightening is saved as long as you read up on the product ingredients and this will help you to decide on what product to buy. A lot of times when people say they want to brighten up their skin, one thing that comes to mind first is who this person wants to bleach is your skin. This thought has almost become the truth. So what is the truth for you? Some of the ingredients that are saved for skin brightening is vitamin C, retinol, alpha and beta hydro oxide. Number two is skin lightening. So a lot of times people mistake brightening to lightening. Skin lightening is mostly for people that have hyperpigmentation dark spots. Skin lightening helps fade out dark spots and hyperpigmentation, revealing even skin tone to balance up with the other part of your body. So the goal of lightening the skin is not to bleach but to fade out dark spots or hyperpigmentation. Pardon me, I have fluid. So that's the reason why my voice is sounding the way it's sounding. Skin lightening creams are meant to lighten up areas where you have dark spot hyperpigmentation to help it even out with the other part of your skin. And then choosing a lightening product you read up on the ingredients. This will help you to know exactly the kind of products that you want to use for your skin. Most people that have hyperpigmentation or they battled with hyperpigmentation and eventually they got a product that worked for them. They keep on using skin lightening products because they want to prevent the hyperpigmentation or blemishes from reoccurring. Some of this safe ingredient that is found in lightening creams or products are about safe vitamin C and retinol. Skin lightening isn't limited to just creams. You can also source this naturally and apply to program areas. Some of these lightening agents that you can source from natural products are lemons, aloe vera and mulberry. This takes us to number three, which is the skin whitening. Skin whitening is also known as skin bleaching. These procedures are very painful because they dramatically changes your natural skin tone to a very light skin tone. So guys, I also upload beauty videos on here.

You can also use a bleaching cream to achieve similar results to that of chemically bleaching treatment. So while using this procedure to get a lighter skin tone, whether cream or chemical treatment, you really need to be careful because this might leave harmful substance into your system or into your skin, which might cause harmful things to you. And using bleaching creams or chemical treatment to lighten your skin tone might not permit you to walk under the sun because it is removal of the first layer of your skin, which is dangerous if you ask it. There are a lot of potential side effects that can be risky as may involve poisoning your skin with active ingredients such as mercury. There are many side effects too. Skin whitening and this may take a long time for it to heal. Lesser whitening might cause extra sensitivity to sunlight, bruises, swelling, dryness of the skin and infection. So before undergoing the procedure of skin whitening, whether you are using cream or chemical process, I will strongly advise that you see a specialist before you undergo this procedure. These three are different ways to treat your skin, but they have one similar thing, which the three of them are not permanent. So you have to be consistent on this for you to be able to maintain that skin tone that you have achieved. Regardless, the three of them serve different purposes. The skin whitening helps in revealing the radiance of your skin, helps in making your skin look glowing and brightening. While the skin whitening helps in reducing hyperpigmentation, dark spots and blemishes, while the skin whitening is changing your skin completely, like removing the first layer of your skin to reveal a lighter layer of your skin. Which means bleaching your skin beyond natural skin tone. So after watching this video to the end, which of the skin treatment or goals will you prefer?
