At first glance you may think using and applying skin lightening creams are complicated, but it is not so complicated at all. Obviously, each skin lightening cream may have its own unique characteristics therefor is always good to read the instructions on the packages and follow those. But here we will discuss some basic guidelines for best practices.
Always wash your face before
Properly cleansing and washing your face is an essential part of many skincare routines and here it is again important. The first step that must be taken when applying a skin lightening cream is to properly wash and cleanse your face. This is best done with warm water which helps to open the pores on your skin. By allowing the pores to be opened the skin lightening cream will easily penetrate into your skin.
Exfoliate
After having properly washed your face to allow the pores to open up the next step is to exfoliate. As we have discussed before exfoliation is a process that helps to remove dead skin cells on the skin. Once you have removed the dead skin cells only live cells remains which is what you want!
Rinse and dry your skin properly after exfoliating
After you have finished exfoliating your skin properly you should rinse it with warm water. After having rinsed your skin properly you should use a soft towel to dry your skin. Try drying your skin gently with the towel so you will not damage those live skin cells that have been left behind after exfoliating.
Apply the skin lightening cream
After you have washed, exfoliated and dried your face gently it’s time to apply the skin whitening cream. You can apply the cream into your skin via circular motions lightly and delicately until it is well observed into the skin.
Please also note that you need to have patience when using skin lightening creams. Skin whitening creams do not work immediately and we have a great article about how long it takes for skin lightening creams to work which you should read.
