Many girls dream of a perfectly even white complexion, but in the spring-summer period, when there are especially many clear days, it is almost impossible to protect your face from the sun.

Plastic surgeons know how to make skin white quickly. Of course, turning to them is a last resort, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Plastic surgeons have several types of procedures that help remove all cosmetic blemishes from the face and achieve its ideal whiteness.

You can deal with age spots and skin unevenness on your own, fortunately now there are many options for this.

ethnoscience
The problem of age spots, freckles and unwanted tanning existed in ancient times, when whiteness of the face was a sign of noble origin, and dark skin was the lot of the lower strata. Therefore, the question of how to make a white face was even more pressing then. And this problem was successfully solved without the help of surgeons or chemicals, because at that time there was no trace of them. Homemade masks and scrubs are environmentally friendly and do not cause any harm to the skin, which is why more and more girls and women suffering from uneven complexion prefer to use them. So let’s look at the most popular folk remedies for face whitening.
When bleaching is not recommended
Usually there are no strict contraindications to skin whitening at home, but you should be careful if your skin is prone to allergic reactions or is too dry.
Before using this or that brightening mask, it is better to play it safe and do a test: apply the mixture to your wrist, if after 15-20 minutes everything is fine with the skin, then feel free to proceed further.
After lightening, don’t forget to moisturize and nourish dry skin well, it desperately needs it. For oily skin, sometimes a simple wash or wipe with toner is enough.
If you plan to go outside into the sun in the coming hours, it is better to postpone bleaching to another time. The same rules must be followed if you use ready-made cosmetics with a skin lightening effect.

Cucumber - well done
Cucumber has not only very strong whitening properties, but also good moisturizing properties. It’s also good that you don’t need to make any very complex masks from cucumber; it’s enough to use it in its pure form. You can simply cut it into circles and apply it to cleansed facial skin for half an hour, or you can grate it on a fine grater and apply the resulting pulp to your face for the same time. If you have oily skin, add a few drops of vodka to the cucumber pulp - this will help you get rid of oily shine.

How to make your skin pale - makeup secrets
The most important thing to remember is that the darker the skin color, the lighter the shade of the foundation should be. To avoid an unsightly yellow tint, try not to use cheap products, as well as products that have the word “beige” in their names. Preference should be given to Ivory. Ivory also comes in different varieties (light, dark, etc.).
Very pale skin
Secrets of pale makeup:
- Be sure to use concealer under your eyes and in the T-zone. This will even out your complexion;
- You can’t completely give up blush - your makeup will look unnatural. But instead of the usual peach or brick shades, it is better to use pale pink or pearlescent;
- Highlighter is a pale girl's best friend. It should be applied to all areas that may show an unnecessary blush, as well as areas that require highlighting. This is the area under the eyes, the forehead, the part between the eyelid and eyebrow;
- Don't neglect powder. Celebrities with white skin prefer Mineral Veil, as it is known for its strengthening nature and gives the epidermis a natural pale pink glow;
- To shade light skin and visually make it even paler, it is important to place accents correctly. For example, to become a real Snow White, you can dye your hair black or dark brown, use bright lipstick or eye shadow, and choose dark clothes.
