Fair skin has been considered to be beautiful in India for ages and thus, fair treatment is trending in Bengaluru and nationwide. Many Indians aren’t satisfied with their brown and dark skin tone and want to look much fairer. Thus, they are opting for fairness treatments to lighten their skin tone and flaunt their brighter complexion. At CNF in Bengaluru, our doctor checks your skin condition and suggests the right treatment to give you a fairer complexion.
Defining Skin Fairness
If you wish to have a fair skin tone, you should have an understanding of skin fairness and myths about lightening complexion.
What is Skin Fairness?
Beauty is kind of associated with fair skin tone in India, and thus, most people are obsessed with getting fairer. They use multiple skincare products, apply face packs every day, and get aesthetic treatments only to get fairer than before. Skin fairness is a deeply rooted cultural concept in Indian history that relates lighter skin tone with beauty, attractiveness, and desirability.
Fair skin is considered to be of a high social and financial status, mostly in colonial areas where people think lighter skin hails from European descent and thus, they get access to financial abundance. Even though judging people depending on their skin tone is discriminatory, the skincare and beauty industry still promotes fair skin because almost all dark and brown-skinned people want to get fairer.
Common Misconceptions about Skin Lightening
Fair skin is considered to be a significant beauty standard in Indian society. Thus, Indians will always be obsessed with fair complexion and opt for various types of skin lighteningn treatments to achieve that. Such treatments have a negative reputation because of different misconceptions that you should be aware of.
Here are the most common misconceptions about skin lightening:
Misconception 1 – Exfoliation is the Only Solution for Skin Lightening
Exfoliation can never be the only skin-lightening solution. Exfoliation is a simple method to remove dead cells and reveal brighter and healthier skin underneath. You should
not exfoliate too much as it may cause irritation and make your skin sensitive to beauty products.
Exfoliation can reduce the appearance of pigmentation marks as it sheds off the discolored and pigmented cells, which gives you a brighter and even skin tone.
Misconception 2 – Vitamin Intake Can Lighten Your Skin
All vitamins don’t work for skin lightening and can discolor or dry out your skin. Consuming Vitamin A, C, and E in the right quantities can help in skin lightening. Overconsumption of Vitamin E may make you feel dizzy. So, consult a doctor before you start taking vitamins for
their instructions on how much to consume them.
Misconception 3 – Home Remedies Can Do Wonders To Your Skin Tone
Home remedies, such as milk, lemon, and turmeric, are known for their capabilities to lighten skin tone. However, such natural ingredients aren’t very effective as they may cause reactions on your skin. Even scientists don’t have proof of such home remedies lightening skin tone. Test the efficacy of such ingredients on a small portion of the skin before applying them on your face.
Misconception 4 – Ayurvedic Medicines are a Safe Skin Lightening Solution
Ayurvedic medicines are considered to be a safe option to lighten skin as they contain no chemicals. Such medications are always promoted as natural, harmless and safe remedies. However, ayurvedic medicines contain several clinically non-approved and unknown ingredients, which make them unsafe and less efficient to use for skin tightening.
Misconception 5 – OTC Cream is Enough and Specialists Give Unnecessary
Recommendations
OTC cream application can never be enough for skin lightening as it is a procedure that involves applying topical creams to aesthetic treatments, such as chemical peels and laser therapy on your face. A doctor recommends a scientifically proven and dermatologically tested treatment after checking your skin Getting a fair complexion doesn’t require only oral medicine or a specific treatment.
The Science of Skin Pigmentation
Skin pigmentation can be a big aesthetic concern and hurt your self-esteem. Before curing this skin concern, you should learn the science behind it. Melanocytes are big cells in the epidermis bottom with projections like lengthy tentacles that can secrete melanin into your bodyās other cells.
The skin tone gets darker with the secretion of more melanin.
The melanocyte sizes and level of melanin production differ among the races from each other. The enzyme tyrosinase converts the amino acid tyrosine to melanin in the melanocyte. Excess tyrosine conversion to melanin may cause hyperpigmentation disorders.
Melanin: The Pigment Behind the Color
Melanin is a pigment that determines your skin color. A melanocyte is a cell that affects melanin production and distribution in your skin. High melanin production can benefit skin health by protecting it against the sunās harmful UV rays, aging, and cancer. Melanin disorders can cause severe hyperpigmentation on your skin.
Factors Influencing Skin Color
Your skin color depends on various factors below:
Human Race Evolution
Evolutionary forces determine the complexion of human beings. Homo sapiens evolved in Africa, which gave them a dark skin tone to protect against sun damage protect against harmful sun rays, and prevent disorders, such as actinic keratosis, premature wrinkles, and cancer. Their natural skin tone changed from deep brown to lighter shades later so they can survive easily depending on the environment.Ā
Melanogenesis
Melanogenesis is the procedure of production of melanin, the pigment, which gives color to the skin tone. This process mainly protects your skin against harmful sun rays that may cause critical disorders. Melanogenesis protects the hypodermis, the layer under your skin from harmful UV rays.Ā
Thus, people in tropical areas have a darker complexion because of the locationās proximity to the equator. People living in cold areas are far from the equator and donāt get much UV ray exposure, and thus they have a fairer skin tone.
Genetics
Multiple DNA genetics function together to give color to your skin. Some DNA affects human skin tone more than others, which can lighten or darken their complexion regardless of their parentsā skin tone. DNA has two sets in a human, where one belongs to the father and another to the father.Ā
The DNA passing from every parent determines if a baby will have a light, dark, or wheatish skin tone.
Weather
Skin color tends to change as the weather changes. Your skin gets the maximum sun exposure in summer because of which it develops tanning, discoloration, freckles,
pigmentation, and a darker complexion. Skin texture becomes oily and greasy in warm weather.Ā
Ā Cold weather limits your skinās UV exposure, which makes your skin dry and flaky by extracting the moisture out of your skin. Your complexion gets darker when you don’t moisturize it every day.Ā
Environmental Factors
Your skin may get damaged and look darker because of various environmental factors. Dirt and dust may clog the pores on your skin and cause acne, which can develop deep scars, pigmentation marks, and discoloration.
Air pollution affects your bodyās internal organs and damages your skin. The airborne particulate matter may cause pigmentation and premature aging because of which your skin gets darker. Hot and humid weather exposes your skin to harmful UV rays, which cause tanning and pigmentation.
Sunscreen: A Must for Fair Skin Maintenance
When it comes to skincare and maintenance, applying sunscreen is a must to protect it against harmful UV rays. Your skin gets exposed to UV rays even on warm and cloudy days, which may cause wrinkles, discoloration, and skin cancer.Ā
Spending hours in the sun without applying SPF can damage your collagen, elastin, and cells. Everyday sunscreen use can prevent premature aging, sun spots, and skin cancer. Use SPF of at least SPF 30 and reapply it after every 2 hours.Ā
How Sun Exposure Affects Skin Fairness
The harmful sunās UV rays may darken and damage your skin. The outer layer has cells containing melanin, which protects your skin from the sun. Melanin protects your skin from UV rays that may burn your skin and decrease its elasticity causing premature aging. Fair skin gets tanned as sunlight produces more melanin and darkens it.
As new cells pass to the surface and tanned cells get removed, the tanning fades.Ā
When UV rays get inside the deeper layers of your skin, they may damage or kill cells. People having less melanin content in their skin get sunburn quickly and thus, should protect themselves by avoiding sun exposure and applying SPF.
