In general, achieving skin whitening can be done through sun protection, choosing skincare products, dietary adjustments, improving lifestyle habits, and medical aesthetic treatments.

In daily life, apply sunscreen regularly and wear sun-protective hats and sunglasses when outdoors. Choose skincare products containing whitening ingredients such as vitamin C, arbutin, and niacinamide, as well as moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. In terms of diet, consume more foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, and kiwis, and increase intake of antioxidant-rich foods like green tea and blueberries. Avoid staying up late and ensure sufficient sleep. Medical aesthetic treatments for skin whitening include chemical peels, hyaluronic acid injections, microneedling therapy, photorejuvenation (IPL), and fractional laser treatments.
