To address yellowish skin and achieve skin whitening, increase your water intake to boost metabolism. Consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C—such as oranges, tangerines, and lemons—as vitamin C helps brighten and nourish the skin. Additionally, medical aesthetic treatments can be effective:
- Intense pulsed light (IPL) photorejuvenation stimulates collagen production in the dermis and improves underlying pigmentation;
- Chemical peels (e.g., glycolic acid peels) or intramuscular/intravenous “skin-brightening injections” are other options.
The most suitable treatment should be selected based on your individual skin type.
