I am white

Having beautiful skin

The skin contains melanin, responsible for our
skin color. The more our skin contains, darker is
the color. The substance rate depends on heredity,
hormone levels and certain diseases (albinism).
The role of the melanin is to protect the skin
against UV radiation from the sun, and thus to
fight against aging and skin cancer.
You are against this extreme tanning trend?
You think natural or artificial tanning is «out»?
You do not tan?
You tan poorly?
You avoid the sun for health reasons?
It is time to assume whiteness! Let’s stand up
(yes, I put myself in the lot) and face those who
call us «aspirin» or ask us if we spent the summer
locked in a cupboard...

Eat properly

I think the most important advice to have a nice
skin lies in the food. The skin is a reflection of
our health, and doesn’t it partly depend on what
we eat? Nutrients are good for the body from the
inside as opposed to all the products we buy and
apply outside.
I’m not revealing anything to you, you have to
provide the body with vitamins, nutrients and
minerals daily.
Vitamin C that gives elasticity to the skin is
mainly contained in citrus fruits, strawberries,
cabbage, spinach, parsley and green peppers.
Melon, papaya, apricots, carrots, spinach,
red pepper and cabbage contain beta-carotene,
which allows the body to produce vitamin A,
responsible for cell renewal.

«Shortly after, a daughter was born;
she was white as snow, red as blood,
and her hair as black as ebony. She
was called Snow White.”
Tanned or pale complexion, it is a matter of taste.
Every summer, beauty magazines and blogs are
full of tips for the perfect tanning. However, there
are fewer articles for porcelain complexion.
To have a nice and clear complexion is not as
easy as you might think. Without caring, it’s
easy to look pale, yellowish or gray (thank you
Pollution)...

Let’s rely on omegas and vitamin E to improve
the flexibility and strength of our skin, Omegas
are found in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel),
and the vitamin E in the oils such as sunflower
oil.

On one hand, it is important to take care of
your skin whether it is white, black or mixed.
On the other hand, there are some natural tips
to be known for perfect white skin, worthy of
a porcelain doll. Let’s be BEAUTIFUL aspirin
tablets! Be proud of yourself, no matter what the
others say!
