00:00To beat the summer heat, the trend is OOTD or outfit of the day, spaghetti straps and
00:12short shorts.
00:18But for Alexandra, she's not ready for summer, she has a hidden dark side.
00:26It's not her body, but her dark underarms, knees and tibias.
00:33According to my friends, I don't want to wear sleeveless often.
00:38They always ask me to plant a tomato or whatever.
00:42It just hurts.
00:44It's really embarrassing.
00:46To whiten her dark underarms and tibias, Alexandra tried different whitening products.
00:55I've tried spray, lotion, powder, but it doesn't work.
01:05Just like Alexandra who wants to whiten her dark body parts, we often try a lot of products.
01:10But according to our resident dermatologist, it's important to choose and be careful when using it.
01:17Kojic itself is a good whitener.
01:20But it's different for different types of skin.
01:24It also depends on the type of skin you have.
01:31Another method that we often try to whiten dark body parts is to rub calamansi or lemon on the skin.
01:37But according to our expert, it doesn't work.
01:41As indicated by our resident dermatologist, it doesn't work.
01:45It's not good for the skin.
01:48It's not good for the skin.
01:50It's not good for the skin.
01:52It's not good for the skin.
01:54It's not good for the skin.
01:56But according to our resident dermatologist, it doesn't work.
01:59As citrus fruits are acidic, it can cause irritation on the skin.
02:04It can also cause redness, itching, and wounds.
02:09Putting the calamansi itself on the skin can actually be irritating.
02:15Especially if you do it on the tibias.
02:18That's why we extract the vitamin C from the calamansi.
02:24And you put it in an oil form or an oil-like liquid.
02:29That's how the medicine is made because it's safer for the skin and it penetrates better.
02:36For those who have a budget, their strategy to whiten the skin is to use glutathione.
02:42But it's not popular to drink the capsule.
02:44Because what's in it now is directly from the root or what's called glutadrip.
02:51If it's true, according to Dr. Jean, glutathione is an effective whitening agent.
02:55It's a type of antioxidant.
02:57But, fellow citizens, you should be able to tell who or where to use glutadrip.
03:02You should contact a licensed dermatologist
03:05to make sure that the FDA or Food and Drug Administration approves the medicine you will use.
03:11Injections should be very slow.
03:13That's where the problem is now if it's too fast.
03:17When they inject, they get dizzy.
03:20It's like they're shaking.
03:23They get cold and clammy.
03:26Then they get palpitated.
03:27That's where the problem is.
03:32What this laser will do is,
03:36first of all, it has a mode that will whiten the skin
03:45and then followed by the whitening.
03:50Another innovative method to whiten the dark skin is the so-called pigmentation laser.
03:57Like other commercial whitening products, it doesn't get instant results.
04:01The process needs to be repeated until the skin is completely whitened.
04:08If you're in a hurry to whiten your skin but you don't have enough budget,
04:10there are some home remedies that can help whiten dark body spots.
04:15One of them is to apply aloe vera ointment.
04:18It's a moisturizer without the harmful chemicals.
04:21When the skin is moisturized, it can whiten.
04:26Also, apply baking soda mixed with water.
04:30It has whitening properties.
04:32That's why it's used to whiten teeth.
04:38You shouldn't be ashamed of dark spots on different parts of the body.
04:41Because if you want, there are solutions that you can try.
04:46But be careful, my dears.
04:48Just choose the safest way in the end and you won't regret it.
