What are some ways to whiten breasts?

When many women first discover that their nipples and areolas have turned black, they cannot accept it and cannot get over the psychological barrier. For example, after a woman becomes pregnant, due to hormonal changes in the body, the areola will become larger and darker in color. Especially after giving birth, she has to breastfeed, which will also cause the areola to turn darker. In addition to these, some women may have received stimulation, such as excessive sexual activity, or wearing incorrect underwear, which will cause the nipples and areolas to become very dark. For women, when encountering this situation, the first thing to do is to adjust their mentality. This is actually a normal physiological phenomenon. If you want to make your breasts whiter, you can also take the following methods.

First, the method of areola whitening

In fact, there are three main methods for areola whitening on the market, namely laser, permanent bleaching and whitening products. Laser: The advantage is that it works quickly and effectively. The disadvantage of using laser to whiten the areola is that it takes a long time for the wound to heal and it is expensive. The cost of laser treatment varies from 8,000 to 10,000 yuan, depending on the size of the areola. The recovery period is about 10-12 days. After the scab falls off, the areola will become pink like a young girl. However, laser treatment is not a "once and for all" method for whitening the areola. Depending on each person's skin type, the original color will be restored in about 3-6 months. Therefore, the color of the areola treated by laser treatment has a "shelf life".

Permanent bleaching: Permanent bleaching uses a tattoo method to tattoo the areola into pink. Although the effect will never fade, red tattoos are difficult to remove. Once a pink nipple is tattooed, it may be difficult to remove. Unlike laser, permanent bleaching is more painful during the process, but it can be said to be a "once and for all" method. However, this method can cause considerable damage to the areola and nipple.

Whitening products: Apply whitening products containing arbutin, L-ascorbic acid, and A acid to the areola area. It has a nourishing effect, but the whitening effect is limited. In addition, for those whose areola darkens due to hormonal changes after pregnancy and childbirth, since melanin is deposited in the dermis, and whitening products are only effective in diluting the melanin in the epidermis, applying whitening skin care products on the nipples will not be effective.

Second, what are the areola whitening products?

There are many areola whitening products on the market now, and the brands are also very confusing, but the main ingredients of many areola whitening products are the following three elements. Although there are many different areola whitening brands on the market, the ingredients are generally the same. Therefore, we will learn about these areola whitening products on the market based on the ingredients of areola whitening.

1. Vitamin C and vitamin C derivatives: Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, mostly found in vegetables and fruits. Vitamin C can promote the synthesis of collagen, anti-oxidation, maintain metabolism, etc., and can effectively inhibit the formation of melanin. The effects of vitamin C derivatives are similar to those of vitamin C. They can effectively whiten the skin, but their properties are unstable and not easily absorbed by the skin.

2. Kojic acid: During the formation of melanin, kojic acid reacts chemically with copper ions to inhibit the activity of tyrosine, achieving the effect of whitening and removing spots, and it has stability that vitamin C does not have. However, studies have shown that long-term use of kojic acid may cause cell toxicity, leading to chromosomal mutations, skin diseases and other problems.

3. Arbutin: Arbutin is the essence extracted from licorice, mulberry and bearberry. It can effectively inhibit the formation of pigments and decompose melanin. It is a natural whitening agent.

Third, how do pregnant women care for their nipples?

It is necessary for pregnant women to take care of their nipples. This is not only from the perspective of the beauty of the mother's own breasts, but also related to the breastfeeding problem of the baby in the future. If pregnant women take good care of their nipples, it can greatly reduce the occurrence of nipple cracks, mastitis, nipple retraction, and nipples that are too large or too small, laying a good foundation for breastfeeding in the future. So how should expectant mothers take care of their nipples?

1. After each bath, apply olive oil or vitamin ointment on your nipples, and gently rub the nipples and surrounding areas with your thumb and index finger. The massage should last about 5 minutes. If you do this every day, the nipple skin will become less delicate, and the mother will not feel pain when the baby sucks the nipple after birth.

2. If you have flat or inverted nipples, you can correct them now. Use your thumb, index finger, and middle finger to pinch the nipple, gently pull it outwards, hold for a moment, pull it 15 times each time, and do it 3 times a day; you can also use a breast pump for correction.

3. If you experience abdominal discomfort, as if your uterus is contracting, stop breast care immediately and see a doctor. Pregnant women with habitual miscarriage should not do breast care and nipple maintenance on their own.
