But don't rub it too much. The water temperature for cleaning the area should not be too hot, it is best to keep it between 36° and 38°.

(2) Eat more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, such as tomatoes, oranges, lemons, hawthorns, citrus, green vegetables, sweet potatoes, tangerines, carrots, etc. Vitamin C can reduce melanin deposition in the skin, reduce pigmentation in goose bumps, and accelerate the restoration and whitening of the skin.

(3) Pay attention to the nutrition and moisture of the skin. When the skin is in a harsh environment, be sure to protect it to avoid clogging the pores. Take a bath frequently to keep the skin clean and hygienic.
