Beauty Tips #13: Snow White

Dashima

This is the type of seaweed that you can probably get at korean supermarket or your parents probably have it at home as an ingredient. It comes dried like normal seaweed and you have to boil it in water for it to get soft and sticky. I looked in dictionary and in English it's called tangleweed. Haha I think you should stick to dashima when you ask for it though. But its everywhere so its easy to get. Dashima is rich in nutrients and minerals. Just eating it will probably help you get brighter haha. Especially good for people with sun-burned and tanned skin. Many celebrities use this plant also.

Dashima pack
First, you have to boil the dashima in water until it get's soft and sticky. Don't boil for too long or you'll drain the nutrients and be left with soup base! With the water and the dashima together, pour it in a blender. Make sure you don't have too much water cuz the dashima is the main thing.
After blending it, you will be left with gooey green stuff. Distribute throughout your face and have it on for at least 20 minutes. Doing this for at least 2 times a week should give results.
Cucumber Pack

Cucumbers are good for dry skin, pimples, and for people who want skin that looks like tofu ^^. I have a friend whose skin is unbelievably white that I was so jealous and I asked him why his skin was so white. He told me he just puts cucumbers on his face everyday. I guess these days Korean guys take really good care of themselves huh?

I usually grate the cucumbers on a hand grater so it's easier for it to stick on all areas of my face. But you can do the cucumber pack if you wanna be hardcore. Woohoo

1. You need one small container of plain yogurt (tastes horrible) and 1/3 of cucumber. I guess the measurement would be in cups. You don't have to be precise with measurement though. Just do what you think is suitable.

2. Blend the cucumber first, then mix in the yogurt and leave on face for 15 minutes or more. And wash off with water.

Here are other ways to get whiter skin…

1. put on low power sunscreen when you go out.

2. Eat your vitamins everyday. I really good one is Centrum

3. If you are asian you eat a lot of rice. So when you're making your own rice or your mom is or whatever, you have to wash it first. The first time you wash the rice in a bowl, the water turn milky white. Use that first rice water and slowly wash your face with it. Helps with the white skin and is a method that lots of people use.



I recommend this one. Heehee

I don't know if many people know her but long time actress Han Hyesook is known for having really white skin for her age.



Her secret is milk and cotton pads.

All you do is soak cotton pads into milk and lay it over your face for 30 minutes or so.

You have to make sure you don't go in the sun right after though.



Another popular one is honey. Just smudge honey or honey with yogurt on your face and keep it on. It's edible too. ^^Y

Ok hope that was useful!!
