Top 5 Japanese secret of skin whitening.

Exfoliate with azuki beans

Since as early as the Nara period (710-794 ), Japanese women have used this red little bean not only as part of a healthy diet but also for healthy-looking skin. Ground into a fine powder or a slightly coarse scrub, azuki beans are a wonderful natural remedy for those prone to acne or blackheads or who wish to diminish fine lines. These legumes are high in antioxidants and contain a naturally occurring foaming agent known as saponin that helps to cleanse and tighten pores. It has an immediate effect when used as it helps gently remove dirt and dead skin cells, unclog pores and brighten the skin by stimulating blood pressure.

Maintain a traditional balanced diet

To ensure good balance, a traditional Japanese meal is usually made under the ichijyu sansai principle (one soup with three vegetable dishes plus rice and fish). These spreads are rich in vitamins and high omega- 3 fatty acids that help reduce the body's production of toxins that can cause inflammatory skin conditions and premature aging. Seaweed (wakame) and Kelp (kaiso) found in almost every Japanese dish are rich in iodine and keratin - both highly essential for healthy skin, nails, and shiny resilient hair. Fish is rich in protein and lower in fat than red meat, while small portions of various vegetables will supply much-needed vitamins and minerals.

Nourish the skin with rice bran
