Last year was the first year of the idol group, and a large number of white-skinned, good-looking and versatile little brothers and sisters appeared around everyone.
However, if you want to say which idol group is strong, it should be the “Western Tour Men’s Group” headed by Tang Priest hundreds of years ago.
Tang Priest C started his career and is versatile. His appearance alone can kill the little fresh meat on the market now.
First of all, people are super white, and < < Journey to the West > > is written like this:
[I saw a white-faced fat monk in front of my head and ran towards the door……]
He is super handsome and has strong powder absorption ability. The number one fan, the King of Queen, wants to have children for him. The book says Tang Priest:
[Fengzi Yingwei, looks grand. The teeth are as white as silver, the lips are red and the mouth is square…]
In addition, the skin is so tender that even monsters are jealous and praise him:
[tender scraped meat, thin Jiao Jiao’s skin, and is a good monk! ]
As a scientific and rigorous clove doctor, he is very curious: Tang’s monk spent 18 years on the way to learn from the scriptures, why can he still keep his skin white and tender and kill a bunch of fresh meat?
After reading Journey to the West, dermatologist Zeng Xiangru wanted to share three details in the book.
Tang’s monk is so white
All by gene
Our natural skin color is determined by genes, and the skin color is basically fixed six months after birth.
Tang’s monk is so white that he has completely inherited his mother. His mother has a face like a full moon, that is, her face is white and round.

However, it is especially difficult for us Asian women to maintain a white and tender skin color like Tang Priest.
According to a study, more than 30% of Chinese women over 40 have serious pigment problems, especially color spots.
However, among white French women, the proportion of women with the same degree of pigment problems is less than 8%.
Therefore, if you are the little sister of China, you are born to lose to the little sister of Europe and America in whitening.
Tang Priest Has Good Living Habits
Never do
Tang’s monk alms for alms and eats vegetarian food all the way, all of which are rice, vegetables and fruits. The most abundant meal is the new meal of the king of the Queen’s State, which is also very common.

During our 18-year business trip, we have never seen Tang Priest drink lemonade or eat collagen, nor have we let his disciples kill mussel essence and grind it into pearl powder, eat it or wipe it on his face.
And he looks like a rough man, but he is actually a delicate boy.
Do you often listen to the advice of skin care experts:
- Oral food and health care products are almost ineffective for whitening, Try not to eat it. Cucumber application is not used for whitening what, but it may lead to allergy and the accompanying heavy color after inflammation. White needles are not necessarily safe. Many women now take white needles in order to love beauty, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued special warnings that some white needles may increase the risks of hepatitis and AIDS.

Tang Priest’s Secret of Keeping Skin White:
Sunscreen! Sunscreen!
We saw in movies and TV plays that during the journey, Tang Priest often wore Pilu hat until the end of learning from the scriptures.

In fact, this is the reprocessing of film and television art, shaping the unique image of Tang Priest. In the real journey, this is actually the case:

Tang’s monk was wearing long gown and trousers, and was carrying a huge black sunshade. He was riding on a white dragon horse, just like driving an SLK with its own convertible.
In short, sun protection is first-class, and it is a little difficult to turn black!
With this operation alone, we have reason to suspect that Tang Priest has seen < < Beauty Skin Science > >.
This book talks about the principle of skin blackening, of which [sun exposure] is a very important reason.
The production of melanin is divided into several steps, in which ultraviolet rays play a significant role.
Ultraviolet rays accelerate melanin production, allowing you to change black.
There is an amino acid in the skin called tyrosine and an enzyme called tyrosinase.
One of them is like dry wood and the other is fire. When they meet, they will react violently. After a complicated evolution process, they will eventually synthesize melanin.
These melanins are like protective umbrellas for skin cells and can resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to skin cells.
However, ultraviolet rays can enhance tyrosinase activity, just like adding another fire to the dry wood fire, the dry wood will burn more vigorously, more melanin particles will be produced, so your skin will turn black.

This is a cross-sectional view of the skin. The left side is not sunscreen, the right side is sunscreen, and the melanin synthesis is different.
The black dot in the picture is melanin. We can obviously see that the skin on the left without sun protection is very black and melanin is produced a lot. The skin on the right border is white and tender, and melanin production is less.
Melanin runs around and makes you produce color spots in droves.
After melanin particles are synthesized, they will be released and transported, that is, they will run through your skin.
Why do you flee? Blame melanocytes for being too generous.
Melanocytes have many tentacles, and when they see a normal cell, they send a melanin, just like a small advertisement. Under the action of ultraviolet rays, it sends out quickly and more.
If you think about it, if all the people in the square are holding small advertisements, it will definitely be a mess in the end. Let’s look at the process of melanin transportation from the perspective of skin:

Yes, this happens on the skin, which becomes visible to the naked eye. For example, we can obviously find that freckles become more obvious in summer.
Therefore, sun protection is very important for whitening. As long as you can resist ultraviolet rays, you will always be the white, tender and tender you.
If you want to whiten yourself, you should attack melanin.
Generally speaking, it is quite difficult for you to keep the living habits of Tang’s monk and turn black.
If you want to become whiter, you should do something about melanin in your skin, such as blocking the formation of melanin.
A more reasonable and effective method is to use some effective whitening ingredients.
Which ingredients can effectively whiten skin?
Hydroquinone
Hydroquinone can be said to be one of the strongest whitening components. According to the existing research, dermatologists try to use hydroquinone for the treatment of freckles and chloasma in clinical practice, and the color spots can obviously fade or even disappear within 4-8 weeks of medication.
However, due to the risk of hypopigmentation or even depigmentation of skin, our country manages it as a drug and needs to use it under the guidance of doctors. It cannot be added to skin care products.
Kojic acid
Kojic acid is a powerful whitening ingredient. Like hydroquinone, kojic acid can act on the first step of melanin synthesis, inhibit tyrosinase activity, forcibly pour a ladle of cold water on fire, and reduce melanin synthesis, thus achieving whitening effect. It can be added to skin care products in low concentration.
In many studies, the color spots will obviously fade after 12 weeks.
Nicotinamide
Nicotinamide is a star ingredient in recent years, which can effectively prevent the tentacles of melanocytes from releasing melanin to surrounding cells, that is, it is often said that it prevents the transportation of melanin, so it has certain whitening effect.
According to many existing cell studies, external application of nicotinamide with a concentration of 5% can reduce melanin release and transport by 35% ~ 68%.
Whitening ingredients are actually chemical ingredients, which need to be made into skin care products according to a certain proportion, so that you can use them safely and achieve whitening effect.
