In natural foods, there are many kinds of food that have the efficacy of skin care and freckle removal. Here are a few foods that have been clinically proven to be effective.
Tomato Juice:
Drinking a glass of tomato juice daily or eating tomatoes regularly can help prevent and treat freckles. This is because tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, which is why they are called "vitamin C warehouses." Vitamin C can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin, effectively reducing the formation of melanin, thus making the skin whiter and softer, and fading dark spots.
Cucumber Porridge:
Take 100 grams of rice, 300 grams of fresh tender cucumber, 2 grams of salt, and 10 grams of ginger. Wash the cucumber, peel it, remove the core, and slice it thinly. Rinse the rice and crush the ginger after washing it. Add about 1000 milliliters of water to the pot, place the rice and ginger on the fire, bring to a boil, then switch to low heat and slowly cook until the rice is soft. Then add the cucumber slices and continue cooking until the porridge thickens. Add salt for seasoning. Drink twice a day while warm. This can moisturize the skin, remove spots, and aid in weight loss. Modern scientific research has shown that cucumbers contain abundant potassium salts and a certain amount of carotene, vitamins C, B1, B2, sugars, proteins, as well as mustard oil, phosphorus, and iron. Regular consumption of cucumber porridge can eliminate freckles and whiten the skin.
Lemon Rock Sugar Juice:
Squeeze lemon juice and drink with an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Lemons are rich in vitamin C, with 100 grams of lemon juice containing up to 50 milligrams of vitamin C. In addition, they also contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, and B vitamins. Drinking lemon juice regularly can not only make the skin whiter and softer but also prevent skin blood vessel aging and remove facial pigmentation spots. It also has the effect of preventing arteriosclerosis.
Black Fungus Red Date Soup:
Take 30 grams of black fungus and 20 red dates. Clean the black fungus, remove the cores from the red dates, add an appropriate amount of water, and simmer for about half an hour. Drink once after breakfast and dinner each day. Regular consumption can beautify the complexion, remove spots, and keep the body healthy and beautiful. It can also be used to treat facial black spots and slimness. In the book *Compendium of Materia Medica*, black fungus is recorded as being able to remove black spots on the face. Black fungus can moisturize the skin and prevent skin aging; red dates harmonize qi, strengthen the spleen, and moisturize the skin, aiding black fungus in removing black spots.
Carrot Juice:
Grind fresh carrots into juice, take 10-30 milliliters, and apply to the face after washing your face morning and evening. Let it dry, then gently pat the face with hands coated in plant oil. Additionally, drinking a glass of carrot juice daily also has a spot-removing effect. Carrots are rich in vitamin A precursors. Vitamin A precursors can be converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A has the function of smoothing and strengthening the skin and can prevent rough skin and freckles.
Additionally, using boiled winter melon vines to wash your face or bathe can moisturize the skin and remove freckles. The juice of marigold leaves also has the effect of skincare and spot removal. Crush the marigold leaves, extract the juice, and apply it to the face to both remove freckles and refresh and whiten the skin. Dandelion flower water can also be used for spot removal. Take a handful of dandelions, pour a cup of boiling water over them, cool, filter, and use the dandelion flower water to wash your face morning and evening. This can keep the face clean and reduce the occurrence of dermatitis.
