A fruit to whiten the skin? Nature knows best when it comes to skin whitening. The solution now unfolds…
Though sun-kissed skin is obviously "in" nowadays, many people still dream of having fair complexion.
In the Philippines, Filipinos have been using their native lemon, Calamansi or Kalamunding or whatever it is being called, as natural agent for whitening their skin.
Its effect has been proven by thousands for years. In fact, cosmetics laboratories all over the land had tested the fruit and even produced skin products out of it such as soaps and astringents.
However, don't you know that there is another fruit which is equally as effective as the Calamansi but the world has yet to discover?
Let it be known for people to see. Kamias, which the Filipinos use as ingredient in their native dish "Sinigang" and as "Minatamis" or a flavorful dessert after a heavy meal, is being used by few since mid-1900s not only for skin whitening but as protection against insect bites and skin irritation.
Anyone can try it (except people who have super sensitive skin) by rubbing its citrus extract all over the body before taking a bath. Let it dry for five to ten minutes and it can be done at least twice a week. If you're the impatient type, you can use a fruit juicer to help you in the extraction.
By knowing its simple yet rewarding result that it can give, its popularity, which is only mouth-spread between local fences, can someday be a world famous active ingredient in skin products not just in soaps and astringents but also in insect repellant lotions?
