Brilio.net - The face is one part of the body that is susceptible to various skin problems. This is because the face has thin skin and is more susceptible to exposure to free radicals than other parts of the body. Some common facial skin problems experienced by most people are a dull face, wrinkles, acne, blackheads, black spots, and pores that appear enlarged.
Black spots and large pores are quite disturbing to your appearance. Because of these two problems, the face looks dull, has uneven skin tone, textured skin, and is less smooth. It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to deal with black spots and large pores on the face.
The presence of black spots and large pores on the face does not just appear like that. The reason is that there are various trigger factors that cause this problem. These include excessive sun exposure, genetics, hormonal changes, changes in weather or temperature, lack of skin care, free radicals, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
Of these various factors, especially sunlight is the biggest trigger factor that causes black spots and large pores to appear on the face. Not without reason, UVA and UVB rays can trigger excess melanin production as an effort to naturally protect the skin from the bad effects of sunlight. Well, this excess melanin will give rise to black spots or black spots on the surface of the skin, which are called black spots.
Not only that, excessive exposure to sunlight will also trigger the production of excess oil or sebum on the face, making it easy for dust and free radicals to stick to the surface of the skin. These attached free radicals will clog the facial pores if they are not cleaned immediately. This blockage will cause blackheads to appear and make the pores appear enlarged.
To overcome this, many people use natural ingredients to make facial masks to treat black spots and large pores on the face. One of the natural ingredients used is yoghurt.
