Brilio.net - Apart from acne, black spots are also a fairly disturbing facial skin problem. The reason is, this skin problem can make the face look less smooth and have an uneven color. As a result, the appearance becomes less than optimal and the sufferer's self-confidence decreases.
The part of the body that is susceptible to black spots is the face. Not without reason, the face has thin skin and is susceptible to exposure to free radicals. This condition is characterized by black or brownish spots on several parts of the face. Many factors cause the appearance of black spots.
Such as excessive sun exposure, the aging process, cosmetics, genetics, and pollution. The more often the face is exposed to sunlight without protection, the greater the risk of black spots appearing. Therefore, it is important to maintain healthy skin by using sunscreen before doing outdoor activities.
If you don't use sunscreen, your skin will naturally form protection from the dangers of sunlight by producing excessive melanin. Melanin triggers the appearance of black spots called black spots on the surface of the skin. This condition is also often called hyperpigmentation.
There are many methods that can be used to fade or remove black spots. Starting from treatments at beauty clinics, using skincare products specifically for dark spots or black spots, to using natural ingredients. One skincare product that is often used to treat black spots is dark spot serum.
Dark spot serums generally contain active ingredients that can help fade stubborn black spots on the face. But unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for using dark spot serums sold on the market because they contain very high chemical ingredients. Another solution, you can use natural ingredients which are no less effective if used regularly.
