Brilio.net - Apart from acne, a dull face and blackheads, it turns out there are other facial skin problems that are also quite annoying, such as black spots or hyperpigmentation. This condition is indeed a facial skin problem that can make the appearance of the face less smooth, dull and have an uneven color.
This facial condition can arise due to various factors, such as exposure to sunlight too often or excessively, inflammatory acne, the effects of aging, pollution, use of unsuitable skincare or makeup, hormonal changes and so on.
So why is it called hyperpigmentation ? The reason is, this condition occurs when melanocyte cells produce too much melanin in the skin. Melanin itself is a pigment that gives color to skin, eyes and hair. Well, excessive exposure to sunlight can trigger excessive melanin production, causing black spots to appear on the surface of the skin.
Because of this, it's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to brighten black spots on their faces. There are various ways you can do this, such as getting treatment at a beauty clinic, using skincare products specifically for dark spots, and using natural ingredients.
One of the skincare products that is often used is facial serum - it has a special function according to the active ingredients in it, one of which is treating black spots. Even though it is effective, in fact there are natural ingredients that are no less powerful and effective for brightening the face with black spots.
