Although not dangerous, dark spots can reduce self-confidence and make someone feel uncomfortable.

Brilio.net - Dark spots on the face are a common skin problem experienced by many people, especially those who are often exposed to sunlight. These spots can appear in various forms, such as dark spots or patches that interfere with appearance. Although not dangerous, dark spots can reduce self-confidence and make someone feel uncomfortable with their appearance.

Dark spots or hyperpigmentation on the face occurs when there is a buildup of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, in certain areas. Some factors that trigger the formation of dark spots include exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, hormonal changes, aging, and the use of certain medications or cosmetics that irritate the skin.

Excessive sun exposure stimulates melanin production as a form of skin protection, but sometimes this actually causes dark spots or spots that are difficult to remove. This is often referred to as sun spots or age spots which usually appear on the face, back of the hands, or other parts of the body that are often exposed to the sun.

In addition, hormonal changes can also affect the formation of dark spots. This phenomenon often occurs in women who are pregnant or using birth control pills, which causes a condition known as melasma. Melasma usually appears as dark patches on the cheeks, forehead, and area around the lips.

To overcome this, some people will use natural ingredients to make their faces bright and free from dark spots. As shared by a TikTok user with the account name @life_of_she.

Black tea is believed to help overcome dark spots on the face because of its high antioxidant content, especially polyphenols and flavonoids, which can fight free radicals that cause skin damage. These substances work by protecting the skin from damage caused by UV rays, which is one of the main causes of dark spots.

Powdered milk is believed to be able to fade the appearance of dark spots on the face because of its lactate and fatty acid content. Lactate, which is the acidic form of milk, has mild exfoliating properties to remove dead skin cells and stimulate skin regeneration.

This process can speed up the recovery of skin that has hyperpigmentation or dark spots due to sun exposure or acne scars. In addition, milk is also rich in vitamins A and D, both of which play a role in improving skin texture and stimulating the production of new skin cells.

Honey is known to have various benefits for the skin, including its ability to overcome dark spots on the face. One of the reasons is because of its antioxidant content and antibacterial properties. Antioxidants in honey, such as flavonoids and phenolics, can fight free radicals that damage the skin and trigger the formation of dark spots due to sun exposure or inflammation.
