Brilio.net - Blemishes on the face are not only caused by acne scars, but black spots which are also a common problem for most people. Black spots themselves are a skin problem characterized by the appearance of black-brown spots on several areas of the facial skin. Even so, in fact black spots can also appear in other areas of the body, you know. Such as hands, neck, or other parts that are susceptible to exposure to sunlight.

These black spots generally appear due to excessive sun exposure. The reason is, excessive exposure to sunlight can trigger the formation of melanin as the skin's natural effort to protect itself from the bad effects of sunlight. Not only sunlight, black spots can also appear due to other factors. Such as pollution, the effects of aging, genetics, and certain diseases.

Even though black spots can appear on all parts of the body, the face is one of the parts most susceptible to black spots. Not without reason, the face has thin skin and is susceptible to exposure to various free radicals. Low awareness of using sunscreen is also the reason why black spots on the face appear easily and are difficult to disappear.

Even though this skin problem does not cause pain or is dangerous to health, black spots on the face can still disturb one's appearance and reduce a person's self-confidence. If you are one of them, there is no need to worry, because there are many ways you can treat this facial skin problem. Such as undergoing treatment at a beauty clinic, using skincare products specifically for black spots or containing vitamin C, and using natural ingredients.

Using vitamin C serum is indeed effective for fading black spots on the face. However, unfortunately not everyone is suitable for using vitamin C serum considering that high levels of vitamin C will actually irritate the skin for some people, especially those with sensitive skin. Another solution, you can use natural ingredients.
