Brilio.net - Black spots that appear on the face are not only caused by aging factors. Behind that, black spots can also be caused by other factors, one of which is environmental or geographical.
You need to know, people who live in tropical climates tend to have higher levels of melanin, in response to sun exposure. This condition makes the skin dark brown and spotty.
Not only that, black spots can also occur due to certain conditions, such as in pregnant women. The appearance of black spots in pregnant women is caused by changes in the hormone estrogen which increases.
Increased hormones can stimulate the production of melanocytes or color-producing cells. Therefore, it can cause some areas of the skin to darken. Exposure to UV rays can worsen the condition of black spots.
The appearance of black spots can be prevented by using sunscreen before leaving the house. However, if black spots have already appeared on the surface of the skin, you can treat them using a mask made from natural ingredients.
