Brilio.net - The appearance of black spots on the face is not only caused by natural aging. However, external factors, such as excessive sun exposure, can cause premature aging. The reason is, skin that is often exposed to excessive sunlight can stimulate melanin production. This excessive melanin production can cause hyperpigmentation or black spots. Usually black spots appear on several parts of the face, such as the eyes and around the cheeks.
Black spots are not only caused by sunlight. However, irritation or inflammation of the skin also triggers black spots. This is due to exposure to irritating substances or unsuitable skin care products. When the skin becomes inflamed, it can stimulate excess melanin production and cause black spots to appear.
By knowing the causes of black spots, you can prevent this skin problem. However, if black spots have already appeared, you don't need to worry. The thing is, you can deal with black spots easily. The way to do this is by using a mask made from natural ingredients. Apart from being cheap, this natural ingredient can make a face aged 50 look 10 years younger.
The ingredients used are bitter melon and cucumber. These two ingredients are not just vegetables that can be consumed. Bitter gourd and cucumber contain good ingredients for maintaining beautiful skin.
Bitter gourd contains various antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. These ingredients help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and exposure to UV rays. This helps prevent the appearance of new black spots and relieves inflammation on the skin.
Bitter gourd contains compounds such as cucurbitacin and flavonoids which have natural whitening properties. Indirectly, bitter melon can help reduce excess pigmentation on the skin and fade black spots.
Meanwhile, cucumber has a high water content, so it can help moisturize the skin naturally. Well-hydrated skin tends to be healthier and less prone to dark spots. Cucumbers also contain enzymes and fatty acids which can help brighten and fade black spots on the skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of cucumber help reduce inflammation of the skin, which is often a contributing factor to the appearance of black spots.
