Brilio.net - Having black spots or spots on the surface of the face is a problem that no one wants. The reason is that the appearance of black spots on the face for some people is quite disturbing to their appearance and makes you feel less confident. This certainly makes them look for tricks to brighten dark spots.
Discussing black spots, this skin problem arises because it is caused by a number of factors. The first factor you need to know is skin that is exposed to excessive sunlight, especially without protection. It is common knowledge that UV rays can stimulate melanin production, which causes hyperpigmentation on the skin.
Apart from that, the second factor is inflammation of the skin. Inflammation that occurs on the skin can be caused by acne scars or other skin conditions that can increase melanin production in certain areas. This condition often leaves scars or black spots after inflammation occurs.
The third factor is hormonal changes that occur in several phases, such as pregnancy, menopause, and the use of contraceptives which can affect melanin production.
Meanwhile, the fourth factor, namely aging, often occurs when you are no longer young. In this condition the skin tends to experience a decrease in collagen and elastin production. This is what causes the skin to change color and black spots appear.
You can overcome these black spots that are worrying you using one method. This trick was shared by a doctor named Dokter Fery via his YouTube channel, namely Dokter Fery TV. The video, which is approximately 14 minutes long, provides information about tricks for whitening facial skin using natural ingredients.
Quoted from the YouTube channel, treating black spots using natural ingredients is more recommended compared to applying facial whitening creams which contain dangerous ingredients.
"Like mercury content, for example or hydroquinone. Friends, please remember that," said Doctor Fery, quoted by briliobeauty.net from his YouTube channel, Wednesday (21/2).
According to Doctor Fery, this mercury is corrosive and can thin the skin. Therefore, it is mandatory to avoid using creams containing these ingredients. Instead, you can lighten black spots by using natural ingredients, such as sweetener, namely honey.

It turns out that honey is not only used to mix food and drinks. However, it can be used to treat skin problems, such as black spots. The reason is, honey contains natural enzymes which can help gently remove dead skin cells, thus helping speed up skin regeneration and fade black spots.
"Honey has quite good vitamin C because if we talk about antioxidants, antioxidants are very good at binding free radicals. Bound free radicals can make skin healthier and cleaner," said Doctor Fery.
In addition, honey contains powerful antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and disguise dark spots. Honey has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the skin, thereby helping reduce the possibility of black spots appearing due to acne or other irritation.
"The vitamin C content in honey has good brightening properties, friends, so there's no mistake, if you want to get a clean face and black spots, use honey or a honey mask," he added.
