What are the benefits of guava leaves for the face?Guava or psidium guajava is a tropical plant originating from Brazil and has spread to other tropical regions, including Indonesia. Guava has green fruit with white or red flesh that has a sweet and sour taste. Not only is the fruit rich in vitamin C, guava leaves have various benefits for facial skin health, especially in brightening the face and disguising black spots.
The high vitamin C content in guava leaves acts as a natural antioxidant which can inhibit the production of melanin and the pigment that determines skin color. Therefore, guava leaves can help brighten the skin and even out skin tone.
Apart from that, guava leaves are also known to disguise black spots. The flavonoid and carotenoid content in guava leaves can reduce dark spots by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin production.
Furthermore, guava also contains antioxidants and antiseptics which can protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, while its antiseptic properties help eliminate bacteria that cause acne and black spots.
Turmeric is useful for facial beauty. Turmeric contains antioxidants that help fight free radicals that cause dull skin. Apart from that, the curcumin compound in turmeric can also kill acne-causing bacteria. This compound also has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce inflammation of the skin, which can be associated with the formation of black spots, especially if the spots are caused by inflammatory conditions such as acne or eczema.
However, keep in mind that turmeric can leave a yellow color on the skin, especially if used in large quantities. It's best to do a small test first on a small area of skin before applying the turmeric mixture thoroughly.
So, after knowing the benefits of guava leaves and turmeric, it's no surprise that there is a beauty enthusiast who shares how to reduce black spots by using these two natural ingredients.
