Brilio.net - Clean, bright and even skin is often considered the standard of beauty for a number of people. It's not surprising that many people want to have clean skin and free of black spots. But unfortunately, the problem of black spots or hyperpigmentation can sometimes haunt a number of women. The appearance of black spots on several areas of the face can affect self-confidence and make you feel uncomfortable.
Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, is a condition when an area of skin becomes darker than the surrounding skin color. This condition occurs when skin cells called melanocytes produce excess amounts of melanin (color pigment). Hyperpigmentation can appear in many forms, including spots, blemishes, or larger spots.
The main cause comes from excessive exposure to sunlight which stimulates melanin production by melanocytes, causing the formation of black spots. Especially on skin areas that are easily exposed to direct sunlight, such as the face, arms and neck.
Another cause comes from the skin aging process that occurs with age. In this phase, melanin production in the skin tends to increase, which leads to the appearance of black spots. Skin aging can also make the skin more susceptible to damage from UV exposure.
The main way to prevent black spots is to use sunscreen or sunblock. These two skincare products can protect the skin from sun exposure, thereby preventing the appearance of signs of aging such as black spots.
Apart from sunscreen and sunblock, some people use retinol serum. However, the active ingredient in retinol is sometimes not suitable for all skin types. For this reason, you can also get rid of black spots by applying topical treatments such as masks made from natural ingredients.
Beauty enthusiast named Puspita Kumala also did the same thing. In a short video upload on his Instagram he uses seaweed combined with black seed and pure honey. It is stated that the benefits of the combination of these three ingredients can help moisturize dry skin and remove black spots.
Seaweed, also known as laurel leaves, has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that can care for the skin. Reporting from recorderonline.com, Sunday (12/5) the antioxidant content in seaweed helps fight free radicals and prevents skin damage which can cause black spots. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of seaweed can reduce inflammation of the skin and minimize the risk of acne and black spots caused by bacterial infections.
Face free of black spots and moisturized with honey.
Honey has long been used in skin care because of its antioxidant, antibacterial and humectant (moisturizing) properties. Honey has gentle cleansing properties so it can remove dirt and dead skin cells that clog pores and cause black spots. The humectant content in honey helps maintain moisture which is important for repairing skin damage and minimizing the appearance of dark spots.
Black seed's omega-3 fatty acid content helps brighten black spots.
Habbatussauda seeds or black seeds, are a nutritional source that is rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins which are beneficial for skin health. The anti-inflammatory properties in black seeds can reduce inflammation, reduce redness and irritation associated with black spots. The omega-3 fatty acids in Black Seed seeds will repair skin damage and stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells, which can fade black spots.
By using the ingredients above, your face will be healthy and free of black spots. So how do you make a mask to get rid of black spots? Come on, take a look at the tutorial reported by briliobeauty.net from the Instagram account @puspitakumala, Sunday (12/5).
