Brilio.net - There are various facial problems that are no less disturbing than acne, one of which is black spots. Black spots or what are called ephelis are flat spots on facial skin that are formed due to an increase in melanin or natural skin pigment. However, black spots can also appear on other parts of the body, such as the arms, chest, hands and neck.
These spots tend to be easy to see and appear easily on people who have fair skin. Not only women, men can also experience this skin problem. This skin problem generally arises due to skin aging. It is not surprising that this condition is mostly experienced by people aged 30 years and over.
Apart from aging factors, there are also other influences, namely hormonal changes, sun exposure, certain medical conditions, unhealthy lifestyles, and the use of unsuitable makeup products. Excessive sun exposure will trigger excess melanin production.
Excess melanin production is what causes black-brown spots to appear on the surface of the skin. This condition is also called hyperpigmentation. Apart from making it less smooth, black spots also make the face dull and have an uneven color. To prevent and eliminate black spots, skin care is needed by using various skincare products and using natural ingredients.
Using skincare products to treat black spots is indeed effective, especially if they contain vitamin C and other active substances that can fade black spots. But unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for using skincare products sold on the market. This is because the active ingredients in it often irritate the skin. Especially for those with sensitive skin.
Well, another solution is that you can use natural ingredients. As shared by an Indian woman via her personal TikTok account @skinbrushblush_official on January 8 2024. In the video, she shows how to get rid of black spots using yoghurt mixed with 1 type of fruit peel. The fruit peel in question is orange peel powder.

Yoghurt is a fermented milk product which is usually used as a food ingredient because it tastes good and has many benefits for digestion. Not only is it beneficial for digestion, yogurt also has a multitude of benefits for skin health, so it can be used as an ingredient to care for the skin.
One of the benefits is fading black spots. Apart from being able to reduce wrinkles and eradicate acne, yoghurt is also useful for treating dark spots on the face and making it brighter evenly because it contains various vitamins, zinc and lactic acid. Reporting from Healthline, yogurt can help moisturize and keep skin firm without wrinkles. It's not surprising that many people use yoghurt as an antiaging facial mask.
Why can orange peel fade black spots on the face?
Not much different from the fruit, orange peel is rich in vitamin C, ascorbic acid and antioxidants. Vitamin C contained in orange peel plays an important role in brightening the skin and reducing melanin production which causes black spots.
Meanwhile, the antioxidant content in orange peel is also believed to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and UV rays which can speed up the skin aging process. Even orange peel also has natural exfoliating properties which will make your face look bright and radiant.
