Many female friends, with the growth of the original fair face will leave many marks of the years, beautiful face grow many spots, many people are worried about this, longing for a lot of ways to quickly remove these spots, many spot removal products on the market hot sales, it can be seen, long spots on women's lives how big the impact. So, how are these pesky spots formed?
What are the causes of spots on the face?
Internal factors
1、Stress: When people are under stress, they will secrete adrenaline to prepare for dealing with stress. If one is under stress for a long time, the balance of human metabolism will be disrupted, the supply of nutrients needed by the skin tends to slow down, and pigment mother cells will become active.
2, hormonal imbalance: the female hormone estrogen contained in the pill will stimulate the secretion of mellanin cells and form uneven spots. The spots formed by the pill will stop after the interruption of taking the pill, but they will still stay on the skin for a long time. In pregnancy, due to the increase of female hormone estrogen, spots will easily appear from the 4th to 5th month of pregnancy, and most of the spots that appear at this time will disappear after delivery. However, abnormal metabolism, exposure to strong UV rays and mental stress can deepen the spots. Sometimes the newly grown spots will not disappear after delivery, so you need to pay more attention to them.
3、Slow metabolism: spots will appear when the metabolism of liver is not normal or when the ovarian function is diminished. Poor metabolism or endocrine disorder will aggravate the pigmentation problem when the body is in a sensitive state. Constipation will also form spots, and ultraviolet radiation will also accelerate the formation of spots.
4、Hereditary gene: If there are parents with long spots, the probability of having long spots is very high, which can be judged as the role of hereditary gene to a certain extent. Therefore, especially for those who have long spots in the family, we should pay attention to avoid UV radiation, which is one of the important factors triggering spots. This is a must to prevent blemishes.
External factors
1、Ultraviolet rays: When irradiating ultraviolet rays, the human body will produce a lot of mellanin pigment in the basal layer in order to protect the skin. So in order to protect the skin will gather more pigments in the sensitive parts. Frequent exposure to strong sunlight not only promotes skin aging, but also causes pigmentation skin disorders such as dark spots and freckles.
2, bad cleaning habits: because of strong cleaning habits to make the skin become sensitive, this will stimulate the skin itself. When the skin is sensitive, the human body will secrete a lot of melanin pigment in order to protect the skin, and when there is excess pigment, there are spots, blemishes and other skin pigmentation problems.
3, the wrong use of cosmetics: the use of cosmetics that are not suitable for their skin, resulting in skin allergies, in the process of treatment such as excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, the skin will be in order to resist external aggression, in the inflammatory parts of the collection of mellanin pigment, so that the problem of hyperpigmentation will occur.
However, once freckles appear, they are simply as annoying as flies, and beautiful people often use various methods to linger, so what are the common methods to get rid of freckles and do they work? The drawbacks of traditional whitening and spot removal methods
(1) Whitening and spot removal cosmetics
In a very short period of time, the skin becomes white, but once you stop using them, the skin immediately becomes darker, pigment rebound and wrinkles deepen. The reason is that spot-removing cosmetics often add excessive lead, mercury and other substances toxic to human skin and nervous system, and heavy metal ions such as lead and mercury can act on tyrosinase in the process of melanin production and make it inactive, thus preventing the formation of pigmentation and making the skin white. However, this effect is short-lived, and the final consequence is that tyrosinase still catalyzes the production of melanin without restriction, making the skin darker, pigment rebound, and even the appearance of heavy metal poisoning spots.
(2) Laser cosmetic spot removal
It mainly uses laser treatment instrument to send out specific wavelengths, different wavelengths of laser will be absorbed by special colors or pigments in the skin, and when the pigments are gradually absorbed by the body, the color of the spots will then become lighter. But after all, laser spot removal is a "mandatory spot removal" relying on external force, and it cannot stop the generation of spots from the source.
(3) Fruit acid peeling to remove spots
The fruit acids used are natural acids extracted from fruits. Generally speaking, the low concentration of fruit acids below 10% has a moisturizing effect and can make the skin fine and elastic; the fruit acids above 20% make the outer layer of skin aging cells easy to fall off, while promoting the proliferation of collagen fiber and mucopolysaccharide in the dermis, which can achieve the effect of whitening and removing spots. Fruit acid peeling can remove the spots located in the superficial layer of skin epidermis, but it cannot help pigment spots located in the deeper layer of skin epidermis (basal layer) or dermis. In addition, the use of fruit acid peeling to remove blemishes is extremely demanding, firstly, it requires strict aseptic control; secondly, because of the high concentration of fruit acid, it inevitably hurts the skin stratum corneum, which reduces the skin's ability to resist external aggressions, and also causes excessive loss of skin moisture, which makes it very easy to age.
(3) Dietary treatment to remove spots
In summary, it is best to get rid of spots by improving your body, other methods often treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Experimental studies have shown that the treatment of melasma with the above two kinds of spot removal soup is more effective than taking antioxidants VC and VE alone, with a treatment efficiency of 90%. Here mentioned photosensitive food, what are the photosensitive foods?
Photosensitive foods refer to those foods that can easily cause solar dermatitis. Generally speaking, after digestion and absorption of photosensitive foods, the photosensitive substances contained in them will enter the skin, and if exposed to bright light at this time, they will react with sunlight. This can lead to redness, rashes, and spots on the exposed skin, accompanied by itching, burning or stinging sensations, and also easy to make the skin darker. Some vegetables with high chlorophyll and wild greens (ashwagandha, bitter greens) are photosensitive foods.
Common photosensitizing substances are
1. Photosensitive foods.
Mud snail, ashwagandha, purple clover, snow lettuce, lettuce, fennel, amaranth, capers, celery, radish leaves, spinach, buckwheat, cilantro, saffron grass, rape, mustard, figs, citrus, lemon, mango, pineapple, etc.
2. Photosensitive herbs.
Zhu huang, thorny mustard, antiphlogistic, saxifrage, etc.
3、Photosensitive western medicine

4、Spices in cosmetics
Bergamot oil, lemon oil, sandalwood oil, musk, ambergris, etc.; sunscreen in the shading agent.
Of course, while taking blemish removal soup, you should also eat more food rich in VC and VE. Foods containing more of these two vitamins have been introduced in the previous chapters, so I won't repeat them here.
