Pigmentation spots can generally be divided into three categories: freckles, which are small and usually coffee-colored. Freckles are not innate and are mainly related to sun exposure. They are most likely to occur after excessive sun exposure in the summer, and the color will gradually deepen. Sunspots are mostly caused by ultraviolet radiation. The spots are distributed in patches and become more prominent over time. Melasma, commonly known as liver spots, butterfly spots, or chloasma, has larger areas of spots that are symmetrically distributed. It is mainly caused by hormonal influences, and pregnant women or women taking contraceptive pills are more likely to develop melasma. In general, melasma is a sign of endocrine imbalance or a sign of some kind of disease in the body.
Fruit and Vegetable Juice for Spot Removal
1. Wash fresh spinach, put it in boiling water, blanch for about 2 minutes, remove and drain the water, then soak in cold water for about 2 minutes. Squeeze out the water, cut into sections, add salt and sesame oil, mix well and consume. Recent studies have found that spinach extract can inhibit the deposition of melanin in the skin and has the effect of preventing and treating melasma in women. This may be because spinach contains rich vitamin C, vitamin E, and folic acid.

Vitamins for Spot Removal
The anti-aging and skin-beautifying effects of vitamins in removing pigmentation spots are also remarkable. Vitamin A and vitamin E inhibit the aging of the skin, making it fair, moist, and supple. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can inhibit oxidation and prevent pigment deposition. Therefore, supplementing with vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin C according to seasonal changes can be very helpful in removing spots.
In conclusion, the treatment of skin pigmentation spots should be comprehensive. In addition to the above methods, attention should also be paid to the following aspects: maintaining a regular lifestyle, ensuring sufficient sleep, avoiding sun exposure, consuming less spicy food, maintaining a positive mood, and avoiding impatience and depression.
