Every woman pursues flawless skin, but lack of sleep and poor diet can cause hormonal imbalances in women, leading to the appearance of pigmentation. Therefore, getting rid of pigmentation becomes their top priority. So what are the effective methods to remove pigmentation? What are the causes of pigmentation on the face? How to prevent pigmentation on the face?
To remove pigmentation on the face, it is necessary to address the root causes. Let's first understand the common causes of pigmentation on the face.
1. Lack of sun protection: Most wrinkles and spots on the skin are caused by aging due to sunlight. UV rays activate melanocytes, and over time, pigmentation forms as the new cells appear on the skin surface. Therefore, it is essential to bring sun umbrellas and hats when going out and diligently protect the skin from the sun.
2. Excessive makeup: Cosmetics with chemicals and metal components have a photosynthetic effect. Some people who use cosmetics with high levels of lead, mercury, or added fragrances are prone to develop dark spots on the skin. Prolonged coverage of the skin with heavy makeup deprives the skin of normal respiration, leading to an unhealthy state.
3. Excessive skin whitening: It is natural for women to desire fair skin, but excessive whitening can harm the skin and increase the chances of developing pigmentation. Excessive whitening involves frequent exfoliation or chemical peels, which removes the epidermal stratum corneum. While some may believe that the more they do, the better the results, it is not the case. The skin becomes more sensitive to light, dry, and susceptible to sunlight, resulting in more severe pigmentation. Whitening is important, but moderation is key!
4. Prolonged exposure to computers: Computer radiation has its drawbacks, including acne, radiation spots, dry and dull skin, decreased vision, and dark circles. However, as our lives and work become increasingly reliant on computers, reducing computer usage time consciously and using radiation-blocking measures are crucial. Applying radiation-blocking sunscreen before makeup can effectively prevent damage from computer radiation, reduce the chances of pigmentation, and keep away freckles and melasma.
Here are some effective methods to remove pigmentation:
1. Cucumber porridge for pigmentation removal:
- Porridge is a favorite food for many people. It is not only easy to make but also has a light taste, which helps with weight loss and beauty.
- This porridge can whiten the skin and effectively remove pigmentation. It is suitable for drinking in the morning and evening. It not only moisturizes the skin but also helps with pigmentation removal and weight loss.
- Cucumbers contain carotene, potassium, vitamins B1, B2, C, carbohydrates, proteins, and nutrients such as mustard, phosphorus, and iron. Regular consumption of cucumber porridge can eliminate freckles and whiten the skin.
2. Kelp and pork trotter soup for pigmentation removal:
- Pork trotters contain a large amount of collagen, which is a treasure for skin vitality and can also lighten pigmentation.
- The recommended daily intake of collagen for three meals is 5000mg. If the intake is lower than this amount, there is a risk of developing wrinkles.
- Kelp contains a high amount of zinc, which can participate in the normal metabolism of the skin, promote the normal differentiation of epidermal cells, reduce the keratinization of hair follicle sebaceous gland ducts, promote smooth pores, and reduce the accumulation of keratin.
3. Egg and rice vinegar for pigmentation removal:
- Wash a fresh egg and soak it in one pound of high-quality rice vinegar. After about a month, the eggshell will dissolve in the vinegar.
- Take one tablespoon of the vinegar and egg mixture with warm water every day. This method has good results in clearing all the spots on the face.
- Note: After the egg is soaked in vinegar for a few days and the eggshell softens, take it out and use the egg white to apply on the pigmented areas. After 15 minutes, wash it off. If done consistently every day, it is said to have better results than expensive spot removal creams.
