Selfies are a must-have skill for modern women at home. Take a selfie and show off your confident smile to your friends. However, friends with facial blemishes may not feel as confident. In fact, as long as you pay attention to your daily life, you can say goodbye to spots. Is there a more simple and effective way to remove spots than using garlic?
[Method of Removing Spots with Garlic]
1. Select larger garlic cloves or single-headed garlic, peel and wash them.
2. Slice the garlic and let it sit for about 10 minutes to fully release the garlic compounds.
3. Dip the garlic slices in a little saliva and apply them to the age spots, leaving them on for three to five minutes initially.
4. Then rub the garlic slices evenly on your face.
5. Continue rubbing the affected skin until it becomes slightly red and warm.
Chinese medicine believes that garlic contains potent substances such as allicin and garlicin, which have a certain stimulating effect on the skin. Therefore, it should not be used every day, as this can harm the deeper layers of the skin and be detrimental to skin health.
[Garlic Spot-Removing Mask]
Prepare 3 to 5 cloves of garlic, preferably fresh and tender garlic with a lighter spicy taste that won't irritate the eyes and make them uncomfortable when applied to the face.
Use a food processor to crush the garlic into a paste, pour it into a mask bowl, mix it with a small amount of water and mung bean powder, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
[Benefits and Effects of Garlic]
1. Garlic promotes blood circulation and enhances the metabolic function of skin cells.
It removes old cells from the skin, promoting excretion. It is effective against brown spots, small wrinkles, acne, skin allergies, chapped skin, rough skin, frostbite, and skin roughness.
2. While promoting the keratosis effect of the skin, it regulates the cell exchange (renewal effect) of the skin. It is effective against brown spots, small wrinkles, acne, and skin allergies.
3. It restores and whitens brown spots, freckles, and dark spots, achieving a whitening effect.
4. It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that produces melanin, weakens the impact of ultraviolet rays, and improves the skin's resistance to sunlight. It is effective against preventing brown spots, freckles, sunburn, and sun allergies.
[Precautions for Removing Spots with Garlic]
1. Removing spots with garlic has certain limitations, as there are many factors that contribute to the formation of spots. Therefore, not all spots can be removed; some can only be lightened.
2. Garlic only has a certain spot-removing effect. If you want to remove spots, you need to use some spot-removing products and use garlic as a supplement.
3. When using garlic to remove spots, it is important to protect your skin from the sun. Garlic has a certain stimulating effect and promotes skin metabolism. The new skin is thinner and less resistant, so failure to use sunscreen properly can result in tanning and increased spots.
4. Garlic masks should not be used every day as they can be irritating to the facial skin and have a harmful effect.
5. People who are allergic to garlic or cannot tolerate the taste of garlic should not use garlic to remove spots.
