Spots are the enemy of female friends. After the age of 25, many spots suddenly appeared. Some women develop spots after giving birth or experiencing irregular menstruation. In short, there are various types of spots. Are you tired of dealing with them? Don't worry, traditional Chinese medicine teaches you some natural methods to quickly remove spots.
The main reasons for the appearance of spots
1. Hormonal imbalance and menstrual irregularities
Hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, irregular menstrual cycles, and sexual disharmony can cause changes in estrogen levels. Estrogen increases the formation of melanin by lifting the inhibition of glutathione or sulfhydryl groups on tyrosinase, resulting in the formation of spots.
2. Unhealthy lifestyle habits
Stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep can also increase melanin production. People with unstable sleep patterns have poor skin metabolism, which can affect the production of melanin granules. Overconsumption of pigmented foods can also lead to pigment deposition and the formation of dark spots.
3. Gynecological diseases as the root cause
There is a saying that a clean body results in a clean face. Spots are a manifestation of certain functional changes in the body. They can be caused by gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, menstrual irregularities, breast hyperplasia, liver or kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, chronic malnutrition, etc.
4. Prolonged sun exposure and various forms of radiation
Sun exposure is the number one culprit for the appearance of spots. Prolonged sun exposure and strong radiation can accelerate melanin synthesis and lead to pigment deposition and the formation of dark spots. In addition, ultraviolet radiation can change the distribution pattern of melanin granules in keratinocytes, exacerbating the condition of existing spots.
5. Improper use of cosmetics
Nowadays, makeup has become a daily routine for most women. However, if you choose the wrong cosmetics, it can have negative consequences. For example, using expired or low-quality cosmetics can lead to metal poisoning in the skin, such as lead, mercury, or arsenic poisoning.
Traditional Chinese medicine methods to remove spots
