Traditional Chinese medicine believes that age spots in the elderly are formed because the blood circulation and nourishment to the face are obstructed due to weak qi. The recommended treatment is to tonify qi and nourish blood, and activate blood circulation to resolve stasis. Regularly applying a mask of hawthorn and egg white can achieve satisfactory results.
Method: First, wash the face with warm water and dry it. Take 10 grams of fresh hawthorn without the core, mash it, and mix it with egg white to form a paste. Apply a thin layer of the paste on the face, leave it on for 1 hour, and then wash it off. Apply the mask once in the morning and once in the evening. After applying the mask, gently massage the face to help the absorption of the medicinal properties. One month is considered one course of treatment.
Hawthorn has a sour and sweet taste and enters the spleen, stomach, and liver meridians. Its active ingredients can dilate blood vessels and eliminate local stasis. Egg white is rich in various amino acids, which can moisturize the skin and help eliminate skin pigmentation. The combination of hawthorn and egg white applied to the face can effectively improve blood circulation and nourish the skin, making it an effective treatment for age spots.
