Which woman would like a face full of spots and blemishes? Not only for the sake of pleasing others, but also for ourselves, a flawless face is more satisfying to look at. However, it is unfortunate that various factors can ruin the smoothness of our faces. Spots can appear here and there, and even thick concealer cannot save us.
Where do these spots come from?
Spots caused by genetic factors are naturally difficult to combat. It is rare for someone to be able to resist their genes. We can't hope for the spots to decrease as we age, but as long as they don't increase or become darker, we should be grateful.
In addition, spots can come from various sources: neglecting to take care of our skin during pregnancy can lead to melasma; not being careful while traveling can result in sunspots; and as we age, we may develop senile lentigines... Do you think that once we reach old age, it will be the end? There are still age spots waiting for us.
Our lives can be described as a lifelong battle against spots.
Don't treat spots randomly.
How do you deal with spots? Do you wash your face with white vinegar? This is a popular yet ineffective method for spot removal. How many sisters endure the disgusting smell of vinegar and persistently wash their faces, only to find that the spots show no signs of improvement and instead make their skin even more sensitive?
There is also the widely popular method of using lemon water for spot removal. How many beauty enthusiasts drink lemon water every day in the hopes of getting rid of spots? However, the citric acid in lemons can increase stomach acid and is also not good for tooth protection. How many people have found that drinking lemon water not only has minimal effect on their spots, but also causes symptoms such as acid reflux and tooth sensitivity?
Spot removal must listen to traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine research has found that although spots appear on the face, they are usually caused by internal problems in the body (excluding genetic spots). Therefore, simply trying to "wash off" or "apply" spots externally has minimal effect. Even if it is effective, it is only temporary, because treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause will result in the spots quickly returning.
To get rid of spots, we must start from the "root" and focus on internal regulation. Internal regulation for spot removal must follow the advice of traditional Chinese medicine. Here are two traditional Chinese medicine recipes for spot removal:
Simple method: Put 50 grams of coix seed into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water and cook it into coix seed soup. Drink a bowl every day and continue for a month to see the spots start to fade. (Note: Coix seed has a cold nature, so it should be used with caution for people with a cold constitution and pregnant women.)
Effective method: Take 7 grams each of fresh rehmannia and prepared rehmannia, 5 grams each of poria, bupleurum, cortex moutan, and scrophularia, mix them together, and boil them with an appropriate amount of water to make a bowl of soup. Drink it every day. Generally, after half a month, the spots will become lighter and less noticeable.
Spots create a problem for our self-image, and it is understandable that we are eager to get rid of them. However, it is important to use the right methods. The soups made from the above two methods have obvious spot-removing effects, so those troubled by spots may want to give them a try.
