In modern society, people's work pressure is increasing, and their bodies are more prone to develop spots. Do you want to know how to remove spots? Do you know why spots appear on the body and what we can do to remove them? What foods can we eat to remove spots? Let's learn about these knowledge together.
Causes of Spots
Internal factors
1. Stress: When people are under stress, adrenaline is secreted to prepare for dealing with the stress.
If stress persists for a long time, the balance of the body's metabolism will be disrupted, the supply of nutrients needed by the skin will slow down, and melanocytes will become active.
2. Hormonal imbalance: The female hormones, estrogen, contained in contraceptives can stimulate melanocytes secretion, leading to uneven spots. Although the spots caused by contraceptives will stop after discontinuation, they will still stay on the skin for a long time.
During pregnancy, spots are more likely to appear from 4-5 months of pregnancy due to the increase in female hormone estrogen. Most of the spots that appear during pregnancy will disappear after childbirth.
However, abnormal metabolism, prolonged exposure to intense ultraviolet rays, and mental stress can deepen spots.
Sometimes, newly formed spots may not disappear after childbirth, so extra attention is needed.
3. Slow metabolism: Spots may appear when the liver's metabolic function is abnormal or when ovarian function declines. This is because when metabolism is not smooth or there is endocrine imbalance, pigment issues worsen.
Constipation can cause spots, which is actually caused by endocrine imbalance leading to allergic constitution. When the body is in an abnormal state, exposure to ultraviolet rays will also accelerate the formation of spots.
4. Incorrect use of cosmetics: Using cosmetics that are not suitable for your skin can cause skin allergies. During treatment, if excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays occurs, the skin will try to resist external invasion.
Melanin pigments will accumulate in areas with inflammation, resulting in pigment deposition issues.
External factors
1. Ultraviolet rays: When exposed to ultraviolet rays, the body produces a lot of melanin pigments in the basal layer to protect the skin. Therefore, to protect the skin, more pigments will accumulate in sensitive areas.
Frequent exposure to intense sunlight not only promotes skin aging but also causes skin disorders such as dark spots and freckles.
2. Poor cleansing habits: Strong cleansing habits can make the skin sensitive, which can stimulate the skin.
When the skin is sensitive, melanocytes will secrete a lot of melanin pigments to protect the skin. When there is an excess of pigments, issues such as spots and blemishes appear.
3. Genetic factors: If parents have spots, the individual is more likely to have them too. This situation can be attributed to genetic factors to some extent.
Therefore, it is important for people, especially older family members, who have spots to avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays, which is one of the important factors to prevent spots.
Spot-removing Medicinal Diet
