Skin spots may be something that every woman will encounter, especially as they age. Many people try to remove spots by purchasing expensive cosmetics or even undergoing laser spot removal. The effectiveness of these methods may vary. In fact, the best way to remove spots is to identify the cause of the spots and then treat them accordingly.
Today, we will explore the cause of spots and how to get rid of them both internally and externally.
1. The only cause of spots
The appearance of spots is mainly due to an increase in free radicals in the body caused by various factors. When free radicals are stimulated and become more active, they attack the cells in the body, leading to aging and cell death. This process also disrupts the body's metabolism, making it difficult for toxins to be expelled, resulting in the formation of pigmentation and spots. Additionally, the decrease in new cell production caused by metabolic issues is a major factor in maintaining fair skin, removing spots, and retaining elasticity. The speed at which spots fade depends on the rate of new cell growth.
Therefore, to remove spots, we need to reduce the production of free radicals and promote metabolism, detoxification, and the production of new cells.
Factors that increase the activity of free radicals
Genetics is an important factor in the formation of spots, mainly caused by chromosomal problems, which may be related to the seasons and appear symmetrically on the face. This is difficult to change after birth, and most of us nowadays develop spots due to external factors.
1. Endocrine system
Endocrine imbalance is a major factor in the formation of facial spots. When the endocrine system is imbalanced, the body's metabolism is disrupted, preventing the skin from receiving the necessary nutrients in a timely manner, which leads to the activation of pigment cells and the formation of spots.
At the same time, endocrine imbalance stimulates the secretion of melanocytes, resulting in irregular spots.
2. Lifestyle habits
Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, staying up late, eating midnight snacks, and constipation can also disrupt the endocrine system, activate and increase free radicals in the body, and lead to the formation of spots.
3. Ultraviolet radiation
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is also a significant factor in the formation of skin spots. Excessive exposure to sunlight causes the epidermal cells to produce more melanin particles, which serve to protect the skin. However, ultraviolet radiation also intensifies the color of skin spots.
2. Removing spots internally and externally
As mentioned earlier, the main factors contributing to the formation of spots can be categorized into internal and external causes. To remove spots, we can start by addressing these two aspects.
