Many beauty-conscious girls hope to have a fair and spotless face without blemishes or acne. However, not everyone is blessed with flawless skin. So, what can be done? What are some effective methods to remove spots? Does traditional Chinese medicine have any effective remedies for spot removal?
If you want to remove spots, you first need to understand the causes behind their formation. By doing so, you can achieve better results in spot removal. Let's take a look at the reasons behind spot formation!
Internal Factors:
1. Stress
When people experience stress, their bodies produce adrenaline to prepare for dealing with it.
If stress persists for a long time, the balance of the body's metabolism is disrupted, leading to a slow supply of nutrients to the skin. This, in turn, activates melanocytes, resulting in the formation of spots.
2. Hormonal Imbalance
The estrogen hormones present in contraceptive pills stimulate the secretion of melanin cells, causing the formation of uneven spots. Although these spots may stop appearing after discontinuing the use of contraceptive pills, they can still linger on the skin for a long time.
During pregnancy, the increased levels of estrogen hormones in women can lead to the appearance of spots starting from the 4th or 5th month. Most of these spots tend to disappear after childbirth.
However, abnormal metabolism, exposure of the skin to intense ultraviolet rays, and mental stress can all exacerbate the formation of spots. Sometimes, even newly formed spots may not disappear after childbirth, so extra attention is needed.
3. Slow Metabolism
Spot formation can occur when the liver's metabolic function is impaired or when ovarian function declines. This is because an unsmooth metabolism or hormonal imbalance puts the body in a sensitive state, intensifying pigment-related issues.
Constipation can also lead to spot formation, as it is caused by an allergic constitution resulting from hormonal imbalance. When the body is in an abnormal state, exposure to ultraviolet rays can also accelerate spot formation.
4. Incorrect Use of Cosmetics
Using cosmetics that are not suitable for one's skin can cause skin allergies. During the treatment process, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays can lead to the accumulation of melanin pigments in inflamed areas, resulting in pigmentation problems.
Now that you have learned about the internal factors, do you know where your spots come from? If not, let's take a look at the external factors together!
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, in order to shield the skin, more pigments gather in sensitive areas.
Frequent exposure to intense sunlight not only accelerates the aging of the skin but also causes skin disorders such as dark spots and freckles due to pigmentation.
2. Poor Cleansing Habits
Strong cleansing habits can make the skin sensitive, which can lead to self-inflicted skin irritation.
