Spots

Brown spots on the skin, freckles, or discoloration, these pigment spots are a common problem and if they are not a health hazard, they are sometimes an aesthetic problem for people who have them.

These conditions can affect people of all ages and ethnicities. Fortunately, it is possible to limit their appearance, to remove them or at least to reduce their appearance.

Black, matte and mixed skin is naturally pigmented, very sensitive to external aggressions and cutaneous diseases. The specificity of a black or mixed skin compared to a white skin resides in its high concentration of melanin. Melanin are among the main biological pigments responsible for the coloring of skin, hair and eyes in humans.

Hyperpigmentation, a physiological mechanism, can occur because of different factors:

Acne: it is one of the main causes of facial hyperpigmentation. Each acne pimple is likely to cause a stain, which then disappears in a few months. But when the button has been pressed, crushed or scraped, the stain will be larger, wider, and last longer.

Even the smallest wounds and burns stimulate an overproduction of melanin and naturally cause the appearance of spots.

Some irritating dermatitis like eczema that is manifested by the appearance of plaques and repeated itching will eventually create spots.

Taking medicine during sun exposure. Certain antibiotics such as tetracyclines, or certain oral contraceptives under the combined effect of the sun can cause the appearance of pigment spots on subjects with high skin sensitivity.

In the Black skin, the curly structure of the hair and the regular incarnation of the latter are at the origin of the problems of shaving which often lead to the appearance of the pimples and the spots which darken progressively in the lower face.

The prolonged use of powerful anti-pigments agents (cortisone and hydroquinone) in order to lighten the complexion permanently causes in the medium long term complications: the ocronose. It is responsible for major damage: brown spots, white spots, black grains on the face and is very difficult to treat

To purify skin

For combination or oily skin, the essential ingredient is lemon juice that restores radiance to the complexion.

How to use: mix two tablespoons of pink clay (not green clay, too aggressive) with the juice of half a lemon. Leave for a quarter of an hour before rinsing with clean water.

Another recipe: cook young nettle sprouts and add a few drops of rose water or lemon juice. Let cool before applying the mixture to the skin, avoiding the eye and lips. This recipe works even in hair care on oily hair!

For those whose acne is still a problem, the oatmeal mask is for you! Mix three tablespoons with a little water and apple cider vinegar. Let stand about ten minutes. Rinse with rose water. The result is amazing!

Cosmetic option

Nowadays, many cosmetic creams and anti-stain serums are found in the cosmetic shelves. Exfoliating and anti-pigmenting active ingredients, more or less concentrated, these cosmetics are essential in the treatment of spots and must be used at all stages: in prevention, in treatment for the clearest spots and in addition to an aesthetic treatment. The lightening assets of these cosmetics will reduce the intensity of the pigmentation of the spots, when the other assets will improve the radiance of the complexion.

Note, cosmetics will not completely remove brown spots but will help to fade. For darker spots, more radical options may be considered.
