Who has not woken up one morning and stand in front of the mirror has been a huge zit on any part of your face? Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is crushed to leave no footprint of crime. “However, this decision is usually not as successful, considering the spot that will form and it is not always so easy to erase, especially if the sun or other factors exacerbate their appearance.
The spots that appear on our face are called melasma, and as I said earlier, may be due to many factors such as genetics, sun exposure, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, cosmetics and some drugs that contain toxic agents.
Obviously, to counteract this common problem yet so annoying is necessary to have some treatments, whether home or doctors, but it is best to determine in advance whether they are superficial or deep spots (this is done with a test light Wood ).
In the case of medical treatments, one of the best known is the application of the substance which is called hydroquinone; it inhibits the formation of other stain-causing substances. It can be used by creams or injections, but we must take great city with much to use, since an excess may cause skin cancer.
Likewise, the chemical peel is another good option for addressing the awkward spots, as long as it applies to people with fair skin, as in the case of those dark there is a risk of post-peeling hyper pigmentation that may worsen the appearance of melasma.
But while money together to go to the doctor or if our spots are not deep you can also implement some masks based on natural elements such as:
Mask of lemon and parsley.
Mix two tablespoons of chopped parsley, lemon juice and a tablespoon of sugar and apply the mixture over the freshly washed face. After several applications of stain color will lose considerably
Carrot mask.
Crush a medium-sized carrot, we add a splash of olive oil and two tablespoons of yogurt and get a mixture infallible against stains of the face (if we apply it every day before sleep better.)
Oatmeal mask.
Combine four tablespoons of oatmeal, a tablespoon of honey and lemon juice gradually and not only remove the stains of the face, but also facilitate the removal of pimples and blackheads.
Eye to these treatments work to avoid, among other things, sun exposure and intake of contraceptives that normally exacerbate the problem. Let me know how it went.
