So you want to have a beautiful, healthy skin without the slightest flaws. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, because often pimples, peeling, and sometimes age spots appear on the skin.
If thorough skin care is provided, then pigmentation can be avoided or at least minimized. One of the best and most universal ways to combat age spots is whitening masks.
What are age spots and what are the causes of their appearance
Pigment spot- This is hyperpigmentation of the skin as a result of the uneven distribution of melanin in the skin. It is because of this that in chaotic places the skin appears darker than on the rest of the body. Also, the formation of pigmentation can be a consequence of pregnancy, manifest during lactation and after reaching the age of 40 due to hormonal surges in the body.
However, before resorting to the use of whitening masks from age spots, it is worth identifying the cause of their formation, because sometimes this can be the cause of a serious malfunction in the body. Also, the causes of the formation of age spots include:
• Diseases of the liver, kidneys, digestive tract and genitals.
• Abnormal thyroid function.
• A lack of folic acid and vitamins of group C.
• Staying in the sun for a long period of time.
• Irritating body reaction.
Rules for the use of whitening masks from age spots:
A whitening mask from age spots is a universal and fairly budgetary way to cope with such a lack of skin.
However, for this procedure to be as effective as possible, it must be carried out correctly:
• One of the main rules for an effective result of a whitening mask is the systematic procedure: ideally, it is necessary to make a mask every other day. A full face whitening course consists of 15 procedures. Sometimes, to achieve the effect, up to 20 procedures may be required.
• The mask should be applied only to a cleaned, scrubbed face, when the pores are as open as possible and ready for external exposure.
• Be sure to avoid the skin under the eyes, as it is especially gentle in the eye area and is difficult to recover from damage.
• The bleaching mask from age spots should be kept on the face for no more than 15-20 minutes, then it must be washed off with purified water.
• The mask must be applied pointwise, that is, if a spot appears on the cheek, then apply only to the place of appearance, do not apply the mask to the entire face.
• After using the mask, you can wipe your face with an ice cube, giving a soothing effect to the skin.
