What causes spots?

Five major causes of spots

I heard that sometimes facial spots are caused by the excessive thickness of the stratum corneum of the facial skin, so many people choose to exfoliate frequently, thinking that this will allow the skin to breathe more freely.

The keratin of the skin plays a very important role. It can block sunlight from damaging skin tissue, prevent foreign toxic substances from invading the body, effectively prevent the invasion of some microorganisms and bacteria, and resist external stimuli such as wind, sun, and rain. However, if you exfoliate frequently, it will go against the natural metabolism of the skin. After the skin loses the protection of keratin, it is easy to develop contact dermatitis and the bacterial infection rate will also increase relatively.

Many girls think that using homemade facial masks made of vegetables or fruits to remove freckles is both economical and natural and will not cause any side effects to the skin.

The phenomenon of homemade facial masks is quite common on university campuses. Many people have misunderstandings about this and believe that pure natural fruits and vegetables will not be harmful to the skin. Experts believe that certain foods can indeed have the effect of whitening and removing spots when applied to the face, but the facial skin's ability to resist the external environment will vary in different seasons. Especially when the seasons change, the skin barrier function will be greatly reduced, and skin allergic reactions are more likely to occur at this time.

Myth 3: Whitening and anti-freckle products can quickly remove freckles

To remove freckles, of course you have to use whitening and freckle-removing products. The products in advertisements seem very attractive, so you change bottle after bottle, brand after brand, hoping for a quick-acting whitening and freckle-removing product. You hope your skin can be instantly whitened and freckles can be removed without a trace. It seems that only this level can be considered an effect. Little do you know that this concept is very wrong. It ignores the physiological structure of the skin and often leaves endless hidden dangers. For example, skin replacement, which was once popular, is now regretted by everyone, and the originally healthy skin has been damaged.

Many people believe that all vegetables are good for the skin, and that facial spots are caused by eating too much meat. To remove facial spots, one should eat more vegetables.

Eating more vegetables is indeed helpful to our body, but some vegetables should still be eaten with caution. For example, celery, coriander, white radish, etc. are all "photosensitive" vegetables. These vegetables make skin prone to spots more likely to develop spots. You should eat more vegetables and fruits that inhibit pigmentation and make your skin whiter, such as kiwi, strawberry, tomato, orange, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.
