Dealing With Tough To Go Dark Spots
No medicines and no therapies; since I am a common woman, I prefer to keep it as simple as understandable by every one reading it. Dark spots due to ageing, acne or sun can give you a tough fight to deal with. Start with a positive thought that they would disappear but not very soon. Skin has its own process of repair and rejuvenate and it takes time. Meanwhile, you should take steps for dark spot removal and to cease appearance of any further dark spots. Steps that are practical and can be used irrespective of your skin type and location in the world so that the word "Dark" would only keep fitting in the description of your ideal man as "Tall, dark and handsome".
What Causes Dark Spots?
Simply put, the skin pigment called melanin causes dark spots. Melanin is an efficient soldier of our protection army that takes front position to form a layer to protect under lying cells against harmful effects of sun, heat and other pollutants. If we can some how control the melanin, we can have effective solutions to fight dark spots.
My tools to fight dark spots have a very simple approach. I am listing here self tested and proven simple ways that are very logical to deal with nasty dark spots. You can try them safely for effective results.
Cleanser: This need a special place in your daily regime. Cleaning the face with mild face wash would help to keep impurities, excess oil and acne away that can eventually result in dark spots.
Sun block: Oh, so you say you use it every time you go out in sun? That just may not be sufficient. A good sun block is required even when you are not out or even when it is not sunny. This is because sun screens and blocks are good to control the melanin production to work as fast and effective dark spot remover. Use it after shower or after every face wash up.
Exfoliation: You may find many exfoliating products or scrubbers in the market. Choose the one that are based on natural agents like apricot or cucumber for scrubbing away the dead skin and to reveal the new and brighter skin. Exfoliation works excellent for reducing the dark spots and also to reduce acne and pimples.
Caution: exfoliation may make the skin dry and thus, it should be followed with application of moisturizer or moisturizing sun screen.
