Black spots on the face or ephelis are usually formed due to an increase in melanin or natural pigment in the skin. Dark spots do not only occur on the skin of the face, but also on other areas of the body, such as the chest, arms or neck which are usually exposed to direct sunlight. In people who have white or olive skin color, black spots are more clearly visible than in those who have brown skin color. This condition is completely harmless and painless, but caution still needs to be taken so that it is not confused with other similar skin conditions such as neurofibromatosis (skin tumor) or melanoma (skin cancer). In order to handle it properly, first consider the following five causes of dark spots on the face.
Excessive Sun Exposure
Try to remember again, did you apply sunscreen this morning before doing activities outside the house? Direct exposure to sunlight on your skin can encourage the skin to produce more melanin which then causes lots of dark spots to appear. Not only that, if allowed to drag on, sun exposure can even trigger skin cancer. To avoid this, you should routinely apply sunscreen before carrying out activities outside the home.
Hormonal Changes
During pregnancy, the hormones estrogen and progesterone in women will increase drastically. This then triggers the appearance of dark spots in several areas of the body including the face which are further exacerbated by direct exposure to sunlight. However, if the pregnancy period is over, the mother's skin condition will usually return to normal.
Acne scars
Acne that is not handled properly can leave scars in the form of black spots that are difficult to remove. This is usually caused by the habit of squeezing pimples because they feel they interfere with appearance. To overcome this, you can undergo treatment with skincare that contains vitamin C and kojic acid so that acne scars can disappear.
Mismatched Cosmetics
It is undeniable that the daily use of cosmetics has become a natural thing for women in Indonesia. Unfortunately, some cosmetic brands still contain dangerous ingredients such as mercury. Mercury can indeed brighten the face instantly, but the side effects are very harmful to the skin and can cause lots of dark spots. In addition, some types of cosmetics also cause photosensitivity so that the skin becomes more sensitive and produces excess melanin every time it is exposed to sunlight.
Air pollution
Facial skin that is exposed to air pollution every day is also very susceptible to dark spots. Irritation on facial skin will cause inflammation that damages the skin layer. As a result, melanin production increases continuously and causes blemishes or dark spots in the inflamed areas of the face. Always wear a mask if you are traveling by motorized vehicle to protect yourself from pollution.
Thus the 5 causes of the appearance of black spots on the face. To overcome this, you can do some natural treatments such as routinely using facial masks from lemon juice or aloe vera.
