Cause

Cause

Studies have shown that there are many causes of facial skin dark spots, which are summarized as follows:

The skin of people's face is exposed to the sun for a long time, especially when it is directly exposed to ultraviolet rays without being covered, and it is easy to cause pigmentation. After using inferior cosmetics or long-term use of cosmetics that are inconsistent with their own skin properties, some people may have allergic reactions or inflammation on their skin, and may also cause pigmentation to form dark spots.

Female endocrine (hormone) disorders, digestive disorders (such as long-term constipation), and liver dysfunction, excessive mental stress, severe sleep deprivation, anemia and other reasons can cause dark spots.

In addition, premature aging of the skin is also one of the important causes of dark spots. The epidermal cells of the face are usually replaced every 25 to 30 days, such as the skin metabolism is strong, even if the pigmentation will disappear naturally with the loss of the stratum corneum in a short period of time. With the increase of age, the skin's metabolism is declining, and the natural repair ability of the skin's stratum corneum is reduced. As a result, the pigmentation of the skin is difficult to subside and becomes dark spots.
