I happened to look in the mirror and noticed a blemish on my face that wasn't there before... And it seems to be getting bigger every day!
For women, nothing could be more shocking. So, why does this happen? While blemishes can be caused by various factors such as aging and hormonal imbalances, the most important thing to watch out for is ultraviolet radiation!
When skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, melanocytes, which are pigment cells, are activated first, and they produce "black melanin," which is the source of age spots and freckles.
Normally, this black melanin is expelled along with dead skin cells, but if your skin's metabolism is slow, it can remain in the epidermis.
So that's the true nature of those gloomy sunspots and freckles caused by sun exposure.
In addition, it is known that inflammation of the skin caused by acne, insect bites, burns, etc., can also activate melanocytes and lead to the formation of blemishes.
But there's no need to be pessimistic!
Vitamin C is a prime example of a powerful ally in combating these blemishes and freckles.
When taken orally, vitamin C is known to have the ability to lighten melanin pigment or prevent its production. (See diagram) Additionally, it's a good idea to supplement vitamin C externally by using medicated cosmetics containing vitamin C for targeted, intensive care to prevent blemishes.
