Writing also has its downsides. For example, the stains left on the skin. We used to wait for winter to fight them. Now, the new generation treatments allow you to roll up your sleeves before the sun goes down.
Sunspot does not discriminate against skin, age or race and is considered one of the biggest skin problems of the age. Almost all of us have a blemish. Studies say that approximately 4 billion people in the world have blemishes. ”We mostly come for anti-aging. Complaints about blemishes take the second place,” says dermatologists. The sun is the most responsible for stain formation. Hormones, drugs used, our lifestyle and of course the natural process of aging also cause stains. From chemical peeling to waxing, from a slight redness to a simple acne, all kinds of irritation and trauma on the skin can cause stains. After getting out of the pool, many of us lie in the sun without drying our faces. The water droplet already attracts the sun’s rays, acting as a lens. In addition, chemicals in pool water can interact with the sun and trigger the formation of new stains. In the same way, the thermal water sprays we spray for refreshment can also turn into danger under the sun. You see, if we don’t want new spots, protecting your skin under the sun is the first condition. Dermatologists from Anadolu Medical Center are of the opinion that nutrition has also played a role in the increase of skin spots in recent years: “The hormonal foods we consume without realizing it can break the resistance of the skin. In addition, the stress factor that slows down the body mechanism can be an important reason for our staining as soon as we see the sun.
Stained skin is considered aging
Uneven skin color and spots are today considered one of the important signs of premature skin aging. So blemished skin, in a sense, means aged skin. As underlined by world-renowned dermatologist David Orentreich, an even complexion definitely makes you look younger. Spotless skin was perceived as a beauty criterion not only today, but also in the past. While the Chinese used to whiten their skin by applying pearl powder during the Tang dynasty, arsenic was used for this work in the Victorian era. While hydrogen peroxide was the main ingredient in the fight against stains in the early 1900s, it was included in the composition of the strongest stain product known in the 90s. 4 percent, which dermatologists call the golden ratio, gives effective results in spot treatment. Dermatologist complains that hydroquinone is a solution but has many side effects. It is forbidden to use in summer and for more than 6 months. It also increases sensitivity to the sun.” Dermalogica Education Manager says that hydroquinone has whitening properties and it can leave white spots while lightening brown spots on the skin. The cosmetics industry has rolled up its sleeves to find ingredients that are less threatening to skin health. However, it is also a fact that even the simplest product carries the risk of staining if not used correctly on the appropriate skin. That’s why all experts agree on the same issue. Whatever you use, the most guaranteed and effective way to prevent the formation of new spots is mineral-based sun protection.
Sad but true
Just like cellulite, blemishes like women more. Because it is linked to the hormone estrogen. If you take birth control pills, you are at greater risk. “Pregnant women should be extra careful. In any period when your hormones are changing, it is very easy to form mask-like spots called melasma. Worst of all, it is not very easy to treat,” says the dermatologist. The treatment of stains varies according to the type. Those caused by hormones are called melasma, and sun-induced spots are called solar lentigo. The most powerful treatment known for solar lentigo is laser, which can only be applied in winter. The application of nitrogen oxide, known as destruction by cold, is based on the freezing and crusting of spots. The depth of the stain is also an important element in the treatment. ”It can be treated in different ways, from epidermal to IPL laser. However, dermal staining has descended to the lower layer of the skin and is almost impossible to treat, but it can be alleviated,” says the dermatologist.
