The skin is a part that has an important role, one of which is to protect the body from harmful substances in the environment that can have a bad effect on the inside of the body. However, as we get older, usually the skin begins to experience various kinds of problems. Especially for those who are entering their 40s, complaints in the skin area, especially facial skin, are becoming more common.
One of the most common facial skin problems in your 40s is skin pigmentation. Skin pigmentation is a skin problem that can be seen from the appearance of spots on the skin and causes an uneven skin tone. Usually, the first sign of pigmentation is the appearance of patches on the face in the forehead, nose and cheeks.
This skin pigmentation occurs because the body produces too much melanin or skin pigment which results in an uneven skin tone. Melanin production is triggered by exposure to UVA rays from the sun, environmental pollution, lifestyle, hormonal problems, use of birth control pills, and other health problems. Then, how to overcome it? Come on, do the following methods!
Avoid Sun Exposure
Sunlight is one of the causes of pigmentation problems on the skin, so it's a good idea to try to avoid direct sun exposure. Then, use a sunblock with an SPF of 30 before your activities and apply it at least twice a day. Apart from protecting from sun exposure, the content of sunblocks can also minimize other skin damage.
Consumption of Good Foods for Skin Health
Expanding the consumption of foods that contain antioxidants, vitamin C, and folic acid can keep your skin awake, such as green vegetables, avocados, and citrus fruits. The ingredients in these foods are able to inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme which plays a role in the formation of skin melanin so that it can brighten and reduce skin pigmentation.
Use the Right Products for the Skin
You can treat skin pigmentation with the right products, for example by using a moisturizer that contains glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and retinol, because these ingredients can increase skin cell regeneration. Not only that, you can use products containing AHA, niacinamide , and rosehip oil to treat skin pigmentation. The AHA content is known to help skin regeneration quickly and reduce dark spots, while niacinamide can inhibit melanin production. Then, rosehip oil can correct uneven skin tone while moisturizing and nourishing your skin.
Use Natural Ingredients
For those of you who have sensitive skin, you can use natural ingredients that have benefits for the skin. For example, by applying lime juice to areas experiencing skin pigmentation, because lime contains vitamin C or citric acid which can lighten uneven skin tone.
Apart from lime, potatoes can also be used as another alternative because potatoes are known to be able to get rid of pigmentation problems, such as melasma and dark circles. The way to use it is to stick mashed potatoes on the pigmented area for half an hour. Don't forget to do it regularly so that skin pigmentation fades faster.
Change Your Lifestyle
Lifestyle also plays an important role in maintaining and healing skin problems. Therefore, start changing your lifestyle to be healthier. One of them is by exercising regularly. Then, for those of you who often consume alcohol and nicotine, reduce it from now on, because these two things can accelerate premature aging, trigger wrinkles, and cause blotches on the face.
Also, don't forget to consume nutritious food and mineral water, as well as enough sleep so that the body is healthier and can work more optimally. By doing this lifestyle, the growth and renewal of your skin cells will work faster and more optimally than usual.
