Home Remedies for Pigmentation:
Today we will talk
about Pigmentation. Which is also known as brown patches or dark spots.
What is Pigmentation?
These are the black spots on your skin that occur due to an increase in the melanin production in the skin. Melanin is a pigment that helps
u give color to the skin. The more the melanin quantity is, the darker Your skin will
be, the less the melanin is, the lighter will be your skin tone. Pigmentation is not
harmful but it affects your confidence level.
Pigmentation is of 2 types:
1) Hyperpigmentation
2) Hypopigmentation
1)Hyperpigmentation is an increase in the quantity of melanin
production resulting in the blackening of the skin. Hyperpigmentation also occurs
if you are not using sunscreen and your skin is exposed to the sun.
The example of hyperpigmentation is Melasma.
2)Hypopigmentation is the decrease in the quantity of
Melanin. which results in white spots on the skin. whereas hyperpigmentation
results in dark spots.
Reasons behind the Pigmentation:
It may occur due to:
1) Hormonal Imbalance
2) An allergic reaction of some Medicine resulting in
pigmentation
3) Dehydration,
4) Bad Food Choices like sugary items
5) bad carbs
6) Not using sunscreen before going out
Treatment of
Pigmentation:
The treatments Which going to tell you will be home-based
and time taking. as pigmentation does not occur in a single day, hence its
treatment will also take some time to be resolved. Clinically it can be treated
by LASER, CHEMICAL PEELING, or DERMABRASION. which is
expensive and is not affordable for everyone.
So, the home remedies will help in quick results.
The biggest Culprit is "Whitening Creams"
which are full of Steroids. The harmful chemicals in these creams start
"Thinning your Skin", and the time comes when it starts damaging your
skin. hence resulting in brown patches and dark spots on your skin.
So, avoid using these "Whitening Creams" But
Remember, Do not stop using these creams instantly, instead, if you are using
it twice a day, start using it once a day and if you are applying it once a
day, start using it 2 or 3 times a week, and so on.
Do not go out without applying sunscreen on your skin
whatever the weather is. And yes, apply sunscreen at day time, not night time.
Consult your doctor
if some medicine is resulting in pigmentation. Increase your Water Intake, Include
Vegetables and fresh fruits in your food because your internal health is also
important as your external one. If your internal system is full of impurities,
u will never get the results on your external skin. so don't forget to drink
"Detox Water".
I will suggest you Consult your Dermatologist for the
quick results and follow the treatment prescribed by your Dermatologist.
"Dermaroller" is also effective and gives quick
results.
Home remedy to treat Pigmentation:
By using these four ingredients which are easily available
at your home and if not, u may buy them easily.
CASTOR OIL helps to control excess production of Melanin in
your skin results in the removal of pigmentation and dark spots.
The method to use castor oil is, take a little amount of CASTOR
OIL on a cotton bud and apply it on the pigmented or dark-spotted areas in
dabbing motion.
Apply it 2 times in a day and no need to wash it off. The
skin will absorb the Oil and u may see the results in few days.
The 2nd Remedy is "Potato Juice"
Take 1 Potato, grate it and then squeeze it and u will get
potato juice. Take 2tbsp of Potato Juice and 1tsp of Lemon Juice. Mix it well
and apply it once on the pigmented areas or u may apply it on the full face. Leave
it on for 20- 30mins on your skin and wash it off. You have to do this every day
without giving a gap.
Potato juice has got skin lightening properties and it
consists of minerals and vitamins. which removes dark spots, pigmentation, and
blemishes.
The 3rd remedy is "Apple Cider Vinegar" (ACV):
Take 1tbsp of ACV and 2tbsp of water. Mix it well and apply
it on the pigmented areas. Repeat this remedy every day once. U may also put it
in a spray bottle and use it as a toner. Spray this toner on your face and it
will reduce other skin issues as well rather than Pigmentation.
The 4th remedy is the use of "VITAMIN C" & E"
SERUM:
These both serums are very effective for your dark spots,
pigmentation, and skin lightening. I'd recommend you to buy the serum which has
both Vitamin E and Vitamin C. For e.g. the "OZ Naturals" serum has
both Vitamins in it.
But if u don’t have a serum with both vitamins. then simply
take a Vitamin C serum of any brand and apply it on your face and after the
Vitamin C serum absorbs in your skin take Vitamin E oil (EVION) rub it between
your hands and apply it on your face in a dabbing motion.
So, by doing this your skin will get the effects of both Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
