Facial blemishes: how to prevent and treat them

At this time of year we spend more time exposed to the sun and the sun’s rayshave a bigger impact on our skin. As a result, facial blemishes appear due to hyperpigmentation of the skin and the skin becomes dehydrated, leading to the appearance of fine expression lines.

Therefore, to protect your skin from the sun and try to avoid any blemishes, it is important to apply sunscreen every day, especially when you go to the beach or the swimming pool. But it is also important to take other steps, such as protecting yourself from the sun’s rays from the inside.

Also, if you already have any blemishes, you should treat them with high-quality products specifically designed for this purpose.

Tips on how to prevent hyperpigmentation

As mentioned above, skin blemishes are caused by hyperpigmentation of the skin. In order to prevent them, it is important to:

• Apply sunscreen with a high protection factor every day.
• Consume antioxidants as they help to prevent photoageing of the skin by combating the oxidative stress caused by free radicals that are triggered by the sun’s rays.
• Keep well hydrated, inside and out. This is essential to prevent the skin from becoming dehydrated and to avoid expression lines, peeling, etc.
• Take natural food supplements with an anti-ageing effect, which protect your skin against UV radiation from the inside. One of the most effective supplements is Keriba Duo because, besides promoting the regeneration of cells in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, it prevents hyperpigmentation and the appearance of blemishes and it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which tighten the skin and prevent wrinkles.

Tips on how to treat facial blemishes

Once the dreaded facial blemishes have appeared, there is no turning back, they must be treated. There are numerous depigmentation methods, ranging from using creams or gels to surgery. However, we are going to recommend some natural remedies to get rid of skin blemishes. These treatments must be applied continually to see results, and should only be appliedat night, as your skin will be more sensitive. Exposure to the sun should also be avoided to prevent any opposite effect on the skin. It is also advisable to continue putting these preventive tips into practice to prevent the appearance of further blemishes.

Natural depigmentation remedies:

• Lemon juice: its citric acid exfoliates the skin, removes dead skin cells and evens skin tone. Apply it with a cotton pad, rubbing it against the blemish for 5 minutes and allowing it to air dry.
• Aloe vera gel: rich in amino acids (valine, phenylalanine, leucine and lignin) that lighten blemishes; apply to the blemishes and rub it in until it is absorbed by the skin, leaving it to act. Repeat daily.
• Onion: especially effective for age spots and for people who are allergic to lemons. Cut a slice of onion and rub it on the spots for five minutes, repeating the process daily.
