You can remove pigmentation on facial skin using Cyperus Rotundus
You can safely remove pigmentation on the face, if you are careful. Creams that lighten skin color are affordable solutions. The care that must be taken has to do with the ingredients.
The effective ingredients inhibit melanin production, because melanin is the compound that creates color in a skin cell. One of the popular solutions to inhibit melanin production is hydroquinone, but the use of creams containing it has been associated with an increased risk of skin cancer.
Due to the risk of cancer, it has been banned by countries of the European Union.
After the ban went into effect, some companies began looking for safer alternatives. One was found in the medicinal plant known as cyperus rotundus.
The cyperus rotundus plant has many common names because it is a ubiquitous weed. It is difficult to kill, due to its numerous tubers, making it a pest to many farmers.
The tubers, which are something like roots, were traditionally used in some countries to reduce bruising and carbuncles. Extracts from the tubers have been shown to act as anti-irritants. When applied to irritated skin, the extract is soothing.
Creams containing a 5% concentration of the extract will remove pigmentation from the facial skin in just a few weeks. The 5% concentration inhibits melanin production by more than 40%. Lower concentrations are less effective.
Spending time in the sun is something that active people enjoy. We know that the sun’s UV rays are necessary for the body to produce vitamin D, an essential antioxidant. But, the sun is responsible for the photoaging of the skin.
Unless you want the skin on your face to look old and wrinkled, you should protect it from sunlight. The best way to do this is with a wide-brimmed hat. The benefits of sunscreens are limited and controversial.
If you successfully remove pigmentation on the skin of the face, you should take special care in protecting it from sunlight. Melanin provides natural protection against UV damage that leads to skin cancer. By inhibiting the production of melanin, you are effectively stripping away the skin’s natural protection.
Some studies indicate that regular use of sunscreen increases a person’s risk of developing the less common and deadlier form of skin cancer; malignant melanoma. It may be that people rely too much on sunscreens and forget to cover up. Don’t make that mistake.
Safe creams designed to remove pigmentation from facial skin are not so easy to find. Look for an antiaging cream that contains cyperus rotundus extract, and remember to evaluate the other ingredients before purchasing.
