Nowadays, women are very particular about beauty, pursue fashion, and care a lot about their personal image. Everyone knows that fair and tender skin is preferred by women. Everyone wants their skin to be white and tender, but many women find that their skin is darkening in reality. So, what are the reasons for women's dark skin? The main reasons for women's dark skin are as follows. Common causes are: Eat foods rich in zinc, copper, and iron Certain foods are also the cause of darkening of the skin. Foods rich in metal elements such as copper, iron, and zinc have this disadvantage. These metal elements can directly or indirectly increase the amount and activity of substances such as tyrosine and tyrosinase that are related to melanin production. These foods mainly include animal liver, kidney, oysters, shrimp, crab, beans, walnuts, black sesame, raisins, etc. Drugs that are melanin-affinity Many medications also change normal skin color. For example, chloroquine has a strong affinity for melanin, which aggravates skin discoloration; about 10% of patients taking quinine develop blue pigment spots on their faces. Sedatives pose the greatest threat to skin color. Those who take them for a long time will develop butterfly spots on their face and neck, and their arms and other parts will turn brown-gray, light blue or light purple. In addition, repeated use of mercury-containing ointments can also leave brown pigmentation on the affected area. There are more anti-cancer drugs that cause skin color changes. Natural environment damages the skin The culprit is ultraviolet rays, which stimulate melanin in the skin and induce skin lesions such as freckles. Ultraviolet rays can cause skin darkening, aging, and wrinkles. The human skin's response to ultraviolet rays mainly causes skin redness, tanning and increased skin epidermal thickness in acute reactions, while chronic reactions lead to skin aging. In summer, if you want to have fair and flawless skin, you should protect yourself from the sun, especially when the UV index reaches 7 or above. You should pay special attention to sun protection and don't be afraid of trouble and cause regret in the future. Even on a cloudy day, the "ultraviolet rays" are still strong. Humid air, sunlight coming in through car windows, and even indoor light bulbs and computers are all the culprits that cause your skin to darken. What are the reasons for women's dark skin? We have already given you a lot of analysis on the possible reasons that may cause women's skin to darken, and I believe everyone has a certain understanding of it. Environmental factors, dietary factors and drug factors can all cause skin darkening, so if you pay attention to diet and sun protection, you can also avoid skin darkening. |
