Be Careful: Put The Lemons Down
People tend to use lemon on their
face as an alternative option to cure
acne scars/dark spots.
The problem with using lemon and
lime on the face in the Summer
is that it causes something called
phytophotodermatitis and it causes
hyperpigmentation. This happens
because the lemon, the lime and the
reaction to the sun causes permanent
burns, resulting in hyperpigmenta-
tion.
Hair Removal
When it comes to hair removal,
people often choose to thread, wax
and/or shave. The problem with
shaving is that it causes ingrown
hairs. Waxing and threading can
create ingrown hairs as well because
you’re pulling the hair out of the fol-
licle and when the hair tries to grow
back, it grows back under the skin. It
causes hyperpigmentation and the
area around the skin looks dark. One
of the things to consider as you’re
coming toward the Summer would be
laser hair removal. Laser hair removal
provides two benefits: it removes the
hair from the follicles so over time,
the hair will grow back slower and
finer and over time you will not have
growth. Also, if you use the right
kind of laser, it will also treat the dark
areas as well. The skin starts to look
more even.
