Skin problems are some of the most frequent health problems
people from all over the world have to face. If you are one of those people who
has to find deal with darkening skin and brown spots on some areas of your
body, then you should know how your skin functions in order to find the perfect
remedy for your problem and at the same time to understand which are the best
ways in which you can prevent their apparition.
The first thing you need to know about the skin
color is that it is made up of three main components: melanin, carotene and
blood vessels. Each of these components has a great role in establishing the
skin color of an individual. Thus, the presence of melanin gives skin a darker
tint, the carotene is responsible for offering the skin that yellowish color
specific to the people with Asian ancestors, while the vessels which can be
seen through the skin usually give it the reddish or pinkish nuance. These
components in most of the cases combine, thus resulting the individual’s skin
color.
As you could probably guess, those dark patches of
skin or brown spots you have to deal with are mostly due to the increased
production of melanin. This substance, responsible with skin darkening has also
the role of preventing the UV rays coming from the sun to affect or damage in
any way the layers of skin or the sweat glands. Thus, in case of exposure to
sun, the amount of melanin is increasing, the so called tan appearing. When the
melanin is no longer able to counterbalance the effects of sun, the sunburns
and skin damages appear. Also, because patches of skin respond differently to
sun’s aggression, dark patches or brown spots that will remain permanently on
your skin may appear.
This is why it is highly important to keep your skin
away from the sun rays as much as possible, especially if you have a white type
of skin, as white skin lacks melanin, which makes it more vulnerable to skin
burns and eventually scars which will affect your skin all your life.
