Any kind of spot or a number of spots on the face spoil the personality charm of a woman. Every beauty-conscious woman wants to avoid such beauty-deterrents. The spots are of various kinds like dark spots beneath the eyes, white patches and small-pox spots. The dark rings below the eyes make a woman look older than her age. In this jet set world of today about ninety percent of women suffer from various kinds of tensions which have maximum affect on skin and eyes. Eyes keep sinking everyday and are surrounded by dark circles. Wrinkles appear on them. This blackishness and wrinkles are not confined to eyes only but spread over the entire face making a person look old even in young age.
Now you may question as to why these dark spots and wrinkles appear first around eyes only? The reason is that the skin around eyes is very sensitive and contains a very thin layer of fat. If this fat remains healthy then the eyes do not sink. When the fat gets reduced and becomes dead there is little or no flow of blood in it and the veins cannot hold the eyes at the initial level.
Although, make-up helps in hiding these dark spots to a certain extent, it is necessary to control the psychological factors, so as to cure these permanently. Avoid tensions, increase the intake of vitamin ‘C’, and consult your physician to check the internal disorders, if any. Green vegetables, lemon and orange are very rich in vitamin ‘C’, which purify blood-carrying veins in the body and maintain the natural glow of skin. Women should apply only that much make-up which looks natural to their personality. It is necessary to clean every trace of make-up at night otherwise the pores on the skin get blocked and their activity is stopped. Thus body-waste remain inside and their rotting process makes the skin unattractive.
Do not rub the area around the eyes, because rubbing may result in shrinking of the skin. Use the middle finger of left hand and tap lightly. The skin around the eyes remains healthy by putting a mixture of rose water and cucumber juice in the eyes. You may use anti-wrinkle cream or hormone cream in case of wrinkles or dark spots around your eyes.
Following are few home-made remedy for it:
Boil tea-leaves and strain, foment the area below eyes with this warm decoction.
A light massage by applying almond oil on the skin at night is beneficial. Massage should always be with outward strokes towards temples.
Wrap oat flour and dust of sandalwood in a napkin. Soak it in unheated milk or rose water and rub on the face.
Pock-Marks
A pock-marked face is a curse. Make-up can hide these marks but cannot remove them. There are two ways to remove them permanently:
Sand-paper surgery
Skin-peeling
Sand-paper surgery is generally done in foreign countries. It is not prevalent in India due to its exorbitant cost. The patient has to suffer a lot of pain due to numerous small operations on the skin. These operations should be done only by a specialist. For skin-peeling, many kinds of pastes are appeeled off after application of every paste. The skin gets spotless after repeating the process many a times.
Small-pox spots get reduced with the advancement of age from childhood to adolescence and the growth of body. Women must look after their skin, specially their face. At night, before sleeping use deep cleansing-milk and apply nourishing cream. Facials also reduce these spots. Lanolin cream, which is available in market, also helps in eliminating them. Soyabean paste fills the deep spots. Apply soyabean paste on face. Let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes, then wash it with lukewarm water. This process must be repeated thrice a week.
White spots (leucoderma)
To have white spots or patches on the body is a disease. It is known as leucoderma. This is not a contagious disease. Imbalance of melanin in the body results in appearance of white spots. These white patches are a curse for women. These patches are directly related to the nature of the skin. Darker skins have more patches because such skin carry more melanins. It must be clarified here that white patches are not congenital nor hereditary. Children are not affected if the mother has these patches. It is erroneous to think that a woman having leucoderma, suffers from enjoying marital pleasures.
Generally, doctors recommend a solution of carbolic acid to be applied around the spots to prevent them from spreading. Ayurvedic medical science practitioners recommend bawachi oil massage and in many cases the repeated massaging brings the skin to its normal colouring. Natural therapy can also be used as a remedial measure but it is too costly to be popular in India. Make-up helps in hiding these spots temporarily. Apply ‘foundation’ after thoroughly cleaning the skin, the colour of the ‘foundation’ should be darker than the colour of your skin. Now apply face powder and apply make-up as per your wish. At night it is useful to apply calamine lotion after removing the make-up completely. The spots and the rest of the normal skin should be massaged with calamine lotion. Try homoeopathic medicines by consulting a homoeopathic physician.
