Brown Skin Spots

Skin color changes occur in all races, brown for Caucasians and white for Africans.

Whether Melasma or Chloasma in younger individuals, especially women, they are almost constant with advancing age.

Specialists in Genetics consider nowadays that there is something real in Bible tales and that for instance, all Humanity proceeds from two individuals.

Some say that Eve was a black woman, while Adam – a white man.

Some evidence indicates that all races proceeded initially from Africa, and that our ancestors belonged to a group of The Big Primates.

After that humanity spread all over Earth, and the skin of those moving to regions with lesser insulation became lighter, while the opposite happened with those exposed to strong sun rays.

Hence, we all possess in our genes some which are dominant, and those determine the color of our skin.

With receding immunity, the recessive ones can prevail. This gives spots on the epidermis.

Melasma and Chloasma in young women are treated efficiently with hormones, estrogens and progesterone, and hence concerns probably a phenomenon due to insufficiency of those.

Immunity is strengthened by those ones, and this is probably lacking in third age.

Here, Antioxidants have been proposed, which a recent article in Dermatology negates.

Personally, I have experienced efficiency of this treatment, but only after years of application of those.

Hence, the non-dominant trait manifests with advancing age, and here, as elsewhere in the body can be applied the saying: “Use it, or lose it!”

The skin has a protective function, not only a mechanical one, but also against sun rays.

Thus, if you never take a sunbath, it decolorates…

You understand, the solution is living nearer to Nature, as our ancestors were doing it.

Besides, sunbaths increase skin metabolism, and the non-dominant trait has a lesser chance to manifest itself.
