Drugstore shelves are full of creams with hyaluronic acid, snail slime or retinol – but their prices can be high. However, there is a much cheaper alternative that will effectively deal with facial discoloration. This is a classic pharmacy ointment for discoloration.
While in summer we can enjoy the sun and, as a result, get a tan and radiant complexion, in winter the skin turns pale again, and all discolorations and imperfections become even more visible. Frost, cold winds and dry, heated air coming out of office air conditioners are also not good for the skin. Therefore, in the colder months, it is worth taking extra care of the delicate facial skin.
The appearance of beautiful, smooth and healthy skin is the dream of each of us. Diet and drinking the right amount of water are helpful in maintaining an aesthetic appearance. However, external care also helps to stop time and the effects of free radicals and UV rays. Before you overpay, try a cheap ointment.
Ointment from the pharmacy for discoloration is essential
The basis of a cheap and effective ointment is the feathered plant. This plant is valued not only in Poland, but also in the world, both in medicine and cosmetics. It comes from Madagascar and belongs to the Crassulaceae family, i.e. succulents.
The chemical composition of the plant is very rich. The leaves contain flavonoids, vitamin E and C, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, tannins, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium and iron. The use of juice from the mentioned plant has not only antioxidant, but also antiviral and fungicidal properties.
Research conducted by Indian scientists shows that viviparous herb significantly inhibits the activity of lipid peroxidation, i.e. the oxidation process. This means that the plant has the ability to fight free radicals, thus slowing down the aging process. In pharmacies you can buy ointment containing viviparus, so if you want to maintain a beautiful and young appearance, it is worth going for a little shopping.
Azelaic acid also helps with discoloration
Another option that costs about PLN 15 is a preparation containing azelaic acid. It not only has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties, but also removes discolorations. The preparation is available in various forms and is also recommended for people struggling with acne.
Azelaic acid naturally occurs in grains such as barley, rye and wheat. The strong action of the acid allows you to safely exfoliate the epidermis and remove discolorations, including those caused by acne. It is worth noting, however, that all types of cosmetics and other preparations containing acids require avoiding excessive exposure to the sun.
Therefore, when deciding to use it, you should protect your skin, do not sunbathe, and it is best to perform the treatments in autumn. This way we minimize the risk of irritation.
