1, what color is the normal areola?
The normal color of female areola is red or reddish brown. If the color of areola changes, it can prompt some physiological or pathological changes of female endocrine system. Here is a brief introduction to the related knowledge of areola color for your reference.
Areola refers to the dark annular area formed by pigmentation of skin around nipple. Under normal circumstances, the diameter of areola is about 3~6cm. In female adolescence, areola is generally light red in color. During pregnancy and lactation, the color of areola will gradually deepen and appear dark brown.
The dark color of areola is a problem for many women, because pink areola is more attractive to the opposite sex and symbolizes the pure youth of women. In some backward areas, even men judge that women have rich sexual experience because of their darker skin color and larger areola area.
It is scientifically proved that the color of areola has a great relationship with individual pigment precipitation. Some girls' body pigment discharge function is poor, and the color of areola will become darker accordingly, so the color of areola does not fully represent whether women have sexual experience.
In addition, the color of women's postpartum areola deepens and will not fade.
2. Causes of areola blackening
Many women's areola turns black in life. How is this? Here is a detailed introduction to the causes of areola blackening for your reference.
1, pregnant
The change of hormone causes areola to enlarge and turn black at the same time. Even if the postpartum hormones gradually return to normal, the areola size can not be restored to the pre-pregnancy appearance. During pregnancy and after delivery, women's liver constantly dispels fetal toxicity, which leads to the weakening of liver function. Coupled with the influence of hormone balance, melanin increases sharply and precipitates continuously, thus the areola darkens and deepens.
Step 2 bask in the sun
Wearing a bikini with no sunscreen effect makes the fabric more transparent after entering the water, giving the sun a chance to invade the chest. Or like to wear thin and cute clothes, without underwear and sun protection, it will lead to the black areola.
Step 3 wear rough underwear
Rough underwear material, constantly rubbing areola, will also cause melanin precipitation. Girls' luteinizing hormone will be secreted in large quantities every month during menstrual cramps, and melanocytes stimulated by luteinizing hormone will also promote the secretion of black in large quantities, so the areola will turn black and deepen.
4, excessive stimulation
Excessive sexual life, babies sucking breast milk, and like to wipe the body with a sponge brush, improper exfoliation, etc. , will cause melanin precipitation. Because the physiological function of the human body changes after adulthood, human melanocytes are stimulated by luteinizing hormone, which promotes the secretion of melanin in the body, so the areola will gradually deepen from pink to dark brown, and then from dark brown to black.
5. The estrogen level is very high.
Women with high estrogen level will have nipple blackening, areola blackening and labia minora blackening, which is a healthy female feature. After menopause, due to the low level of estrogen, nipples, areola and labia minora will appear pink. Increased melanin, physiological dysfunction, menopausal production function factors, slow metabolism of epidermal cells.
3. What should I do if the areola turns black?
The skin around the areola is delicate and delicate, so you must be careful when choosing it to avoid allergic phenomena caused by choosing inferior areola cream. It is suggested to choose areola cream containing arbutin, rose essence, pomegranate extract and other natural herbs.
1, arbutin
Known as "plant gold", it can quickly and effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in nipple and areola, block the formation of melanin in areola, and accelerate the decomposition and excretion of melanin.
2, rose essence
Promote the local blood circulation of nipple and areola, strengthen microvessels, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, fade the dull color of nipple and areola, and make breasts delicate and smooth.
3. Pomegranate extract
Powerful antioxidant ingredients, promote the metabolism of areola cells, whiten skin, diminish inflammation and shrink pores, and make areola delicate and smooth.
Avoid: Never choose products containing pigments, essences, compounds, heavy metals, hormone kojic acid and salicylic acid, which will seriously harm areola skin.
In addition to the above knowledge about areola, Bian Xiao reminded that areola will also have acne, areola enlargement, long hair and other problems, some of which are physiological and some are pathological. For the sake of health, women must go to the hospital in time after finding abnormal areola to avoid getting worse.
4, areola pink method
After a woman enters a certain sexual life or gives birth to a baby, the nipple and areola will turn from pink to black. Obviously, pink nipples are more attractive, so how to turn the areola from black to pink?
The causes of female areola blackening: due to human body constitution, sucking, pregnancy, age (cell) aging, female hormone secretion, nipple overstimulation and other factors. The areola will gradually turn black and even become bigger.
1. whitening surgery
Because the dark areola is mostly a personal factor, women who undergo laser whitening surgery will generally restore the true color of the areola within 3-6 months. Delaying the black areola, daily maintenance can use substances such as fruit acid, arbutin and vitamin A acid to delay the black time.
2. Whitening products
Applying whitening products containing arbutin, L-C and A acid to areola has nourishing effect, but the whitening effect is limited. In addition, for people whose areola turns black due to changes in hormone secretion after pregnancy and delivery, because melanin precipitates in the dermis, and whitening products are only effective for lightening melanin in the epidermis, it is not effective to apply whitening skin care products on nipples.
Step 3: permanent bleaching
Tattoos are used to turn areola pink. Although the effect will never fade, the red tattoo is difficult to remove. Pink nipples may be difficult to remove once they are tattooed.
Step 4 whiten honey flour
Materials: honey and flour (by weight 1: 3)
Usage: Stir into a mask and apply it evenly to nipple, areola or labia, wash it off after 15 minutes, then apply it with a hot towel several times, each time until the hot towel cools down, and then wipe it with cotton pad, alkaline make-up water or toner, whole skin water or toner after application. Up to 2 times a week, usually 5 or 6 times will have an effect.
