However, laboratory tests such as a complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Lyme titer, varicella zoster antibody test, electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and liver function tests may help if another cause of facial weakness is likely
Charring wood reduces the tensile strength of wood fibers, increasing brittleness under tension, therefore making that failure more likely to occur given the same tensile stress
Women may experience pallor, shortness of breath, palpitations, and dizziness
Applying vitamin C to your skin may reduce hyperpigmentation by interfering with an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is responsible for the production of melanin, a natural skin pigment ( Moreover, vitamin C acts as a brightening agent and can reduce the appearance of darkened spots without changing the natural color of your skin ( Some human studies that combine topical vitamin C with iontophoresis an electrical gradient applied to the skin found significant reductions in hyperpigmentation ( Though this method is promising, iontophoresis increases vitamin C absorption into your skin, meaning that topical application of vitamin C alone may not yield the same results ( Furthermore, most related studies use vitamin C in combination with other anti-hyperpigmentation ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids, making it hard to determine the specific effects of the vitamin
