Brilio.net - Having a face that looks youthful and free from signs of aging is still the dream of many people. However, to realize this dream face is not easy. Many factors can make the face susceptible to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Excessive sun exposure, pollution, unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and lack of skin care are some of the main causes of wrinkles. Moreover, as you age, especially after the age of 35, extra skin care is needed. The use of anti-aging products and sunscreen is an important step to protect the skin from further damage.
The main reason behind this is the decrease in collagen and elastin production in the skin as we age. Skin regeneration slows down, reducing the skin's ability to repair itself. This is what causes wrinkles and other signs of aging.
To overcome this, it is important to do facial care early so that at the age of 50, the face still looks youthful. One solution that can be tried is to use natural ingredients.
As shared by the TikTok account owner @diy_bodycare on March 20, 2023, how to keep your face young and free from wrinkles can be done by using cucumber. In addition to cucumber, other ingredients used in this treatment are aloe vera gel and rose water.

Cucumber has long been known as a natural ingredient that is beneficial for facial skin beauty. The antioxidant, vitamin C, and folic acid content in cucumber is very effective in maintaining healthy skin and tightening it, so it can prevent wrinkles.
Aloe vera gel is also popular as a natural ingredient that can overcome wrinkles and keep the face youthful. Thanks to its high content of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, aloe vera gel can increase collagen production, which is important for preventing fine lines and wrinkles. That way, the skin will remain firm and healthy.
Rose water also has similar benefits in reducing wrinkles and keeping the face young. The antioxidant and moisturizing content in rose water plays a role in protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can accelerate skin aging.
