Brilio.net - Several facial skin problems such as acne, dull skin, blackheads, and skin pigmentation are quite disturbing to your appearance. Moreover, pigmentation is a skin problem that is characterized by the appearance of spots or spots on several areas of the face.
This condition can cause skin color to become uneven and appear dull. Usually, the first signs of pigmentation are the appearance of blackish brown spots on the face in the forehead, nose and cheeks.
The problem of black spots is generally triggered by excessive exposure to sunlight. Exposure to UV rays can stimulate melanocyte cells in the skin to produce melanin (skin pigment) as part of the skin's natural protective mechanism. As a result, when the skin is exposed to excessive sunlight, the melanin that is formed will accumulate in the top layer of the skin to become annoying black spots.
Well, black spots themselves usually appear in people who often do outdoor activities. Not only are they exposed to sunlight, their faces also become vulnerable to being covered in sticky pollution. Therefore, it is not surprising that these black spots make the face dark and lose its natural brightness, aka dull.
Of course, it cannot be denied that the problems above can reduce a person's self-confidence. For this reason, the right solution is needed to overcome this, for example by using natural ingredients as an alternative solution.
One way is to use a mixture of roses with rice and aloe vera, as shared by @beautywithsunanda0795 on Instagram, reported by briliobeauty.net on Wednesday (8/5).

Roses have many vitamin components, such as A, C, and E which are beneficial for the skin. The vitamin E in it has antioxidant properties that can fight the effects of free radicals. Meanwhile, vitamin A can stimulate the regeneration process of skin cells which makes the face look brighter. Not only that, the vitamin C in roses helps reduce melanin production, so it is effective in reducing black spots.

Rice itself is actually rich in B complex vitamins, minerals and amino acids which are known to nourish and have a skin brightening effect. The kojic acid content in rice water helps reduce the production of melanin as a pigment which causes hyperpigmentation or blemishes on the skin. Apart from that, rice water also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties so it can help overcome damage caused by free radicals.
Even the ferulic acid and allantoin content in rice is also effective in evening out skin tone and protecting the skin from the bad effects of sunlight, which causes a dull face and the appearance of black spots.
