Brilio.net - Acne, or in the medical world known as acne vulgaris, is a skin problem on the face that can happen to anyone. Usually acne is characterized by the appearance of prominent red spots and sometimes contains pus. The appearance of a red face may bother some people.
Not only does it disturb your appearance, acne often triggers pain that makes you uncomfortable. Apart from that, acne also leaves black scars which is often a problem for some people. Talking about acne, this facial problem forms when skin pores are blocked by oil, dead skin cells and dirt.
Oil glands in the skin produce sebum to maintain moisture and protect the skin. When sebum production is excessive, it triggers clogged skin pores. Meanwhile, dead skin cells that are not completely exfoliated can also clog pores. This condition can trigger the propionibacterium acnes bacteria to multiply in the pores.
The propionibacterium acnes bacteria causes inflammation and irritation when acne becomes inflamed. The ongoing inflammation causes the skin to produce excess melanin, causing the acne scar area to become darker than the surrounding skin. Even though it is quite annoying in your daily activities, you can get rid of acne and scars in one way.
As shown by beauty vlogger Tya Gita. By uploading a video on the YouTube channel @tyagitaVOA, he only uses one drink ingredient, namely aloe vera. Aloe vera can be used to remove inflamed acne and its scars. He used the topical treatment for seven days and the results looked better than before.
With this treatment, inflamed acne not only dries up, but also makes facial skin look brighter. Not without reason, aloe vera contains various vitamins, such as vitamins C and E which help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, and prevent the formation of acne scars.
In addition, aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce inflammation and redness due to acne. The antimicrobial properties of aloe vera can help kill acne-causing bacteria, such as propionibacterium acnes. Another ability of aloe vera is that it can stimulate the regeneration of new and healthy skin cells.
This ability can help speed up the healing process and minimize acne scars by encouraging the growth of new skin tissue. For how to make and use it, you can follow the steps shared by YouTube user @tyagitaVOA, as reported by briliobeauty.net on Tuesday (19/3).

Face without signs of aging with aloe vera
Not only is it able to remove acne and scars, aloe vera is also claimed to be able to prevent signs of aging. The reason is, aloe vera contains vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and flavonoids. This antioxidant helps fight free radicals which can damage skin cells and cause premature aging.
By protecting the skin from oxidative damage, aloe vera helps keep the skin young and healthy. Reporting from aloderma.com, aloe vera can stimulate collagen production which is useful for maintaining firmness and elasticity. By increasing collagen production, aloe vera helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
