Brilio.net - Dull and patchy face is a skin problem that often interferes with appearance and self-confidence. This condition is caused by various external and internal factors. From external factors, sunlight is one of the main causes of this problem.
Excessive sun exposure without protection can cause hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Not only that, pollution and dirt can also worsen skin conditions and cause dead skin cells to build up, causing the face to look dull and uneven in color. In addition, unhealthy lifestyles such as lack of sleep, poor diet, and dehydration also contribute to the appearance of dull skin.
Although it can be treated using various skincare products with brightening ingredients, you can also maximize skin care by utilizing natural ingredients.

Tomato content to overcome dull and patchy face.
Tomatoes can overcome dull and uneven skin tone because they are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that fights free radical damage and sun exposure. Lycopene helps reduce excess melanin production, which often causes dark spots and hyperpigmentation. In addition, tomatoes contain vitamin C which can brighten and even out skin tone by inhibiting melanin production.
Benefits of coffee powder to brighten the face.
Coffee powder can brighten the face because it contains caffeine and antioxidants that are effective in fighting free radicals, improving blood circulation, and reducing inflammation. In addition, the gentle exfoliation produced by coffee particles helps remove dead skin cells, evens out skin tone, and improves facial texture, so that the skin looks brighter and cleaner.
