Brilio.net - The appearance of black spots or hyperpigmentation on the face is not only caused by exposure to sunlight. Black spots in the form of dark spots can appear due to inflammation, such as acne scars.
When acne becomes inflamed, the body's defense system reacts by producing melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color). Excessive melanin production in inflamed areas can cause hyperpigmentation, or dark spots, on the skin.
Inflamed acne can cause the blood vessels under the skin to burst or become damaged. This condition can cause a red or purple color to newly healed acne, which can then turn into black spots during the healing process.
Usually black spots due to acne appear because they are triggered by the habit of squeezing acne. This causes trauma to the skin around the acne. This trauma can damage skin tissue and cause further inflammation, thereby increasing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Black spots caused by acne scars are quite difficult to remove. Need extra care to get bright skin again. Well, one of the treatments that you can now do to brighten black spots is using a natural mask .
This method is used by the woman who uploaded her trick on the YouTube channel @priyankadiaries. In this short video, he does not use aloe vera. Instead, replace it with rice flour, honey and milk.
Rice flour has a soft texture but is effective as an exfoliating agent. Reporting from healthline.com, Sunday (28/4) helps remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and make the skin look dull, thereby helping fade black spots.
Honey contains natural antimicrobial properties that help clean pores and prevent bacterial infections, which can worsen skin conditions and make acne scars darker. Honey also has natural whitening properties that can help brighten the skin and reduce excessive pigmentation.
Milk contains gentle lactic acid, which is a type of natural AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid). The presence of this content helps in a deeper skin exfoliation process, removes the top layer of skin which contains dark pigmentation and stimulates the regeneration of new skin cells. Milk also contains vitamins and minerals that help repair and maintain healthy skin.

Can milk treat dry skin?
Apart from the benefits above, milk can also treat dry skin. Not only does it have a delicious taste to enjoy, milk contains lactic acid which is good for beautiful skin.
Lactic acid helps gently exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve rough skin texture. This makes the skin look smoother and brighter.
Milk contains fat and protein which can act as a natural moisturizer for the skin. The fat content in milk helps maintain skin moisture and prevents dryness, while the protein helps repair and regenerate skin cells.
