Brilio.net - Having a bright and firm face is definitely the dream of every woman. They take care of their skin with various treatments to keep their skin healthy and shining. Sometimes facial problems, namely black spots and wrinkles, sometimes haunt them. Especially for those of you who have entered an age that is vulnerable to signs of aging. Definitely try to keep your face free from black spots and wrinkles.
Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, is a condition where areas of the skin experience increased pigmentation. This causes visible dark spots on the surface of the skin. The causes come from sun exposure, hormonal changes, injury, and aging.
Meanwhile, wrinkles are a natural sign of aging that occurs when the skin loses elasticity and moisture. The causes also come from sun exposure, smoking, lack of skin care, and genetics. To get rid of black spots and wrinkles on your face, you need to protect your skin from sun exposure. Use sunscreen every day and avoid excessive exposure.
Another way to get rid of black spots and wrinkles is to carry out regular maintenance. One of them is using a mask made from natural ingredients. As shared by beauty vlogger @zeelifestyle, she uses strawberries and besan flour to restore her bright and smooth face .
Strawberries contain antioxidants such as vitamin C and ellagic acid. These two ingredients help fight skin damage caused by free radicals and exposure to UV rays, which are the main causes of black spots and wrinkles. The alpha hydroxy acid in strawberries helps reduce melanin production, which can help fade dark spots and even out skin tone.
The rough texture of strawberry seeds can be used as a natural exfoliating agent that helps remove dead skin cells, stimulates the regeneration of new skin cells, and gives the skin a brighter and fresher appearance.
Meanwhile, besan flour has good oil-absorbing properties, making it suitable for oily or combination skin. Excess oil can clog pores and cause the formation of acne or black spots.
Besan flour has a fine texture which is suitable as a natural exfoliant. Regular use of besan flour can help remove dead skin cells, improve blood circulation and freshen the skin. Therefore, flour can be effective in removing black spots and wrinkles directly.
