Brilio.net - Wrinkles that appear on the hands are a sign of aging that is difficult to avoid. This natural aging occurs as we get older, which causes collagen and elastin production to decrease. This causes the skin to lose its elasticity and become more susceptible to wrinkles.
Not only does it occur due to natural aging, wrinkles can also appear more quickly because the skin is exposed to excessive sunlight. It is common knowledge that the sun contains UV rays. If UV rays hit the skin directly, it can damage collagen and elastin in the skin. This process causes structural damage to the skin and makes wrinkles appear more quickly.
Wrinkles on the hands can also appear due to dry skin conditions . This usually occurs due to lack of skin care, such as not using moisturizer or using sunscreen. To prevent wrinkles on the hands from appearing, many people rely on body lotion. Indeed, body lotion makes your skin smoother and wrinkle-free.
However, continuous use of body lotion can make this product run out quickly. Not only that, the price of body lotion is also getting more expensive. So that your wallet is safe and your body lotion lasts, you can balance it with topical treatments. Just like beauty vlogger Kichi Beauty did.
In uploading videos on his YouTube channel, he uses one type of plant, namely aloe vera gel. Then these ingredients are combined with petroleum jelly, coconut oil, whole milk and baking soda. Aloe vera gel contains a lot of water and substances that help maintain skin moisture, thereby helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The antioxidant content in aloe vera also helps fight free radical damage and stimulates collagen production, which is important for younger, firmer skin.
Petroleum jelly forms a protective layer over the skin, helping maintain the skin's natural moisture and protecting against environmental factors that can accelerate aging . The healing properties of petroleum jelly help reduce irritation and soothe dry skin, and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Coconut oil contains healthy fatty acids that help moisturize and strengthen the skin's protective layer, reducing wrinkles and making skin look younger. The anti-inflammatory properties in coconut oil help reduce inflammation of the skin, which can cause wrinkles.
Meanwhile, the presence of lactic acid in milk helps exfoliate layers of dead skin and stimulates the growth of new cells, helping reduce wrinkles and making skin look brighter. Milk also contains proteins and fats that help maintain skin moisture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Baking soda has exfoliating properties that help remove dead skin cells and keep skin fresh and young. The anti-inflammatory properties of baking soda help reduce redness and irritation.

Aloe vera can make your skin glow.
Not only is it able to treat wrinkles on the hands, aloe vera is also believed to be effective in brightening the skin. Reporting from bebeautiful.in, Friday (19/4) aloe vera contains salicylic acid, which is a natural chemical with effective whitening properties. Salicylic acid can help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells, so the skin looks brighter and radiant.
Additionally, aloe vera gel contains vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps stimulate collagen production and repair skin damage caused by exposure to UV rays and free radicals. So it can help keep skin bright and even.
