Brilio.net - Wrinkles or wrinkles that occur on the face are a condition where the skin experiences a decrease in the function of its elasticity. This situation causes the face to experience sagging in several parts, including the eye area. This can happen because as a person ages, the skin becomes thinner, drier and lacks moisture. This condition causes fine lines, wrinkles and rough skin texture to appear.
Apart from being caused by natural aging, wrinkles in the eyes can also appear due to excessive exposure to sunlight. It is known that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can damage collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. This condition can speed up the aging process and cause wrinkles around the eyes. Not only that, bad habits such as smoking can also damage collagen and elastin. Damage to these two proteins not only triggers wrinkles, but also makes your skin dull.
Wrinkles in the eyes that are clearly visible sometimes make some people feel inferior. It's not surprising that many of them are looking for ways to disguise wrinkles in their eyes. There are several ways to disguise wrinkles in the eyes, such as applying brightening cream. Unfortunately, continuous use of this lightening cream will waste your wallet.
To save a little, there is an alternative way, namely applying natural ingredients like beauty vlogger @The_Beauty_Box_ does. In uploads on his YouTube channel, he is known to use one kitchen ingredient, namely coconut oil. He combined these ingredients with turmeric powder, coffee and aloe vera gel.
Benefits of natural ingredients to remove wrinkles around the eyes.
Natural ingredients certainly have their own ingredients and benefits for the skin. Reporting from mycocosoul.com, Tuesday (5/3) coconut oil is known to contain vitamin E with antioxidant properties. This content is believed to be able to maintain moisture, overcome dry skin, and fight damage caused by free radicals. So coconut oil can indirectly prevent aging, including wrinkles.
In addition, turmeric can help reduce inflammation around the eyes which can cause wrinkles and help skin look smoother and radiant. The curcumin content in turmeric is claimed to stimulate collagen production.
The caffeine in coffee can help improve blood circulation around the eyes. This ability can help reduce puffy bags under the eyes, as well as minimize wrinkles. The coarse grains of coffee grounds can be used as a natural exfoliating agent to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells.
Meanwhile, aloe vera gel contains lots of water and important nutrients. This can help keep the skin around the eyes moisturized and elastic. Not only that, the presence of anti-inflammatory compounds can help speed up skin healing and reduce inflammation around the eyes.
Can coconut oil brighten the face?
Not only does it prevent aging, coconut oil is now believed to be able to brighten dull skin. The reason is, coconut oil contains saturated fatty acids which are good for the skin, including lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid. These fatty acids help moisturize the skin and maintain natural moisture, which can make the skin look fresher and more radiant.
The antioxidant content contained in vitamin E is claimed to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. You need to know, free radicals can cause premature aging and hyperpigmentation. Well, the antioxidant protection from coconut oil can help brighten and rejuvenate the skin.
