Brilio.net - Currently, there are many products on the market that contain collagen as the main ingredient. Such as collagen serum, collagen cream, toner, and even masks. Collagen itself is actually a natural component of the skin produced by the body to maintain skin firmness. Apart from collagen, the body also naturally produces elastin which will maintain skin elasticity.
Even though it is already present in body tissues, as a person ages, the production of collagen and elastin will decrease. A decrease in these two components will result in skin aging. Some signs of aging that usually appear due to a decrease in collagen and elastin are wrinkles, fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. This condition usually appears when a person is 30 years or older.
Apart from age, the decrease in collagen in body tissue can also be caused by various external factors. Such as excessive exposure to sunlight, pollution, and unhealthy lifestyles. Some of these factors are also prone to making the skin, especially the face, easily dull and black spots appear.
It's not surprising that most people use skincare containing collagen to keep their skin firm. But unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for using collagen products sold on the market. Some actually experience skin irritation because of the chemical content in it. The solution, you can use natural ingredients to make a firming and brightening facial mask.

Rice is a staple food for Indonesian people which is high in carbohydrates. Even so, rice can also be useful for skin care, you know. One of them is to overcome various signs of skin aging. Reporting from Healthline, rice can repair skin damaged by sunlight. This is thanks to the antioxidant and antiaging content in it.
Apart from that, rice also contains gamma-oryzanol which can protect the skin from exposure to UV rays. The antioxidants in it can inhibit the activity of elastase or an enzyme that damages elastin. Even vitamin E in rice is also believed to be able to stimulate collagen formation. This is what will keep the skin firm. The amino acids contained in rice are also believed to be able to brighten the skin and prevent dull facial skin.
