Brilio.net - Everyone definitely wants to have a youthful face, even though they are 65 years old. Unfortunately, desires are sometimes difficult to make come true. As you get older, your skin naturally experiences an aging process in the form of wrinkles. In the aging process, the skin loses moisture and collagen production decreases. This causes fine lines and wrinkles to begin to appear in the area around the eyes and mouth.
The aging process can occur more quickly if it is influenced by poor daily habits and the environment, such as excessive exposure to sunlight. Exposure to UV rays can stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin, which can damage collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin is more susceptible to wrinkles.
Apart from sun exposure, a factor that accelerates aging is smoking. Cigarettes contain chemicals that are believed to damage the skin. The nicotine content in cigarettes can constrict blood vessels, reducing blood flow and nutrients to skin tissue. This can cause the skin to look dull, dry and wrinkled.
Skin changes due to aging cannot be avoided. However, you can prevent the appearance of excess wrinkles by applying a mask made from natural ingredients. This is what a beauty vlogger did who prevented wrinkles using milk, combined with honey and cornstarch.
The combination of the three ingredients above is believed to be able to create a smooth, wrinkle-free face, due to the presence of a number of ingredients. Milk contains lactic acid which can help maintain natural moisture and soften the skin. Meanwhile, the AHA acids contained in milk can help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the regeneration of new cells. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Honey contains various antioxidant compounds that can fight free radical damage and slow down the skin aging process. The antioxidant content can also help prevent or reduce wrinkles. Not only that, honey is known for its ability to moisturize and reduce inflammation.
Meanwhile, corn flour contains B vitamins and minerals, such as zinc. These two ingredients are claimed to be able to help stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells and repair skin damage.

Can milk brighten your face?
Milk is indeed a beverage ingredient that has a number of benefits for the body's health. Apart from making your body fit, milk is also effective in making your skin glow, you know. The reason is, milk contains lactic acid which is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). Lactic acid can help in light exfoliation or peeling of the surface of facial skin by removing dead skin cells. This can help disguise black spots or hyperpigmentation on the skin and make the skin look brighter.
Milk contains enzymes that can inhibit the production of melanin (the pigment that gives skin color). By reducing melanin production, milk can help brighten skin tone and reduce darkness or redness caused by hyperpigmentation. Reporting from hindustantimes.com, Sunday (17/3) the content of vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium and potassium can stimulate new skin cells. So it makes your skin look fresh and glowing.
