Brilio.net - Have you ever felt that your hands and feet look darker or patchy compared to other parts of your body? This uneven skin tone often makes some people less confident, especially if the difference is quite striking. This phenomenon can occur due to various factors, ranging from sun exposure to daily habits that unknowingly affect skin conditions.
The skin on the hands and feet is more prone to discoloration due to frequent exposure to UV rays without adequate protection. Sunlight can stimulate excessive melanin production, causing hyperpigmentation or darkening in certain areas. In addition, factors such as friction from clothing, hand washing habits, and lack of skin care can also worsen this condition.
Although it may seem trivial, uneven skin tone can be a sign that your skin needs more attention. Fortunately, there are various ways to overcome this problem, from using sunscreen to natural treatments that can help brighten and even out skin tone. One of them is by using a scrub made from natural ingredients , such as granulated sugar.

Granulated sugar is often used as a natural scrub to even out skin tone because its fine grain texture can help the exfoliation process. Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin, which often causes skin to appear dull and uneven. By gently rubbing granulated sugar on the skin, the layer of dead cells can be peeled off, so that new skin regeneration occurs more quickly.
In addition, sugar also contains natural glycolic acid which can help brighten the skin and stimulate collagen production. For maximum results, sugar scrubs are usually mixed with natural moisturizers such as aloe vera to maintain skin moisture and reduce the risk of irritation.
Not only aloe vera, you can also add other ingredients when scrubbing your skin so that the color is more even. To find out more, here is the review that briliobeauty.net has summarized from Instagram @ethnglow on Sunday (6/4).
