Brilio.net - Young skin tends to be fresh, elastic, and radiant thanks to the high production of collagen and elastin that continuously renew skin tissue. Children, for example, have smooth and even skin texture because this regeneration process is optimal.
However, over time, increased exposure to pollution and sun damages collagen and elastin production, causing the skin to lose its moisture and elasticity. As a result, the skin appears dull and signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear.
Although aging and dull skin are hard to avoid, you can slow it down with natural ingredients that are rich in nutrients. Coffee grounds, aloe vera, and rose water are some options that can help overcome this problem. How to use it was shared by the Instagram account @a_little_corner_of_mine and reported by briliobeauty.net , Tuesday (4/2).

Coffee grounds contain antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid, which help protect the skin from free radical damage. These antioxidants can also stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness. In addition, coffee grounds also have natural exfoliating properties that can help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the regeneration of new cells.

Aloe vera has long been known to be rich in many beneficial compounds, including vitamins (A, C, and E), minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and polysaccharides. Thanks to these contents, aloe vera can deeply hydrate the skin and help reduce fine lines by stimulating collagen production. In addition, the content of these components also makes aloe vera effective in reducing the impression of dullness on the skin.

In addition to its fragrant smell, roses apparently contain many components in the form of vitamins A, C, E, and essential fatty acids.
