Brilio.net - Hyperpigmentation is a term used to describe skin problems caused by the accumulation of melanin in certain areas. This condition causes some areas of the skin to appear darker than the surrounding skin color. One of the effects that often arise from this hyperpigmentation is the appearance of black spots or blemishes on the face.
The main factor that triggers the appearance of dark spots usually comes from continuous exposure to sunlight and pollution. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, plus dirt that sticks due to pollution, can damage skin cells. This damage then triggers an increase in the production of melanin, a natural pigment that gives color to the skin. When melanin accumulates, the result is dark patches that are visible on the surface of the skin, especially on the face.
However, this problem can actually be overcome in a simple and natural way. As an alternative to commercial skincare products, natural ingredients can be an option. One of them is a mixture of gram flour, turmeric, and milk, as shown by @shrishenanigans1 via Instagram, quoted by briliobeauty.net on Friday (12/20).

Gram flour is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, and protein. Thanks to these contents, gram flour can help lighten the skin slowly by reducing the effects of hyperpigmentation on the outer layer of the skin. In addition, its mild exfoliating properties help remove dead skin cells, making the skin look fresher and brighter.

Turmeric, a spice commonly used in the kitchen, has high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory content, especially curcumin. This compound plays a role in reducing excessive melanin production, so that the skin looks brighter. In addition, turmeric also has antibacterial properties that can fight dirt and pollution that sticks to the skin.

Milk contains lactic acid and casein which are very beneficial for the skin . Lactic acid helps to gently shed dead skin cells without causing irritation, resulting in a brighter skin effect. Meanwhile, the fat content in milk functions to maintain skin moisture and prevent irritation.
