Brilio.net - Sunlight plays an important role in life, from helping the process of photosynthesis in plants to being the main source of vitamin D for humans. Sufficient exposure to sunlight can help the body absorb calcium, strengthen bones, and maintain the immune system. In addition, sunlight is also used for various purposes, such as drying clothes and as a source of electrical energy through solar panels.
However, excessive exposure to sunlight can cause various skin problems. The ultraviolet (UV) rays contained in it can stimulate excess melanin production, causing dark spots, uneven skin tone, and premature aging. If not properly protected, long-term UV exposure can also increase the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, it is important to use protection such as sunscreen, closed clothing, or hats when doing activities in the sun .
To overcome the negative effects of sunlight, some natural ingredients such as aloe vera can be used as skin care. The aloesin content in aloe vera can inhibit excess melanin production and provide a calming effect on irritated skin. With proper care and maximum protection, the benefits of sunlight can still be obtained without causing harmful risks to skin health.
This natural ingredient can be used to support the performance of sunscreen . You can do it by imitating a simple trick as shown by Instagram user @priya.creations09.
