Brilio.net - A face that looks youthful and is not eroded by age is the dream of a number of people, including women. But unfortunately, the aging process that occurs naturally cannot be avoided by anyone. However, the appearance of signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines can be slowed down.
Wrinkles are fine lines or folds that appear on the surface of the skin, especially in areas most frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, neck and hands. Usually these signs of aging do not just appear, but are caused by the production of collagen and elastin in the skin which begins to decline.
This condition causes the skin to lose its elasticity and firmness, causing facial skin to develop wrinkles, fine lines and sagging. Of course, the appearance of wrinkles is not only caused by the aging process. Skin aging can occur more quickly if your skin is exposed to sunlight too often.
It is common knowledge that UV rays produced by the sun have the property of damaging collagen and elastin in the skin. This is what makes wrinkles appear faster. Not only sunlight, bad habits, such as smoking, can also damage collagen and cause blood vessels to narrow. This condition can reduce blood flow to the skin and cause wrinkles and even dryness on the face.
So that your facial skin remains youthful, even though you are over 40 years old, you need extra care. Not only using skincare products, you can keep your skin firm and wrinkle-free just by using natural ingredients such as palm fruit.

According to a doctor, Saddam Ismail, who is also active on YouTube, explained that fruit and fruit trees have a number of benefits. The first is to hydrate the body well, so that it can prevent the skin from drying out. The second benefit is that palm fruit can prevent premature aging. You can get this benefit from the galactomannan content which has antiaging properties. This content is useful for inhibiting various signs of aging, including wrinkles and sagging skin.
"This galactomannan is able to inhibit tyrosinase by more than 50%. This tyrosinase has a role in melanin (a substance that provides skin pigment). This galactomannan is able to ward off free radicals, thereby reducing the risk of premature aging," explained Doctor Saddam Ismail, as summarized by briliobeauty.net from his YouTube channel, Monday (19/2).
