Brilio.net - Youth is a time full of enthusiasm, supported by abundant energy and usually prime physical condition. During this period, the body's metabolism works very efficiently, while the process of cell recovery and regeneration takes place quickly. All of these factors provide optimal endurance, allowing many people to carry out daily activities with high intensity .
However, as time goes by, aging becomes inevitable. Its impact is not only felt on the body's energy, but also on the condition of the skin. Skin that was once firm slowly loses its elasticity, while fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear on the face. Although aging is a natural process, there are a number of external factors that can accelerate it, such as excessive sun exposure, smoking, air pollution, stress, lack of sleep, and unhealthy diet. All of these contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, thus triggering premature aging.
No need to worry, because simple steps can help slow down the signs of aging. In addition to implementing a healthy lifestyle, natural ingredients can also be used to care for the skin. One way that can be tried is using a mixture of beetroot, gram flour, lemon, and yogurt.
