Brilio.net - As the body grows and changes roles from children to adults, the intensity of outdoor activities increases sharply without realizing it. Exposure to sunlight and dust pollution becomes a daily companion, which if not faced with adequate protection, can leave dark traces on the skin, namely black spots.
Dark spots are dark spots that appear on the face due to hyperpigmentation, a condition where the skin produces excess melanin. UV rays from the sun are the main trigger, especially when mixed with pollutants that stick to and clog pores. This combination can damage healthy skin cells and cause dark spots that fade the natural charm of the face.
Not only sunlight is the culprit, acne also contributes to skin blemishes. Acne scars, known by the medical term Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), appear as part of the wound healing process due to inflammation. When skin tissue tries to repair itself, excess melanin can also form and cause dark spots that last longer than expected.
But don't worry, not everything has to be treated with expensive chemical creams. There is a natural solution that is no less powerful and pocket-friendly. A mixture of rice flour, honey, and milk can be a simple concoction with extraordinary results. This recipe was shared by beauty creator @.tashaa. and has been reported by briliobeauty.net on Monday (1/1). This combination is believed to help brighten the skin, remove dead cells, and balance melanin production so that the skin is clean and radiant again.
Rice flour contains vitamin B complex, antioxidants, and amino acids, all of which play a vital role in improving skin health. The natural exfoliating properties of rice flour grains make it effective in removing impurities from the skin, which can then make it look brighter. In addition, rice flour also has natural bleaching properties that help reduce blemishes and dark spots on the skin.

Honey is a source of minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants that help maintain healthy skin. The natural softness of honey helps reduce inflammation in the skin and speeds up the healing process, making it useful in preventing hyperpigmentation in the skin. Honey also has alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) components that can stimulate the skin regeneration process and give the impression of a brighter face.

Milk itself is a drink that is rich in lactose and lactic acid. In addition to helping maintain skin moisture, lactic acid also acts as a natural exfoliant that helps remove dark spots and reduce the appearance of dull skin. Plus, the protein and vitamin content in milk is also good for strengthening the facial skin layer from damage caused by acne or sun exposure.
So, you can use the three ingredients above in the following way.
Tools and materials:

1. Put 2 tablespoons of rice flour in a small bowl.
2. Add 1/2 tablespoon of pure honey afterward.
3. Pour 2 tablespoons of pure milk with the two ingredients.
4. Stir all ingredients until well blended.
5. Apply this mixture to a cleansed face as a mask while massaging for a few moments.
6. Leave it for 10-15 minutes, then rinse your face until clean.
7. Use regularly to get maximum results.
1. Don't just rub your skin when exfoliating.
Exfoliating the skin roughly can actually worsen irritation and deepen hyperpigmentation.
2. Avoid instant whitening products that contain mercury.
This content does provide quick results, but can damage the skin layer in the long term.
3. Don't let your face be exposed to sunlight without protection.
Especially after exfoliation or a mask, the skin becomes more sensitive to UV.
4. Stop touching and squeezing pimples carelessly.
This can worsen inflammation and increase the risk of dark marks that are difficult to remove.
5. Don't change products too often
Skin needs time to adapt. Trying new products too often can trigger breakouts and make blemishes more stubborn.
