Brilio.net - Aging is a natural stage that is inevitable in every human life. This process is characterized by a decrease in skin function and elasticity due to reduced production of collagen and elastin, two important components that maintain skin structure. Common signs of skin aging include the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, aging can occur faster than it should, known as premature aging, which is often triggered by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays and pollution. These two factors not only damage collagen and elastin but also reduce the skin's natural moisture, inhibit cell regeneration, and make the skin look older than its actual age.
To prevent premature aging, natural ingredients can be an effective solution. One way is to use a mixture of potatoes, yogurt, and rice flour, as practiced by @ani_beautydiy on Instagram. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, and antioxidants, which help stimulate collagen production, maintain skin moisture, and fight the effects of free radicals. By routinely using these natural ingredients, the skin can stay healthy and avoid premature aging.
Potatoes are a type of tuber plant that is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, and antioxidants. These components, especially vitamin C, are active ingredients that help stimulate collagen production in the skin. In addition, the vitamin B content and antioxidant compounds in potatoes can also help maintain skin moisture and reduce the negative effects of free radicals on the skin.

Yogurt is a food that contains many lactic acid compounds and probiotics. Lactic acid is a type of natural alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps remove dead skin cells, stimulates new cell regeneration, and disguises fine lines. Meanwhile, the probiotic components in it can improve skin health by keeping the skin moist.

Rice flour has various compound components in the form of vitamin B, vitamin E, and minerals such as selenium and zinc. All of these nutritional contents play an important role in maintaining healthy skin and preventing premature aging. Rice flour also contains kojic acid which can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face, thereby slowing down signs of aging.
