Brilio.net - As we age, a person's life journey continues from childhood to adulthood and finally reaches old age. During this process, changes in the body and skin condition will be seen, which is part of aging. Aging not only reduces the efficiency of the body but also affects the appearance of the skin with the appearance of signs such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines.
In the world of beauty, this change is caused by a decrease in collagen production as we age. The decrease in collagen weakens the previously strong skin structure. In addition, the reduction in fat volume in the face causes the face to appear less full, so that the skin loses its firmness and shows signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines.
In addition to natural factors, exposure to sunlight also accelerates skin aging. Ultraviolet (UV) rays, especially UVA, can damage collagen and elastin that maintain the skin's structure. Coupled with environmental pollution, the skin's protective layer is disrupted in carrying out its function, thus accelerating the aging process.
To prevent aging in the skin , apparently you can use various natural ingredients as an alternative way without needing a lot of skincare products. One of them is using a mixture of aloe vera and honey, as shown by @thediyglow05 on Instagram, reported by briliobeauty.net on Sunday (8/12).

The gel in aloe vera contains many beneficial compounds such as vitamins (A, C, and E), minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and polysaccharides. This allows aloe vera to deeply moisturize the skin and stimulate collagen production. Thus, aloe vera can help reduce the appearance of signs of aging and restore lost skin firmness.

Honey is known to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can maintain healthy skin. This is due to the enzyme and antioxidant content in honey which effectively increases skin elasticity and stimulates the growth of new cells. In addition, honey has the ability to provide deep hydration to the skin so that it can slow down the signs of aging.
You can use the two ingredients above in the following way.
Tools and materials: 1. 1/2 tablespoon pure honey
2. 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel
3. Small container
