Brilio.net - Generally the cause of striped skin is excessive exposure to sunlight. However, apart from sunlight, another trigger that causes skin to become mottled is damage to collagen in the skin. Collagen is a source of protein, which provides structure and strength to the skin.
Stress and exposure to pollution can damage collagen in the skin. This triggers a decrease in skin elasticity and firmness. Another consequence is that the skin becomes more susceptible to the formation of black spots or also known as spots.
Mottled skin can also occur due to hormonal changes. For example, during pregnancy, melanocyte hormone production increases. This can cause pigmentation and the formation of melanin in some parts of the skin.
Striped skin not only makes you feel uncomfortable but also disturbs your appearance. There are several ways you can do to even out your skin tone, one of which is using a scrub made from natural ingredients.
This step is like what beauty enthusiasts do via the Instagram account @resepzaidulakbar_. In his reels upload, he uses coffee , milk and lime as natural ingredients. These three ingredients are claimed to be able to make spotty skin even and bright again in seven days.

Ground coffee contains caffeine, which can regenerate the structure of blackened skin cells. Not only that, the caffeine content in coffee can protect the skin from exposure to sunlight and free radicals. The antioxidant properties in coffee can remove dirt and dead skin cells. Reporting from Vinmec, Wednesday (3/7) coffee has various nutrients that can hydrate, fade black spots and even out skin tone.
Meanwhile, milk has natural moisturizing properties, so it helps hydrate the skin. The fat and protein content in milk can maintain the skin's moisture balance. When applied to the skin, milk forms a protective layer and makes it more supple.
The anti-inflammatory properties of milk can relieve irritation caused by acne and sunburn on the skin. These anti-inflammatory properties can soothe the skin and speed up wound healing.
