Brilio.net - There are many facial skin problems that can make most people less confident. Some of them are a dull face and various signs of aging. A dull face is a condition commonly experienced by the majority of Indonesian people. The reason is, Indonesia has a warm climate with high intensity of sunlight.
High exposure to sunlight can have a negative impact on skin health. Usually skin that is not protected by sunscreen is prone to darkening and dullness. This condition is called hyperpigmentation. Sunlight will trigger the formation of melanin (natural skin pigment) as an effort to protect the skin from the bad effects of sunlight.
This excess melanin will cause dark spots on the surface of the skin. Not only does it cause a dull and dark face, excessive exposure to sunlight also tends to make the skin age quickly. This is because the production of collagen and elastin in skin tissue will be damaged due to sun exposure, so that the skin loses its ability to maintain skin firmness and suppleness.
Other factors that can cause this condition are pollution, weather changes, unhealthy lifestyles and age. As a solution, many people use whitening soap to brighten a dull face. But unfortunately, this product contains chemicals that are dangerous if used for a long time.
Another solution, you can use natural ingredients which are definitely safer. Like the upload from the TikTok account @itsayeshaonline on March 25 2023, which shared tricks for dealing with a dull and aging face with 3 kitchen ingredients. The kitchen ingredients in question are coffee grounds, honey and lemon.

According to Beverly Hills MD Cosmeceuticals, coffee can help treat dark circles under the eyes and reduce hyperpigmentation in other areas of the skin. Not only that, the antioxidants in coffee can also work effectively to prevent a decrease in collagen levels and help increase elastin production.
Meanwhile, honey, which contains vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, amino acids, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus, can be beneficial for the health and beauty of facial skin. Honey will make facial skin feel more moisturized , brighter and more youthful.
