Dull skin and full of black spots is a major problem that often hinders a number of people from appearing glowing. This is usually caused by a number of factors, one factor that is a problem for everyone is excessive exposure to sunlight.
It is common knowledge that sunlight is the main source of the vitamin D stimulation process for the human body. This is because exposure to sunlight can trigger the production of vitamin D in the body as a component that helps absorb calcium and maintain healthy bones. As a result, the human body becomes healthier because the bones and immune system are maintained.
Even though it has many benefits, in fact sunlight is also the main cause of many human skin problems. One of them is the appearance of black spots and dullness on the skin .
Black spots is a term for the appearance of dark spots on the skin. Meanwhile, dull skin is the term for skin that has lost its natural shine so it doesn't look bright.
Both black spots and dull skin problems are the result of the skin hyperpigmentation process which is characterized by the process of melanin buildup. Exposure to UV rays from the sun itself is closely related to this problem, because these rays can stimulate the accelerated production of melanocyte cells in the skin to form melanin.
This causes skin pigment to accumulate in areas exposed to sunlight, forming black spots and making facial skin appear dirty.
However, you don't need to worry. The reason is, you can use natural ingredients as an alternative solution to overcome the problem of dull skin and black spots due to pigmentation.
One way is to use a mixture of milk and honey, as reported by briliobeauty.net from @rupalichouhan_19 on Instagram on Friday (29/9).

Milk is a nutritious drink that has many benefits not only when drunk, but also as skin care. Milk contains lactic acid, a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps gently remove layers of dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new skin cells.
This content makes milk effective in helping to even out skin tone, thereby reducing the appearance of black spots and brightening the face from a dull impression.
