No need to buy expensive skincare products, you can make a more economical serum.

Brilio.net - Wrinkles on the face are lines or folds that form on the skin over time. The process of wrinkle formation begins with a decrease in collagen and elastin production in the skin. Collagen and elastin are important proteins that provide strength, softness, and elasticity to the skin.

As we age, our bodies naturally reduce the production of these two proteins. As a result, the skin loses its ability to stretch and return to its original shape after being subjected to pressure or movement. This causes the skin to become thin and more prone to wrinkling.

There are many factors such as sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and genetic factors that can accelerate the appearance of these signs of aging. While it is impossible to stop the aging process, proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle can help reduce wrinkles and keep your skin looking younger for longer.

It is no wonder that many people are willing to buy expensive skincare to care for their skin, in order to make it stay young. In fact, you can make your own skincare using natural ingredients . As shared by a TikTok user with the account name @aromatalks20.

Lemons and oranges can overcome wrinkles on the face because both are rich in vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant to stimulate collagen production in the skin. By consuming lemons or oranges, or applying their juice directly to the skin, you can give an extra boost to increase collagen production and improve skin structure.

In addition, vitamin C also helps fight free radicals that can damage skin cells, brighten the skin, and reduce signs of aging. The alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) content in oranges and lemons also functions as a natural exfoliator, which helps remove dead skin cells, accelerate cell regeneration, and keep the skin looking fresh and smooth.

Almond oil is known to have various benefits for the skin that can keep the face looking youthful. The main content in almond oil, such as vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, play an important role in maintaining skin health and elasticity. Vitamin E, in particular, is an effective antioxidant against free radicals that can damage skin cells and accelerate aging.

Vitamin E oil is very effective in making the face firm and wrinkle-free because of its rich content of antioxidants, especially tocopherol, which helps protect the skin from free radical damage. In addition, vitamin E also has the ability to increase collagen production, which helps repair the skin's structure and maintain its firmness.
