The combination of olive oil and these three ingredients can be made into a face oil.

Brilio.net - Wrinkles on the face occur due to changes in the structure of the skin as we age. The skin itself is made up of collagen and elastin, two important proteins that provide strength and elasticity. Over time, collagen and elastin production decreases, so that the skin loses its firmness, causing fine lines that eventually develop into wrinkles.

In addition to the natural aging process, external factors also play a major role in the formation of wrinkles. Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin's collagen and elastin, causing faster damage to the skin. Pollution and free radicals also accelerate the skin aging process, and trigger the appearance of wrinkles.

Certain lifestyle habits, such as smoking, lack of sleep, and excessive stress, can worsen skin conditions. Smoking can reduce blood flow to the skin, which reduces the oxygen and nutrients that the skin needs to stay healthy. Lack of sleep can also interfere with the skin's regeneration process that normally occurs while we sleep, while stress can increase the production of the hormone cortisol, which contributes to decreased skin elasticity.

To overcome and prevent this condition, most people will use skincare with retinol content in it. Although effective, retinol skincare is usually priced at a high price. For that reason, it is not surprising that some people choose to use natural ingredients to overcome wrinkles on the face.

One of them is like an upload from the TikTok account @bbbeauty46. In the upload, the account owner appears to be using olive oil mixed with 3 ingredients, to tighten wrinkles on the face.

Olive oil can maintain skin firmness due to its rich nutritional content, such as essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and polyphenols that work synergistically to repair and rejuvenate the skin. Essential fatty acids, such as oleic acid, play an important role in maintaining skin moisture, thus preventing dryness that can cause wrinkles and sagging skin.

Vitamin E capsules can help keep skin youthful because of its strong antioxidant content, to fight free radicals that cause skin aging. Vitamin E, as an antioxidant, effectively protects skin cells from damage, thus slowing down the aging process and keeping skin healthy.

Saffron is effective in tightening wrinkles on the face, because it contains antioxidants and essential nutrients that can stimulate skin cell regeneration and increase its elasticity. Saffron is rich in compounds such as crocin and safranal, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.

These compounds help fight free radicals that can damage collagen and elastin. In addition, saffron also has the ability to increase blood circulation to the skin, which supports the delivery of oxygen and nutrients needed to keep skin healthy and firm.

Turmeric powder is effective in keeping skin free from aging due to its curcumin content, an active compound in it that has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin works by fighting free radicals that damage skin cells, as well as helping to repair damage caused by UV exposure, pollution, and other external factors.

By protecting the skin from this damage, turmeric can slow down the aging process and prevent the appearance of signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines.
