Brilio.net - Daki is a term that refers to the accumulation of dead skin cells that do not function and remain attached to the outer layer of the skin. This buildup occurs due to an imperfect skin regeneration process. If not cleaned properly, these dead skin cells can accumulate on the surface of the skin, causing a decrease in brightness and making the face look dull and dirty .
Daki can cause the appearance of less glowing skin because it interacts with pollution and sun exposure. These two factors not only trigger hyperpigmentation, where the skin produces excess melanin, but also cause dead skin cells to absorb the dirt around them.
As a result, the dirt will turn into a blackish gray color, and over time, the skin texture will become rough and dull. However, there is no need to worry because there are natural ways to overcome this problem.
One solution that can be tried is using a mixture of tomatoes and rice flour. This information was shared by Instagram @simmi_bijalwan, as reported by briliobeauty.net on Thursday (9/1). Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant compound that is useful for protecting the skin from damage caused by pollution and other external factors. By using this mixture, dirt can be removed while providing nutrition to the face to make it look brighter.

In addition, tomatoes also contain important components in the form of salicylic acid (BHA) as an effective ingredient in helping exfoliate and control oil production. This makes tomatoes able to lift dirt and grime on the skin effectively and prevent the skin from looking dirty and dull in the process.

Rice flour has gentle exfoliating properties that can absorb excess oil and dirt on the skin, thus brightening the skin in the process. In addition, rice flour is also rich in amino acids, vitamin B, antioxidants that can provide nutrients in brightening the skin tone overall.
Not only that, the phytic acid component in it is also effective in helping to reduce melanin production and smoothing dark skin layers. You can use both of the above ingredients in the following way.
Tools and materials:
1. 1 fresh tomato
