Brilio.net - One of the skin problems that often disturbs the appearance of many people is dull skin. Dull skin is a skin condition that does not look bright or has lost its natural shine.
This condition itself is usually accompanied by the appearance of black spots or known as "ephelis" in the medical world. Black spots can even appear on other parts of the body, such as the arms, chest or neck.
These spots tend to be easy to see and appear easily on people with fair skin color. Black spots are one of the problems with facial skin that people often complain about.
Not only women, men can also experience this problem. In fact, the appearance of black spots occurs because melanin in the skin collects in one area of the face, so it looks like a black spot.
The main factor causing black spots on the face is exposure to direct sunlight on skin that is not protected by sunscreen. Because Indonesia is a tropical country where the sun shines with high intensity every day, black spots on facial skin have a high potential to appear.
Low awareness of using sunscreen is the reason why black spots on the face are difficult to disappear. In fact, applying sunscreen every morning after you have finished applying facial skin care products is very effective in preventing the appearance of black spots. So, if you are already experiencing the problem of black spots, there's no need to worry. Because you can overcome this by using a mask made from natural ingredients.
Don't use turmeric, because there are other ingredients that are no less effective for removing black spots on your face. One of them is like the upload shared by the owner of the TikTok account @shidagoingnatural on July 14 2023.

Apart from being a sweetener, granulated sugar also has various benefits for skin beauty, one of which is the face.

With its many nutritional contents, coffee is able to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and black spots on the face, and no less great is that coffee contains antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols which play a role in protecting the skin from free radicals which trigger signs of aging.
Likewise with milk, which you can also use to treat black spots. Milk contains high protein and has antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties. Thanks to its nutritional content, milk has various health benefits and is often used to treat skin disorders.
