Brilio.net - As you get older, your body experiences changes, especially the face. The skin on the face can appear a number of signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and skin that begins to sag.

Facial aging can occur because collagen and elastin (maintaining firmness and elasticity) begin to decline. This condition causes the skin to lose firmness and sag. In addition to decreasing collagen and elastin production , aging can also cause a reduction in fat and bone in the face, making the skin look saggy and inelastic.

Apart from that, sagging skin can also occur because rapid weight loss can cause facial skin to become saggy, because the skin does not have enough time to adjust to changes in body shape.

To tighten sagging skin, you need to do regular facial care. One way is to care for your face using a mask made from natural ingredients. Like what the girl with the Instagram account @nayontips did, she used one type of fruit, namely tomatoes, yakult, turmeric and coffee grounds, without mixing egg yolk.

Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals and relieve inflammation of the skin. The vitamin C in tomatoes helps increase collagen production, which is important for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity . The citric acid content in tomatoes helps reduce hyperpigmentation and gives the skin a brighter appearance.

Yakult contains probiotics which can help improve gut health and absorption of nutrients important for healthy skin. Yakult contains various vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, B, C, D, calcium and zinc which are important for maintaining healthy skin and slowing aging.

Turmeric contains the compound curcumin which has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce inflammation of the skin. Turmeric can also help reduce hyperpigmentation and give your skin a brighter, more even appearance.

Meanwhile, coffee grounds can be used as a natural scrub which helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates the regeneration of new skin cells. Massaging with a coffee scrub can help increase blood circulation to the skin, thereby helping to tighten loose skin.

By knowing the benefits of each ingredient, are you interested in tightening sagging skin with this mask? For those of you who are curious, let's look at the information shared by Instagram user @nayontips, Wednesday (1/5).

Can turmeric get rid of acne?

Apart from the benefits mentioned above, turmeric is claimed to be able to get rid of acne. This is because the curcumin compound in turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties which can help relieve inflammation of the skin caused by acne. So it can help reduce redness and swelling of acne.

Turmeric has antimicrobial properties that can help kill acne-causing bacteria, such as Propionibacterium acnes. By reducing the number of bacteria on the skin, turmeric can help prevent new acne from appearing and reduce the risk of infection.

Meanwhile, turmeric contains antioxidants that help fight free radicals and prevent skin damage caused by environmental factors such as pollution and UV rays. Therefore, it can help speed up the acne healing process and prevent new acne from appearing.

On the other hand, even though turmeric has many benefits for skin beauty, the use of this spice needs to be limited. This is so that the yellow color of the turmeric does not stick to the skin.
