Brilio.net - Black spots give an unpleasant appearance to the face. Especially when you don't use makeup, black spots are clearly visible. The main cause does not only come from natural aging. But it can occur from premature aging caused by exposure to sunlight.
For information, exposure to sunlight can stimulate the production of melanin (the pigment that gives color to the skin). When the skin is exposed to excessive sunlight, melanin production can increase. Then it causes black spots or dark spots.
Another cause comes from inflammation that occurs in the skin. Usually occurs due to acne scars and wounds. This condition causes excessive melanin production in certain areas. This causes black spots after inflammation occurs.
To prevent the appearance of black spots, you can start by using sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. Use it every day when you leave the room.
If black spots don't go away, you can get rid of them with topical treatments. Use a mask made from natural ingredients, like the woman with the YouTube channel @simpletipsmalayalam does.
In a video upload that lasts a few seconds, he uses bananas , tomato juice and honey, without a mixture of green tea. The reason is that the green tea in this mask is replaced with tomatoes, which both contain antioxidants.
Meanwhile, as reported by bebeautiful.in, Monday (8/4) bananas contain vitamin C which is important for collagen production, so it can help disguise black spots and improve skin texture. The water content in bananas helps moisturize the skin, thereby helping in the healing and regeneration process of the skin.
Meanwhile, tomatoes contain salicylic acid which can help exfoliate the skin. This ability is able to remove dead skin cells which cause dull skin and fade black spots. The lycopene content in tomatoes is claimed to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and helps improve skin pigmentation.
Honey has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that help reduce inflammation of the skin and relieve irritation, thereby helping speed up the healing of black spots. Honey can also help brighten skin naturally and reduce uneven pigmentation.
So how do you make a mask from the ingredients above? For those of you who want to try, let's look at the steps shared by @simpletipsmalayalam, Monday (8/4).

Apart from the benefits above, bananas can also prevent the appearance of fine lines. Bananas contain vitamin C which is important for the production of collagen, a structural protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and suppleness.
The water content in bananas helps moisturize the skin naturally. Well-hydrated skin tends to appear more radiant and fine lines are less visible. Thus, bananas can help reduce the appearance of fine lines by keeping the skin hydrated.
