Brilio.net - Outdoor activities force people to deal with exposure to sunlight and pollution around them. As a result, the skin slowly loses its natural shine, making it look less bright and dirty. Well, this problem is what is then called dull skin .
The sun contains ultraviolet rays which can disrupt the regeneration process of skin cells and increase melanin production quickly. Melanin is the name for the cells that make up the pigment that gives color to the skin. When it is produced in excess, a hyperpigmentation process will occur which causes the skin color to darken , giving a dull impression.
Moreover, combined with pollution, dirt and dust that sticks to it will clearly make the skin dirty. Dirty skin becomes susceptible to damage and can trigger darkening of the skin. So it's not surprising that dull skin makes people feel less confident, because their appearance is less than optimal.
If you face this skin problem, don't worry because you can try a concoction made from natural ingredients as an alternative solution to overcome this problem. One trick to make your face bright without dullness with this natural ingredient is to use beets with rice flour, as reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @hafsa_abdullahh on Tuesday (13/2).

Beetroot is a vegetable with strong antioxidant compounds such as betalain and vitamin C. Reported from the Healthshots page, this antioxidant power can help overcome damage caused by UV rays and inhibit the darkening process that causes skin to look dull.
Apart from that, the iron and vitamin B content in beets also actively works to increase blood circulation to the skin, so that it can support the regeneration of skin cells to become healthier.
What about rice flour?

Meanwhile, rice flour is rich in kojic acid components which can help brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. Similar to beets, rice flour also contains antioxidants which help protect the skin from sun damage and free radicals.
