Brilio.net - Black spots , in the medical world called "ephelis," is a skin condition characterized by small dark brown spots. Although more often appearing on the face, black spots can also be found on other parts of the body. Although not a health risk, this skin problem often affects a person's confidence in their appearance.
One of the main causes of the appearance of dark spots on the face is UV rays from the sun. This is because when the skin exposed to sunlight absorbs the UV rays, this will cause the production of melanin as a skin color pigment to increase .
In the process, this accumulation of melanin will result in black spots appearing on the surface of the skin. The more often the face is exposed to sunlight, the greater the level of darkening of the black spots it experiences.
However, you don't need to worry. In addition to diligently using sunscreen as a skin shield, you can also use natural ingredients as an alternative solution if the above problem occurs. You can do this by imitating a simple trick using rice flour and aloe vera as shown by @beauty_n.otes via Instagram.

Rice flour contains many important nutrients such as vitamin B, vitamin E, fiber, and minerals such as magnesium and zinc. These nutrients provide benefits in overcoming dry and dull skin with their respective benefits. Vitamins B and E help increase the production of collagen and elastin, which are important for maintaining skin elasticity.
Fiber helps remove dead skin cells and increases blood circulation in the skin, making the skin look brighter. Meanwhile, magnesium and zinc play an active role in maintaining the balance and moisture of facial skin.

On the other hand, aloe vera is rich in aloin, aloesin, and proteolytic enzymes. Aloin and aloesin help reduce melanin production and help remove dark spots on the skin. In addition, the proteolytic enzymes in aloe vera play an important role in helping to remove dead skin cells naturally, maintain skin moisture, and reduce inflammation. All these benefits make aloe vera effective in helping to make the skin look fresher and brighter.
One of the brands of aloe vera gel with a fairly affordable price is Zoya Aloe Vera. This product contains 97% aloe vera extract to make the skin feel moisturized all day long.
