Brilio.net - Acne and blackheads are common skin problems experienced by many people, especially teenagers and adults. Although usually harmless, the presence of acne and blackheads can affect self-confidence. Acne appears when the skin pores are clogged by oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
This process is often triggered by hormonal changes, especially during puberty, menstruation, or stress. On the other hand, blackheads are a type of acne that occurs when open pores fill with oil and dead cells, which then oxidize and turn black. There are two types of comedones, open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (whiteheads).
Poor skin hygiene, improper use of cosmetic products, and unhealthy diet can also worsen the condition. In addition, the habit of touching the face with dirty hands can also cause a buildup of bacteria, which can worsen acne.
To overcome this, most people will use special skincare that is formulated for acne and blackheads. However, there are also many who actually use natural ingredients, such as those shared by TikTok users with the account name @glowupwithmeem.

Rice content to overcome acne and blackheads on the face.
Rice has been used as a natural skincare ingredient for centuries, especially in Asia. One of the reasons rice is effective in treating acne and blackheads is its ability to absorb excess oil on the skin. Excess oil can clog pores and trigger acne.
In addition, rice is rich in vitamins B and E, which can help improve skin texture and brighten the face. The anti-inflammatory properties of rice also contribute to reducing the redness and irritation that often accompany acne.
The benefits of honey for soothing acne and blackheads.
The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of honey help fight acne-causing bacteria , reduce redness, and treat inflammation that often occurs in acne-prone skin. In addition, honey also has the ability to maintain skin moisture without clogging pores, thus helping to prevent the formation of blackheads.
