Brilio.net - Many people want to look young to support their appearance, but aging is a natural process that is inevitable. Over time, the body weakens, energy decreases, and skin that was once supple begins to face problems such as dark spots and sagging.
Factors such as sun exposure, unhealthy lifestyle and diet, stress, and genetic and hormonal changes can accelerate the onset of this problem. These factors trigger the formation of melanin and loss of skin elasticity.
While aging cannot be stopped, the process can be slowed down with proper skin care. In addition to commercial skincare products, natural ingredients can be an alternative, cheap and effective solution to maintain youthful skin.
One way is shown by @missbeautifu1 via Instagram, as reported by briliobeauty.net on Monday (6/1). In the video, the account owner uses rice water as the base ingredient. In addition, there are also other ingredients such as lime peel to support the success of the concoction.
The skin of limes is naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Both of these ingredients actively help stimulate collagen production and fight free radicals. The citric acid in limes also plays a role in the natural exfoliation process, helping to remove dead skin cells that can cause dull skin and dark spots.

Coconut oil itself has natural moisturizing properties that are effective in maintaining skin moisture. The medium chain fatty acid content in coconut oil can also help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, by stimulating the formation of collagen and elastin which can deeply nourish the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and fine lines that appear on the face.
Meanwhile, olive oil is an oil rich in vitamin E and polyphenols which are powerful antioxidant components for the skin. These antioxidants can help fight free radical damage and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, olive oil can also help moisturize and nourish the skin as a whole.

On the other hand, aloe vera is known for its natural moisturizing properties. The gel in aloe vera leaves contains active compounds that can provide hydration and maintain skin elasticity. Aloe vera also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help protect the skin from free radical damage, thus also fighting the signs of aging itself.
