Brilio.net - Wrinkles and dark spots are unavoidable signs of aging, caused by the decline in body function, including the skin. Over time, the skin loses its ability to produce collagen that maintains moisture, so this problem arises. However, factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and unhealthy lifestyles can accelerate aging through "oxidative stress" that damages skin cells.
Aging is inevitable, but its signs can be delayed by reducing its intensity. Some effective ways include using sunscreen to protect from the sun, facial cleansers to remove dirt and dust, and moisturizers that suit your skin type.
In addition to the methods above, you can also use ingredients that come from natural ingredients, such as green tea and aloe vera as shown by @insidebeautycare on Instagram, reported by briliobeauty.net on Monday (20/1).

Green tea has been widely known for its properties in improving skin health and beauty. Green tea contains high levels of polyphenols, catechins, and antioxidant properties, so it has natural anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. The antioxidant content in green tea helps fight free radicals that damage the skin.
The polyphenol content in green tea helps stimulate collagen production so that skin elasticity and firmness are maintained. Plus, green tea also has anti-inflammatory effects that are useful in reducing redness and irritation on the skin.
