Brilio.net - A face that looks bright , fresh, and radiant is the dream of many people. However, a person's natural skin color is greatly influenced by genetic factors. Indonesians generally have brown or dark skin, so the concept of "whitening" the face is more appropriately interpreted as brightening the skin to make it look healthier and not dull.
Dull facial skin can be caused by various factors, such as the accumulation of dead skin cells due to lack of exfoliation. Naturally, the epidermis or skin layer continues to renew its cells every 14-21 days. If dead skin cells are not removed properly, the skin can look darker and less radiant.
Sun exposure also contributes to dull skin. When exposed to direct sunlight, the skin responds by producing more melanin, which makes it appear darker. In addition, air pollution such as vehicle exhaust fumes and other pollutants can clog pores, causing the face to lose its brightness. Other factors such as lack of sleep, stress, and unbalanced nutritional intake can also affect skin health.
To brighten the face, there are several steps that can be taken, such as cleaning the face regularly, using moisturizer, exfoliating, and always applying sunscreen. Some people also choose treatments at beauty clinics. However, not all methods are suitable for every skin type, and can even cause new problems if not appropriate.
As a more natural alternative, ingredients available at home can also be used to care for facial skin. One method shared by the TikTok account @ayur_officialpage on January 17 shows a trick to brighten a dull face using four kitchen ingredients, namely egg yolk, yogurt, honey, and lemon water.
