Brilio.net - Uneven skin tone can make your appearance less than optimal, making your face look dull and not smooth. One of the causes is dark spots, which appear due to increased melanin production in the skin due to excessive exposure to sunlight or UV rays.
The risk of dark spots increases if you live in an area with high UV exposure, such as Indonesia. As you age, this risk increases because skin regeneration slows down. Dark spots usually appear on the face, but can also be found on the back of the hands, arms, neck, shoulders, or chest.
Although not dangerous, dark spots can interfere with appearance and reduce self-confidence, especially if they are difficult to remove. Therefore, various methods need to be tried to remove and prevent their reappearance. One method that can be tried is using natural ingredients. Not with rose water, but with spices as shared by the TikTok account @mulabs, namely using turmeric powder and adding honey.
"DIY turmeric and honey face mask to clear dark spots," she wrote as a caption for the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net reported from the TikTok account @mulabs, Saturday (11/30).

This yellow spice that is commonly used as a flavoring and natural coloring turns out to have many benefits for the skin. One of them is removing stubborn black spots. This is because turmeric contains antiradicals and antioxidants to brighten the face. The curcumin content in it can ward off free radicals and black spots.
Honey is also a natural ingredient that you can use to overcome dark spots. This is because honey has natural healing properties consisting of enzymes, antioxidants, and antibacterials that can help cleanse the skin. Honey can also remove dark spots on the skin thanks to the antioxidant content in it which can help regenerate the formation of new skin cells.
