Brilio.net - Skin is one of the parts of the body that is most easily exposed to sunlight. When the skin is exposed to sunlight without protection it can cause a number of skin problems, one of which is sunburn and striped skin. UV rays from the sun can have a significant impact on skin health, including the skin of the feet.
Striped leg skin occurs when melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin pigment in the skin, experience excessive stimulation from UV rays. Exposure to UV light causes melanocytes to produce melanin in greater amounts as a form of self-protection from damaging radiation. As a result, the skin of the feet can become dark or mottled.
To deal with patchy skin on your feet, the key is to use sunblock when you leave the house. This sunblock protects the skin from sun exposure. Apart from using sunblock, you can also treat striped feet using a scrub made from natural ingredients.
As did a woman who shared her grooming routine on Instagram. In the video upload, which has been watched by 5.4 million netizens, baking soda, Himalayan salt, turmeric powder, granulated sugar, coffee powder and lime are used.
All of these ingredients have benefits for skin beauty. Reporting from healthline.com, (1/5) baking soda has mild exfoliating properties which can help remove dead skin cells and dirt from the surface of the skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of baking soda can also help reduce inflammation of the skin.
Himalayan salt is rich in minerals and electrolytes that help cleanse and hydrate the skin. Soaking your feet in Himalayan salt water can help reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation.
Turmeric contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances that can help reduce inflammation and brighten the skin. Turmeric also has antibacterial properties which can help cleanse the skin of bacteria and germs.
Granulated sugar can be used as a natural scrub to remove dead skin cells and increase blood circulation. Granulated sugar scrub can also help give the skin of the feet a soft and smooth touch.
Coffee grounds contain caffeine and antioxidants which can help stimulate blood circulation and tighten the skin. Coffee scrubs can also help remove dead skin cells and produce brighter skin.
Limes are rich in vitamin C which can help brighten the skin and reduce excessive melanin production. The acidic properties of lime can also help remove dirt and excess oil from the skin.
