Brilio.net - Black spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, is a condition where areas of the skin experience more melanin production than other areas of the skin. This condition is caused by various factors, namely hormonal changes, signs of aging, exposure to UV rays, and skin inflammation. Apart from that, scars and irritation can also trigger the appearance of black spots.
You can prevent the appearance of black spots by using sunscreen. This skincare product is formulated to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight and free radicals. Sunscreen works by coating the skin so that it is not directly exposed to sunlight. That way, this product can minimize the appearance of black spots on the face.
Apart from relying on sunscreen, you can also treat black spots using topical treatments. This method is used by a beauty vlogger named Wulan Husna. In uploading the video on his YouTube channel @wulanhusna, he only used two ingredients, namely powdered milk and granulated sugar. It is known that the capital to make the mask only costs IDR 4,000 to buy milk powder sachets. Even though the price tends to be cheap, this mask is no less effective than skincare products. You can feel the effect when you regularly apply the mask.
Granulated sugar and milk powder each have their own benefits and ingredients for the skin. Powdered milk contains lactic acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), which can help loosen dead skin cells and clean pores. The AHA content helps reduce the possibility of blackhead formation, including black spots. The lactic acid and lactose content in powdered milk can help increase skin cell regeneration, so the skin looks brighter and radiant.
Meanwhile, sugar can be used as a natural exfoliating ingredient which helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. By gently rubbing sugar into your facial skin, you can help cleanse your pores and prevent blockages that can cause the formation of dark spots. Not only that, the exfoliation process using sugar can stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells. That way, your facial skin looks brighter and fresher.

This is because granulated sugar has exfoliating abilities which can stimulate collagen production. Not only that, the ingredients in this drink mixture can also hydrate the skin so that it remains supple and reduces the possibility of facial wrinkles.
