Brilio.net - Everyone definitely wants to have a face that remains youthful and doesn't change at all when they get older. Unfortunately, this may just be wishful thinking for some people, especially if when they were young they didn't pay enough attention to the health and beauty of their skin. Lack of care makes the skin less hydrated and tends to wrinkle more quickly.
As you age, your skin's ability to retain moisture also decreases. Dry skin is more susceptible to damage and wrinkles. Apart from lack of care, wrinkles on the face can appear due to decreased collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are two important proteins that keep skin firm and elastic.
As we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, causing the skin to lose its firmness and elasticity, making it easier for wrinkles to form. Another factor comes from thinning of the skin layer. You need to know that human skin consists of several layers, including the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer).
Increasing age makes the epidermis layer become thinner and drier. Well, this thinning makes the skin more susceptible to damage and makes it easier for wrinkles to form. Even though wrinkles come from factors related to daily habits and aging, you don't need to worry. You can prevent the appearance of wrinkles on your face by carrying out regular care .
If usually a number of people rely on face lift treatments, now there are treatments that are more pocket friendly, namely using creams made from natural ingredients. Well, the making of this cream was demonstrated by a YouTuber with the YouTube channel @Naturalbeautysecrets. In the video upload which is 8 minutes 12 seconds long, the YouTube channel owner uses rice, milk and olive oil.
Rice is not only used as a staple food, but this source of carbohydrates also has other uses for beautiful skin, one of which is eliminating wrinkles. The reason is, rice contains many antioxidants, such as ferulic acid which helps fight free radicals that cause premature aging.
Rice water is often used to brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation and help even out skin tone. Meanwhile, components in rice such as allantoin have anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe the skin and reduce irritation.
Benefits of milk and olive oil to remove wrinkles
Whole milk is already known as an effective skin care ingredient. The reason is, this pure milk contains lactic acid which is useful as a natural exfoliant. Lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells, stimulates cell regeneration, and makes skin appear smoother. Milk is rich in fat and protein which helps moisturize the skin, keeping it hydrated and supple, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Reporting from healthline.com, milk contains various vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, D and E which are important for healthy skin. These vitamins help repair skin damage and increase collagen production. Milk has calming properties to help reduce inflammation and irritation on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Olive oil contains vitamin E and polyphenols which are powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect the skin from free radical damage and slow the aging process. On the other hand, olive oil is rich in essential fatty acids which help maintain moisture and strengthen the skin's protective layer, so the face remains soft and elastic.
The combination of all these ingredients is able to overcome the problem of wrinkles on the face. For those of you who are curious to try it, let's look at the tutorial below as summarized by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @Naturalbeautysecrets, Thursday (16/5).
