Brilio.net - Aloe vera and rose water have long been the mainstay natural ingredients in skin care, especially in anti-aging products. Both of these ingredients are known to have moisturizing, soothing properties, and help maintain skin elasticity. It is no wonder that many anti-aging creams utilize a combination of aloe vera and rose water to address signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin that is starting to lose its elasticity.
Aloe vera contains active compounds such as aloin and polysaccharides that help stimulate collagen production, so that the skin remains firm and well hydrated. In addition, aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the skin from irritation, making it healthier and younger looking. With its ability to repair skin cells, aloe vera is an effective ingredient in preventing premature aging.
Meanwhile, rose water acts as a natural toner that refreshes and balances the skin's pH. Its antioxidant and antibacterial compounds help protect the skin from free radicals that can accelerate aging. With the combination of aloe vera and rose water in anti-aging cream, the skin can stay moist, firm, and look more radiant naturally.
But if you have trouble finding the components of the ingredients, there are other ingredients that can be used as alternatives to make anti-aging cream. This ingredient was once used by the owner of the YouTube account Kata Kite through one of the videos uploaded. He admitted that he only used kitchen ingredients to make an anti-aging cream that can overcome wrinkles and lines.
The kitchen ingredients in question are carrots, potatoes, and turmeric. The combination of the three provides effective benefits to overcome signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. The content of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties in these ingredients help maintain skin elasticity and slow down the aging process.
More specifically, carrots contain high beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A is known as one of the main components in anti-aging treatments because it can stimulate collagen production and increase skin cell turnover. In addition, carrots also contain antioxidants that help fight free radicals, prevent skin damage, and make the skin smoother and more radiant.

Meanwhile, potatoes are rich in vitamin C and enzymes that help brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C in potatoes plays a role in the production of collagen, which is important for keeping skin firm and elastic. In addition, the mineral content in potatoes helps maintain skin moisture, so that the skin looks softer and not dry, which often triggers the appearance of fine lines.
On the other hand, turmeric has an active compound called curcumin which is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Curcumin helps reduce inflammation, increase skin elasticity, and improve the texture of aging skin. Its brightening properties also help reduce dark spots due to aging and make the skin look fresher. In addition, turmeric can also help improve blood circulation, which is important for maintaining healthy and supple skin.
To use these ingredients, you can process them in the way that YouTube user Kata Kite does. Here is the review that briliobeauty.net has summarized from the account on Wednesday (12/2).
