Brilio.net - Skin beauty is often a major concern for many people. However, as a person ages, the skin experiences various problems such as fine lines and dark spots. Although fine lines and dark spots are often considered a natural aging process, there are actually various factors that cause these two signs of aging to appear .
As we age, the skin loses moisture and elasticity, causing fine lines to appear, especially in areas frequently exposed to sunlight. UV rays from the sun not only trigger fine lines, but excessive exposure can damage the skin structure and trigger melanin production. This condition causes black spots or hyperpigmentation to appear.
Another cause comes from daily habits, namely smoking. Smoking can damage the skin because of the toxic chemicals contained in cigarette smoke. Smoking can also reduce blood flow to the skin, which can cause the skin to look dull and fine lines to appear. There are several ways you can do so that fine lines and black spots are hidden from the surface of your face.
Start doing beauty treatments at the clinic and using antiaging cream. These two methods are fast for disguising fine lines and black spots, but they require quite a lot of money in your pocket. As a solution, you can disguise fine lines and black spots using topical methods, such as masks .
This method was also shared by the owner of the YouTube channel @Prakriti-DeepaSahni which uses beetroot fruit combined with besan flour and curd. Beetroot is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which are very good for skin health. Reporting from bebeautiful.in, the antioxidant content such as vitamin C and betalain in beetroot helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals that cause premature aging and the appearance of fine lines.
Meanwhile, the natural pigments contained in beetroot can help disguise black spots and hyperpigmentation, as well as give the skin a brighter and more even appearance. Meanwhile, curd or yogurt contains lactic acid, probiotics and vitamins which are beneficial for skin health. This natural ingredient can be used as an exfoliant because of the presence of lactic acid.
This content helps disguise fine lines and even out skin texture. The fatty acid content in curd helps maintain skin moisture, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by dry skin. Besan flour is a natural ingredient that is often used in skin beauty treatments in India.
Its soft texture makes besan flour effective as a natural scrub. Using besan flour as a scrub can help remove dead skin cells and make the skin smoother. The anti-inflammatory content in besan flour can help reduce redness and inflammation on the skin, thereby helping to disguise black spots and make the skin look more even.
To make a mask from the ingredients above, you can follow the trick below as summarized by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @Prakriti-DeepaSahni, Thursday (21/3).

Beetroot fruit is claimed to be able to treat dry skin.
Beetroot contains many important nutrients that are beneficial for skin health, including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This red fruit has a high water content, so consuming beetroot can help keep the skin moist from within.
Beetroot is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin A, iron and potassium. Vitamin C helps in the production of collagen which is important for maintaining skin moisture and suppleness. Meanwhile, vitamin A helps in the regeneration of skin cells, so it can help reduce dry skin.
