Brilio.net - The aging process makes the skin prone to wrinkles and sagging. In various parts such as the face, loose skin makes the appearance older and less fresh. Therefore, your face must always be hydrated and moisturized. Apart from moisturizing skincare products, you also have to maintain your water and nutritional intake which can stimulate collagen production in the skin.
Signs of aging can occur more quickly if a person is constantly exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. This is because exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, especially the UVA type, has sharp components that can damage collagen and elastin as the protein cells that make up the structure of the skin. In the process, the skin structure will weaken so that it begins to sag and appear wrinkles.
Apart from that, a bad lifestyle can also speed up the aging process, such as smoking, often staying up late, and consuming malnutrition food. Smoking habits can increase the production of free radicals in the body, which in turn can cause skin damage and trigger wrinkles. Meanwhile, frequently staying up late can disrupt the skin regeneration process because the hormone cortisol breaks down protein cells such as collagen and elastin.
Although it cannot be avoided, the intensity of aging can actually be reduced. One trick is to use natural ingredients that contain components that are useful in protecting and increasing collagen in the skin. Increasing collagen production is usually what many people rely on on products available on the market. Indeed, collagen products on the market promise results for skin beauty.
However, this collagen product is priced at a price that will make your wallet thin. So, as a solution, you can use natural ingredients to increase collagen so that the wrinkles on your face disappear. One of them is increasing collagen levels through masks made from natural ingredients . Such as using a mixture of coffee, aloe vera and tomatoes as shown in the upload from the Instagram account @popxodaily, reported by briliobeauty.net on Tuesday (30/4).

Coffee grounds contain antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid, which help protect the skin from free radical damage. This antioxidant can also stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness. Apart from that, coffee grounds also have natural exfoliating properties which can help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the regeneration of new cells, giving the impression of younger skin. Coffee grounds have many benefits for skin health, one of which is to disguise fine wrinkles.
Apart from that, coffee powder also has other ingredients in the form of anti-inflammatory properties. This content is believed to be able to reduce inflammation of the skin and relieve other skin problems, such as acne and irritation.
Some studies show that external application of coffee grounds may help reduce the appearance of cellulite. This may be due to the caffeine content in coffee which can help stimulate blood circulation and reduce fluid buildup under the skin.

Aloe vera has long been known as a natural ingredient that is very beneficial for the skin. Gel from aloe vera leaves contains anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce inflammation of the skin and relieve damage caused by sun exposure. On the other hand, the amino acids and vitamins in aloe vera help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are important for maintaining skin elasticity and moisture.

Tomatoes contain a component called lycopene, a compound that has strong antioxidant properties. Lycopene can not only fight free radicals that damage the skin, but also helps protect the skin from damage caused by sunlight which can damage the skin's moisture. Apart from that, tomatoes also contain vitamins A and C which help regenerate the skin and stimulate collagen production, so that in the process it will give birth to skin with a younger appearance.
You can use the three ingredients above in the following way.
Tools and materials:
1. 2 teaspoons of coffee powder
2. 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel
3. 1/2 cut tomatoes
