Brilio.net - Having an attractive appearance is not only focused on facial care, but also other body parts such as the feet and hands. Caring for the skin of your hands is important, so that your hands don't look dull, dry and spotty . Hands are a part of the body that is at high risk of exposure to sunlight when doing outdoor activities.
Indeed, basically the skin needs sunlight to produce vitamin D which is good for bones. However, if exposure to sunlight occurs continuously it can cause the skin to burn and experience discoloration. You need to know, exposure to sunlight can produce more melanin.
Therefore, excessive sun exposure can change skin color to become darker . Not only that, exposure to sunlight can also reduce skin elasticity, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Apart from that, dull skin can also be caused by wounds or injuries. Wounds on the skin such as abrasions, burns, and infections can also make your skin lose pigment or become dark. Even though it gives a quite disturbing appearance, you can get rid of the striped skin caused by wounds.
Well, there are various ways to even out striped skin, starting with chemical peels and laser therapy. Even so, there is another, more economical solution to dealing with striped hands in a natural way, namely using a scrub made from natural ingredients. One YouTube user @pihuofficials08 shows how to treat striped hands with aloe vera, turmeric powder, mixed with shampoo and mustard oil.
Aloe vera has wound healing benefits, because it contains polysaccharides which can stimulate the growth of new skin cells and increase collagen production, so that wounds can heal quickly. This content is also effective in removing black spots due to aging.
Meanwhile, aloe vera also contains antioxidants which can ward off free radicals that cause striped skin. The antioxidant content is also able to increase collagen production so it is believed to maintain skin elasticity.
The second ingredient, namely turmeric powder, is also claimed to be able to brighten striped skin. This is because turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatories which can fight free radicals that cause dull and patchy skin. Apart from that, the antibacterial properties in turmeric are effective in killing acne-causing bacteria.
Meanwhile, the presence of shampoo in this scrub is claimed to be able to even out the skin. Reporting from typeset.io, shampoo can maintain moisture and whiten the skin if the product contains natural ingredients such as coconut oil, essential oils and rice extract. These three natural ingredients are claimed to make skin smooth and brighten the skin.
Then the next ingredient is mustard oil which is believed to help even out skin tone. According to bebeautiful.in, mustard oil contains vitamins that can lighten dark spots and control hyperpigmentation. The antioxidant content in mustard oil is effective in protecting against sun exposure and evens out skin tone.

First, don't forget to use gloves. You can use a sarong in any color or model. Apart from that, now there are also gloves equipped with UV protection, so that the skin is not easily exposed to sunlight.
