Brilio.net - Excessive exposure to sunlight can make the skin susceptible to problems, such as darkening of the skin and the appearance of black spots . Not only that, the skin will also look dull and patchy. This skin problem is often called hyperpigmentation or excessive skin pigmentation. This condition is quite disturbing to your appearance, because your skin color becomes uneven.
Skin pigmentation is a skin problem that can be seen from the appearance of spots on the skin and causes the skin color to become uneven. Usually, the first signs of pigmentation are the appearance of spots on the face in the forehead, nose and cheeks.
This condition occurs because the body produces too much melanin or skin pigment which results in uneven skin color. Melanin production is triggered by exposure to UVA rays from the sun, environmental pollution, lifestyle, hormonal problems, use of birth control pills, and other health problems.
However, did you know that pigmentation can also appear with age? As we age, the outer layer of skin (epidermis) thins and the number of cells containing pigment decreases (melanocytes). The function of melanocytes is to protect the skin from damage, including exposure to UV rays from the sun.
The characteristics of aging skin are that it becomes thinner, paler, and the part beneath the skin is clearly visible. Pigmentation spots, called age spots or lentigos, are also prone to appearing on areas of the skin that are frequently exposed to the sun's UV rays. So, if you experience this problem, there's no need to worry, because you can do various treatments to overcome the pigmentation that appears on your face.
You can have treatments at beauty clinics, use skincare products, and use natural ingredients. As shared by a TikTok user with the account name @sakhiartistry. Through the uploaded video, he shared how to treat pigmentation due to aging using a mask made from 1 type of flour, namely gram flour. He doesn't just use gram flour, because he also uses other ingredients, namely turmeric powder and yoghurt.

Gram flour is a flour product produced from grinding gram nuts, which are also known as horse nuts or chickpeas. This flour has a yellow-brown color and has a distinctive nutty taste. Gram flour is commonly used in various dishes, especially in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.
Apparently, gram flour is useful in getting rid of acne, removing facial hair, and many other benefits. It is known that gram flour is rich in linoleic and oleic acids, which are important nutritious unsaturated fatty acids. It is also a source of other vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, folate, and beta-carotene.
Thanks to its contents, gram flour can be used to treat facial pigmentation and premature aging. The vitamin and linoleic acid content can nourish the skin and increase collagen.
Meanwhile, turmeric powder is believed to help optimize facial skin health. The benefits of turmeric for facial skin come from the nutritional content in it. Turmeric is known to contain vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and so on. Turmeric also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. This compound provides benefits for facial skin.
Scientifically, turmeric is known as Curcuma longa. This spice helps manage several skin problems such as signs of aging, pigmentation, acne, and so on. The content of turmeric is very effective in reducing black spots on the skin. These are the benefits that a person can feel if they use turmeric regularly.
Likewise, yoghurt contains ingredients that can reduce skin pigmentation and increase skin softness, making it suitable for use as a raw material for facial masks. This is because yoghurt contains lactic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, and vitamins such as vitamins B12, B6, D, K, protein and calcium which are very good for the skin and are able to moisturize and provide changes to the face so that it looks smoother and brighter.
Gram flour can also help overcome acne problems.
Gram flour has been used by Indian women for a long time to care for their face. One of them is to control excess oil production and overcome various problems related to acne on the face. This is thanks to the iron content which is useful in fighting infections caused by acne. This iron content can also soothe inflamed skin, as well as fade stubborn acne scars.
Ingredients and benefits of gram flour to brighten the face.
Not only is it able to overcome pigmentation due to aging and overcome acne, gram flour can also help brighten facial skin. This is thanks to its properties as an exfoliator and the various vitamins in it which can help remove dead skin cells that cause a dull and dark face.
