Brilio.net - Are you experiencing striped and blackened insteps? The condition of blackened insteps is a skin problem that makes anyone feel self-conscious. Especially when you wear open footwear, the striped skin is clearly visible.
Usually blackened insteps can occur because the skin is exposed too often to sunlight. UV rays cause the skin to experience hyperpigmentation. This condition occurs when the skin produces excessive melanin. This causes parts of the skin to become darker than the general color. Not only sunlight, triggers for hyperpigmentation can come from allergies and irritation.
So that the color of the instep becomes bright again, you can treat it with topical treatments. This step is the same as that done by YouTube user @ashucreativity7240. In uploading videos on his YouTube channel, he uses natural ingredients in the form of black coffee , honey, baking soda and lemon juice.
The caffeine in black coffee can help increase blood circulation and stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells. The antioxidant properties of black coffee help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental pollution.
Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help cleanse the skin of bacteria and relieve inflammation. The enzyme and antioxidant content in honey helps heal the skin and maintain natural moisture.
Baking soda has gentle exfoliating properties, helping to remove dead skin cells and dirt that clog pores. The alkaline properties of baking soda help balance skin pH, prevent irritation, and promote the regeneration of new skin cells, so skin appears brighter.
The citric acid content in lemon juice helps brighten the skin by reducing melanin production. The vitamin C in lemons also has antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from free radical damage. With the vitamin C content, it makes the skin of the feet look smoother again.
Those are the benefits of each ingredient that you can get. So how do you make a scrub from the ingredients above?

Apart from the benefits above, coffee grounds can also be used to treat dry foot skin. The reason is, these coffee beans contain natural oils which provide moisture to the skin.
Reported from ourskin.com, Sunday (7/4) when used as a scrub, coffee beans have a rough texture so they can help remove dead skin cells and stimulate blood circulation. After use, a coffee scrub is often followed by rinsing and applying moisturizer, which can indirectly help maintain skin moisture.
