Brilio.net - For women, care is not only focused on the face and body, but it is also important to pay attention to caring for the feet. Moreover, if you like wearing knee-length dresses, wearing shorts, and wearing flat shoes, of course you want to have beautiful legs that can support your appearance.
Unfortunately, this part of the foot is often forgotten to receive routine care, especially the ankle. Care that is not maintained properly can cause blackened ankles. This clearly visible black color may make you disturbed and feel insecure. Apart from lack of care, excessive sun exposure can also cause blackened ankles.
Excessive sun exposure without protection can stimulate melanin production. This is a response from the skin to protect the surface from UV radiation which can cause hyperpigmentation. Another factor comes from genetics which can trigger blackened ankles.
In addition, black ankles are caused by excessive pressure that occurs due to wearing inappropriate shoes, especially if the shoes are too tight or uncomfortable. So that these black ankles become bright again, you need to carry out regular maintenance. The same thing is done by beauty vlogger @pihuofficials08, who uses natural ingredients .
In his video upload, he did not use potato juice as the main ingredient. Instead, the beauty vlogger uses rice flour, eno or fruit salt, lemon juice and whole milk. Rice flour has a fine texture but is effective in removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin of the feet.
This exfoliating ability helps remove layers of old skin that can cause ankles to look darker. The vitamin B content in rice flour helps brighten the skin naturally and reduces hyperpigmentation which can make the skin on your feet look brighter and more even. Reporting from Healthline, rice flour contains vitamin B10 which can protect the skin from sun exposure.
Eno or fruit salt has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties which can help clean the feet and reduce underarms, as well as the unpleasant odor that often occurs on the skin of the feet. Fruit salt can also have a calming effect on the skin, reducing inflammation and irritation that may occur. Meanwhile, lemon contains citric acid which is a natural skin whitener.
Citric acid helps fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the skin of the feet, making them look brighter. Apart from that, the citric acid in lemon also has mild exfoliating properties, so it helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates the regeneration of new skin. Then, whole milk contains lactic acid which can help maintain moisture and improve the texture of the skin of the feet.
The presence of lactic acid also helps reduce dry and scaly skin. The lactic acid content in whole milk can also help brighten the skin naturally and even out skin tone. So how do you make and use it to make your black ankles bright again? For those of you who want to try, you can listen to the tutorial shared by the YouTube channel @pihuofficials08 as reported by briliobeauty.net on Thursday (21/3).
