Brilio.net - Jobs that require you to carry out activities in an air-conditioned room not only cause dry skin. However, being under AC too often can also cause discoloration of the skin around the lips which becomes dark or black
Black discoloration in the lip area is a normal skin problem. The cause is not only from exposure to AC, but also from sunlight. Sun exposure can worsen the condition of black skin in the mouth area. UV radiation can stimulate the production of melanin (skin pigment responsible for skin color) thereby causing hyperpigmentation.
Not only that, skin irritation and bad habits such as smoking also affect the color of the skin around the mouth. The chemicals contained in cigarettes can damage the skin and cause discoloration.
So that the black skin around the mouth disappears, you can start caring for it by applying a scrub made from natural ingredients. This step was shown by a beauty vlogger with the YouTube channel @innerspiritglow. By uploading a short video, he uses rice flour, yoghurt and pure honey.
Rice flour has a soft texture but is effective as a natural exfoliating agent. By rubbing rice flour on your skin, you can remove dead skin cells and dirt that accumulate around the mouth area, helping to even out skin tone and disguise hyperpigmentation. The nutritional content such as B vitamins and minerals in rice flour can help brighten the skin naturally, reduce dark color or hyperpigmentation around the mouth.
Yogurt contains natural lactic acid, which has mild exfoliating properties and can help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new skin cells. This can help even out skin tone and reduce darkness around the mouth. Yogurt also has moisturizing properties, soothes the skin, and reduces the risk of irritation or inflammation.
Pure honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce inflammation around the mouth area and prevent infection. It may also help reduce the risk of acne or skin irritation. The enzyme, vitamin and mineral content in pure honey can help brighten the skin naturally and stimulate the regeneration of skin cells, thereby making the skin healthier.
By using the ingredients above, you can remove black skin in the mouth area. So how do you make a scrub from the ingredients above? For those of you who are curious, let's look at the tutorial below as summarized by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @innerspiritglow, Monday (22/4).

Rice flour has long been believed to have various benefits for the skin, including helping overcome acne problems. Reporting from bebeautiful.in, Monday (22/4) this rice flour has the ability to absorb excess oil on the skin. When applied directly to acne-prone areas, rice flour can help reduce oily shine and prevent clogged pores, which are major factors in the development of acne.
Apart from that, rice flour also contains natural anti-inflammatory substances which can help reduce inflammation around acne. This can help reduce the redness and swelling that often accompanies acne.
