Brilio.net - As time goes by, every human being will experience the aging process. In the skin, the aging process will involve a decrease in function such as elasticity and a change in texture. Some common signs that accompany skin aging are the appearance of wrinkles on the face.
Wrinkles are a condition when the face is filled with folds or fine lines that appear as a result of the natural aging process. Wrinkles can appear from two conditions, namely dynamically and statically. Wrinkles that appear dynamically are influenced by facial expressions that are made continuously, such as smiling and frowning. Over time, this process will leave wrinkles on the skin, especially in the forehead and cheek areas such as smile lines.
Meanwhile, static wrinkles are caused by reduced elasticity and collagen in the skin as we age. This condition is triggered by the skin being constantly exposed to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays and pollution. These two things not only damage the collagen and elastin structure, but also trigger the evaporation of the skin's natural moisture. Gradually, more and more skin damage will make wrinkles and fine lines on the face more clearly visible.
One of the solutions that most people use today to overcome the above problems is the use of retinol serum. This active ingredient, a derivative of vitamin A, has the ability to reduce signs of aging because it can stimulate the skin regeneration process. Even though it is effective, in fact retinol can cause a feeling of dryness and irritation for some people because of its quite potent nature . The retinol content also cannot be used by everyone, such as breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women.
However, you don't need to be confused, because you can use natural ingredients as an alternative solution for getting rid of wrinkles on your face. One trick for eliminating wrinkles using a mask is to use a mixture of milk with chia seeds and aloe vera. This trick was demonstrated by the owner of the Instagram account @ritu.singh27, reported by briliobeauty.net on Wednesday (14/2).

Milk is a nutritious drink that has many benefits not only when drunk, but also as skin care. Adapted from the Healthshots page, milk is rich in lactic acid components, a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which helps gently remove layers of dead skin cells and stimulates the growth of new skin cells. Plus, the protein and vitamin content in milk (such as A and D) can help repair and strengthen facial skin layers, making it effective in helping fade wrinkles while rejuvenating the skin.

Meanwhile, chia seeds are a natural ingredient that is often found in healthy drink toppings. Chia seeds are often found in healthy menus because they contain omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and fiber. The fatty acids in it can help relieve skin inflammation and improve the regeneration of skin cells for the better. In addition, the antioxidant properties in chia seeds can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and UV rays which often speed up the skin's aging process.

On the other hand, aloe vera is a plant that has long been known for its thousands of benefits. Reporting from the Healthline page, the polysaccharide components in aloe vera have an effect that can help maintain skin moisture and suppleness. Aloe vera also contains antioxidant compounds such as vitamin C and beta-carotene which are effective in fighting free radicals and preventing damage to skin cells. Apart from that, the various amino acid compounds in it are also useful in stimulating the formation of collagen and elastin in the skin.
You can use the three ingredients above by following the instructions below.
