Brilio.net - The many activities you do outside sometimes expose your skin to excessive sunlight. Especially when you don't use protection, such as sunblock. The skin on your hands will burn more easily in the sun. If this happens continuously it can make the skin on your hands striped. Not without reason, exposure to sunlight can stimulate melanin production. This causes discoloration of the skin of the hands .
Young hands are also exposed to environmental pollution and free radicals. This is because exposure to environmental pollution and free radicals can damage dead skin cells. This results in the skin on your hands becoming striped.
Striped hand skin gives the appearance of quite significant color differences. So you can see between skin that is protected and not. This condition makes you less confident when wearing short-sleeved clothes. It's not surprising that this method of evening out patchy hand skin is quite necessary.
You can use the exfoliation method to remove spots . This treatment helps remove dead skin cells and makes your skin look brighter. So, exfoliation can be done using natural ingredients such as granulated sugar mixed with coffee grounds, honey and coconut oil.
Granulated sugar has a rough texture but is not too abrasive, making it suitable for use as a natural exfoliant. Using granulated sugar as a scrub can help remove dead skin cells and dirt from the surface of the skin. Not only that, granulated sugar can also restore the skin's natural shine and speed up the regeneration process of new skin cells.
When used as a scrub, the movement of massaging sugar into the skin can help increase blood circulation to the treated area. This increased blood flow can help restore the skin's natural tone and improve its overall appearance.
Coffee grounds contain antioxidants and skin rejuvenating substances that can help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the regeneration of new cells. The caffeine content in coffee can also help increase blood flow to the skin, making it look brighter and fresher.
Honey is a natural ingredient that is known to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, so it can help relieve inflammation of the skin and prevent infection. This natural ingredient also has the ability to moisturize and soothe the skin, so it can help improve skin moisture and elasticity.
Meanwhile, coconut oil contains fatty acids which can penetrate the skin well and help moisturize the skin deeply. The lauric acid content in coconut oil also has antimicrobial properties which can fight bacteria and fungi that cause skin infections.
