Brilio.net - Lack of skin care that is not done regularly can trigger a dull facial appearance. Especially if you don't clean your face regularly after doing outdoor activities. The reason is, this activity makes the skin easily exposed to various pollutants, dust and dirt that stick to the surface of the skin.
If you don't clean it regularly, all this dirt can accumulate and make your face dull. Apart from being triggered by a lack of care, a dull face can occur due to a lack of fluid intake. Lack of fluids in the body can make the skin dry and dull. Therefore, it is important to drink enough water every day to keep the skin hydrated.
Not only that, lack of rest can also make skin dull. You need to know that getting enough sleep is important for the regeneration of skin cells. To restore brightness to dull facial skin , the first step you need to take is regular skin care. One of them is applying a mask made from natural ingredients.
As done by beauty vlogger with the YouTube channel @deeba's beauty remedies. By uploading a video on his YouTube channel, he uses one type of fruit, namely watermelon juice which is then mixed with rice flour, pure honey and lime. Watermelon contains lots of water and important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
The high water content in watermelon helps maintain moisture, making the skin feel fresh and soft. The vitamin C in watermelon helps brighten the skin by reducing excessive melanin production. It's not wrong, rice flour has long been used as a natural ingredient for skin care.
Rice flour has a soft texture and can help remove dead skin cells, and make skin brighter and radiant. Rice flour has oil-absorbing properties, making it suitable for oily skin that tends to become dull due to excess oil. Meanwhile, honey is a natural ingredient that is rich in antioxidants, enzymes and antibacterial properties.
This sweetening ingredient is an effective natural moisturizer, helping to keep skin hydrated and soft. The antioxidant content in honey helps reduce inflammation and improves skin brightness. Meanwhile, limes are rich in vitamin C and citric acid which have brightening and cleansing properties.
The citric acid in lime helps reduce hyperpigmentation and improves skin brightness. Lime has astringent properties that help narrow pores and reduce excess oil production. You can use the combination of these ingredients to make a natural mask.

Can honey get rid of acne?
Apart from the benefits above, honey is also believed to be able to treat acne. Reporting from gisou.com, honey contains compounds such as hydrogen peroxide and glucose oxidase which have antibacterial properties. In addition, the hydrogen content is claimed to help clean acne-causing bacteria such as propionibacterium acnes from the skin.
The anti-inflammatory properties in honey help reduce the redness and swelling that often occurs with acne. This can help reduce inflammation around the pimple and reduce its pain.
