Skincare ingredient spotlight - Centella Asiatica🌿
When reading reviews on skincare products a few days ago, I came across the ingredient Centella Asiatica for the first time. Straight away I looked it up, and found out it’s been a popular ingredient in Asian food and medicine for many years. It’s now become a sought-after skincare ingredient, in Asia and the Western world. So what makes it so special? 🧐
Centella Asiatica (also known as tiger grass) is a herb that lives for many years.
It mainly grows in Asia, and has since become a hot ingredient in Korean beauty and skincare.
Estee Lauder have also used it on and off over the years!
The reason people love it is because it claims to soothe and hydrate skin.
It does this with its potent antioxidants and amino acids - both of these properties help calm down inflammation and moisturise the skin.
There is also evidence to suggest that Centella Asiatica can reverse sun damage and help repair the skin’s barrier.
So if your skin needs some soothing, nourishing care, this ingredient could help you!
