What is Adaptogenic Skincare?

WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS

Adaptogens are “super” plants, herbs, and mushrooms that can help improve the body’s response to stressors.They can be found in supplements, or food items. Adaptogens can ward off fatigue, boost endurance, and improve concentration. Other adaptogens help with feelings of relaxation or tranquillity. In short they adapt to all life's stressors ( pollution, oxidation, UV rays, etc.), so you can better fend them off.

To make it brief, an adaptogen is:

• Nontoxic
• Reduces your stress levels and anxiety.
• Supports overall health by helping your body achieve balance

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Adaptogens help protects the skin against stressors to reduce signs of inflammation, improve skin elasticity, and make the barrier function to defend and protect the skin better.

POPULAR ADAPTOGENS

Some of the most popular adaptogens to include in skin care products are:

SCHISANDRA

Also a natural beauty tonic, protecting the skin from environmental stress, toxins and over-exposure to extreme weather, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines. Its astringent quality helps the skin to retain moisture and builds the immune defence energy that flows beneath the surface of the skin.

REISHI MUSHROOM

This plant is packed full of  skincare benefits, it reduces redness, lines, and wrinkles. This plant prevents premature ageing, fights free radicals, and protects the skin from the sun. It also reinforces the moisture barrier of the skin and helps to fade acne scars.

GINSENG

Ginseng is known as a “natural skin balancer”. It is an effective skin moisturiser, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, reduces collagen degradation thereby improving skin firmness, it lightens the skin and reduces sunspots inhibiting the effects of solar UVB radiation on the skin. If fine lines and wrinkles are your concern, ginseng can help boost the circulation of your skin's blood vessels, in turn ramping up the production of collagen.

LICORICE

Licorice root extract is known to contain a compound known as glycyrrhizin, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It is used to treat skin conditions like eczema and acne. Contains amino acids, known to help moisturise and rehydrate the skin. Improves hyperpigmentation, and helps regenerate elastin and collagen.
