Ginseng May Be The Missing Ingredient In Your Winter Skincare Routine
By JOSEE NG
Ginseng continues to be the epitome of tonic herbs as it’s packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to improve health conditions. Ginseng boosts the immune system, ramps up brain function, lowers blood sugar, diminishes symptoms of erectile dysfunction, and leaves you with healthy, glowing skin.
According to Dr. Zion Ko, this herb can promote skin elasticity and enhance skin radiance and texture, giving the skin barrier a chance to be rebuilt, rejuvenated, and regenerated. Ginseng also enhances the circulation of blood vessels, boosts the production of collagen, reduces the appearance of fine lines, firms the skin, and counteracts environmental aggressors.
Along with symptoms of aging, ginseng can be helpful for those with acne-prone skin because it reduces sebum production and skin redness. This herb is very gentle on the skin, so it’s great for dry and sensitive skin during the cold winter months.
