Hibiscus skin benefits
Wondering what hibiscus skin benefits you can enjoy? Here are 4 key benefits:
- It protects skin from environmental aggressors: Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants that protect skin from free radical damage, preventing the appearance of premature ageing.
- It’s deeply moisturising: Hibiscus boasts a naturally high mucilage content, a sticky substance produced by plants to help them retain water. Applying Hibiscus topically enhances skin’s ability to retain moisture too, leaving it feeling hydrated, soft and supple.
- It soothes sensitive skin: Hibiscus also has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps to soothe skin inflammation and irritation.
- It has anti-ageing benefits: Hibiscus flower helps prevent enzymes from breaking down elastin, the protein that is responsible for skin’s firmness and plumpness. The result? Skin looks healthier and younger for longer.
