Ashwagandha's internal health benefits are well-known and are becoming more widely acknowledged in popular culture by the day - BUT, dare I say - less is known about its topical benefits for the skin.

With anti-stress and anti-aging being the major talking points of Ashwagandha for the body, it provides those same benefits to the skin - AND MORE…

Read below for why I love it, and why I infuse the miracle adaptogenic herb into some of our bestselling formulas:

COLLAGEN

Contains biologically active compounds which boost collagen production, preventing visible signs of aging
Protects collagen from the damaging effects of environmental stress
Rich in antioxidants
Ashwagandha root contains hyaluronan, a natural form of hyaluronic acid, which naturally plumps and hydrates

SOOTHING

Its anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties combat blemishes
Anti-inflammatory - Calms redness, breaks up inflammation patterns

STRESSED SKIN

Helps manage the effects of external stressors like pollution
Protects skin from internal stress hormones like cortisol
Its adaptogenic, anti-stress properties help skin become less reactive to stress
Builds cellular wisdom, aids cell renewal

In Love, Gratitude + Beautiful Skin,
