Hibiscus, also known as "hibiscus flower" or "roselle," is a plant that, in addition to being beautiful, offers numerous benefits for the skin, thanks to its remodeling, firming, and brightening properties. It is also nicknamed the botox plant. I was so surprised by all the benefits hibiscus offers for the skin that I decided to include this ingredient in a product from the Florae Cosmétiques range.
Here are the main benefits of hibiscus for the skin:
Moisturizer:
Hibiscus is rich in mucilage, a substance that helps retain moisture and keep skin well hydrated. It is therefore effective in preventing skin dehydration and maintaining skin suppleness.
Anti-aging:
Thanks to its high content of antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, and vitamin C, hibiscus can help reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. It helps tighten skin pores, resulting in a smoother, firmer appearance.
Brightening and exfoliating:
Hibiscus naturally contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as citric acid and malic acid, which are known to help brighten skin and fade dark spots. It can help even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of age spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. Additionally, it promotes gentle exfoliation. This can help remove dead skin cells, reveal a brighter complexion, and improve skin texture.
Soothing:
Hibiscus has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm irritated or reddened skin. It can be especially beneficial for sensitive skin.
Anti-inflammatory:
The anti-inflammatory properties of hibiscus make it an attractive choice for treating mild to moderate acne. It can help reduce inflammation and prevent breakouts.
In conclusion, once again, there is no need to turn to products synthesized in the laboratory, when nature already provides us with ingredients with extraordinary powers! For my part, I am really in love with this natural active ingredient. I use it for its anti-aging and brightening effect, it's simple, I love it! I strongly encourage you to find a cosmetic product with this plant, because just like me, you will be won over.
