The market is flooded with ingredients promising radiant skin, from Hyaluronic acid to niacinamide, making it challenging for consumers to stay updated.
However, ginseng stands out from the crowd. Revered in parts of Asia for its holistic medicinal properties, it's the crown jewel of Korean skincare and is gradually gaining traction in Western beauty circles.
Let us guide you through the wonders ginseng offers for the skin and how you can harness its potential. Here's your comprehensive guide:
What is Ginseng?
Ginseng is the root of an herbal plant native to East Asia and some parts of North America. For years, ginseng has been used in traditional medicine practices to treat inflammatory conditions, low libido, and treat symptoms of diabetes. It also can be used as a natural energy booster and stress reliever.
But there are also worthwhile benefits for the skin and hair. Ginseng extract is known for having powerful anti-aging effects and brightening properties. It's a clean, natural ingredient you can feel good about adding to your routine and using daily.
Ginseng Benefits for Skin
There are many benefits of ginseng tea for your skin. This nutrient-rich ingredient has promising benefits that help maintain, protect, and revive dry, dehydrated skin.
Some of the ginseng extracts benefits include:
Combat Premature Signs of Aging
Worried about crow's feet, fine lines, or wrinkles? Ginseng contains vitamins your skin needs to combat early signs of aging and improve your skin's elasticity. Consistent use allows you to gain the nutrients your skin needs to maintain your youthful glow and improve your overall complexion.
We infuse The Face Cream Mask with ginseng extract. During our clinical trials, participants noticed a 75% visible reduction in fine lines and a 79% reduction in wrinkles.
Eliminate Excess Sebum
If you're struggling with an oily complexion, it may be a sign you have excess sebum gathering on your skin's surface. The wrong skincare products can lead to clogged pores, blackheads, and acne breakouts. Ginseng in skincare can help balance the oils on the skin's surface, reducing the appearance of oil in the t-zone.
Anti-inflammatory Properties
Skincare products with ginseng boast innate anti-inflammatory qualities. As a result, they effectively address issues like redness, inflammation, and puffiness. They're also beneficial for conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and acne. In our user trials for The Face Cream Mask, every participant concurred that skin redness seemed soothed and diminished.
Sensitive Skin Approved
If you have sensitive skin, you know how challenging it can be to find products that won't cause irritation or inflammation. Ginseng is a sensitive skin-approved ingredient that's gentle enough to use daily and deliver results.
The Face Cream Mask contains ginseng extract and other super hydrators to help brighten, firm, and replenish dry, dehydrated skin.
Types of Ginseng
For centuries, traditional medical practices have used many different types of ginseng. While each type offers comparable benefits of ginseng for skin and overall well-being, they have subtle differences. Here's a look at the five different types of ginseng and what they're most commonly used for:
• American ginseng: Modern Chinese medicine uses this type of ginseng. It's believed to have a cooling effect on the body and is great for immunity.
• Indian ginseng: Commonly known as ashwagandha, Indian ginseng is used in traditional Indian Ayurvedic and modern-day medicine to ease inflammation and anxiety.
• Korean red ginseng: Used for a natural immunity boost, Korean red ginseng is one of the most common ginseng used in Chinese medicine and Korean skincare. Use cases include combating inflammation, signs of aging, and improving circulation. Korean red ginseng is the most popular type of ginseng for skin care.
• Panax ginseng: Panax ginseng has powerful antioxidant properties. It's a popular natural remedy to improve cognitive function and immunity.
• Siberian ginseng: For centuries, Siberian ginseng has been used in Russia to treat cold and flu. It's also a natural remedy to improve sleep patterns and stress levels.
Ginseng in Skincare
For centuries, ginseng has been a critical ingredient used in Korean skincare. Many products are commonly marketed as ginseng-infused, making them the perfect solution for anyone looking for products filled with natural, clean ingredients. If you want to experience the benefits of this ancient remedy, there are many ways to include ginseng in your skincare routine. Here's how to use ginseng in skincare:
As a Cleanser
A gentle cleanser will help wash away imperfections from your complexion. It's a necessity you should be using at least once a day during your nighttime routine. A cleanser formulated with ginseng will help regulate sebum production and reduce inflammation, preparing your face for the rest of your skincare routine.
As a Moisturizer
Every great skincare routine needs a hydrating daily moisturizer. Aim to use it at least twice daily during your morning and nighttime routine.
A moisturizer formulated with ginseng will be ultra-hydrating and help improve your skin's elasticity. Ginseng in skincare is a natural anti-aging remedy and can help reduce the visual appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
As a Face Mask
With ultra-hydrating ingredients that hydrate, repair, and renew dry skin, face masks allow you to take a more targeted approach to your skincare concerns. When powered by ginseng, these skincare essentials can even your skin tone and combat premature signs of aging.
The Face Cream Mask contains ginseng extract and other super hydrators to help brighten, firm, and replenish dry, dehydrated skin. In our 12-week clinical user trials, participants reported a 164% improvement in skin hydration, and 99% felt their skin appeared and felt more balanced. This formula is crafted for overnight use, allowing your skin to thoroughly soak up the advantages of ginseng and other moisturizing elements.
As an Extract
You can order ginseng extract online and apply it directly to your face. However, it's better to find skincare products that contain ginseng rather than adding an extract to your routine. High concentrations of ginseng can lead to irritation and may not deliver the expected results.
As a Supplement
Adding a ginseng supplement into your routine can enhance your overall health and ensure you experience more than just the ginseng benefits for your skin. However, if you want to experience the anti-aging effects of ginseng, use a topical and apply it regularly to ensure full skin absorption.
The Face Cream Mask comes with a hypoallergenic Zamac applicator to gently cool and depuff the skin.
