Ginseng

Ginseng, ginseng can help boost the circulation of your skin's smallest blood vessels, in turn ramping up the synthesis of collagen giving firmer skin. Also, its antioxidant properties protect your skin from free radicals and other environmental aggressors that could trigger the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

For those dealing with dullness, ginseng's coffee-like energising factors help brighten and revitalise your complexion.

Hyperpigmentation is no match for ginseng either, as it helps inhibit melanin production. Antioxidants in ginseng come into play here once again. Environmental pollutants can be easily absorbed through the skin, accumulate in pores, and stimulate melanocytes, thereby creating brown spots. But ginseng acts as a shield against them. These same antioxidants also help balance oil production.

And if sensitive skin is your worry, ginseng's natural anti-inflammatory properties help quell redness and puffiness. It can even be a good, calming remedy for skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis because of this.
