However, this plant also has numerous benefits for our skin and hair, thanks to the bioactive substances contained in its roots.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to secret ingredients that beauty experts swear by, it's hard to keep up. So it's understandable if you haven't heard of the use of <strong>ginseng<\/strong> on your skin, but some consider it a skincare must-have.<\/p>\n<h2>A history stretching back thousands of years<\/h2>\n<p>Although ginseng may be increasingly present in Western beauty products, it has been an essential element of beauty in East Asia for centuries. \"In the 1500s, there was a woman named Hwang Jini, and she was [known as] one of the most beautiful women,\" he says. \"She was known for using ginseng.\" Others would have followed her example, and the rest is history now.<\/p>\n<h2>A composition rich in active molecules<\/h2>\n<p>Visit <strong>ginseng<\/strong> contains several types of active molecules that give the plant beneficial properties for the skin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ginsenosides :<\/strong> also known as panaxosides, these molecules are present throughout the plant, but only the root is generally exploited. By protecting the skin from oxidative stress caused by<a href=\"\/en\/_wp_link_placeholder\/\" data-wplink-edit=\"true\">UV exposure<\/a>They help prevent premature skin aging.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Polysaccharides :<\/strong> these complex sugars promote skin hydration by forming a protective film on the epidermis and limiting water loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Essential amino acids :<\/strong> isoleucine, lysine or tryptophan supply energy to cells and contribute to cell renewal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>B vitamins :<\/strong> they play a number of roles, such as improving cell regeneration, restoring skin elasticity, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. In particular, vitamin B3 fights skin ageing and maintains hydration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin C :<\/strong> Naturally present in the skin, it neutralizes the free radicals generated by sun exposure, protecting the skin from the external aggressors responsible for photoaging. Vitamin C also helps stimulate the production of keratinocytes, the epidermal cells that protect the skin and reinforce its elasticity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ginseng in skin care products<\/h3>\n<p>In skin cosmetics, ginseng extract can be found in a variety of revitalizing and age-fighting products, such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>In short, ginseng is an extremely valuable natural active ingredient for our daily skin care routine, helping to preserve the health of our skin and hair thanks to its many revitalizing, moisturizing and antioxidant properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The benefits of ginseng for the skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improve blood circulation: <\/strong>Ginseng stimulates blood circulation, which can promote a radiant, luminous complexion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powerful antioxidants : <\/strong>The antioxidants present in ginseng help protect the skin from external aggressors and free radicals, slowing down the aging process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anti-inflammatory properties : <\/strong>Ginseng can help reduce redness and irritation thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promote collagen production:<\/strong> Stimulation of collagen production by ginseng can contribute to firmer, more elastic skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ginseng, an ally for healthy skin and hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to its nutrient-rich composition, ginseng root extract is an excellent <strong>powerful active<\/strong> which contributes to the well-being of our skin and hair fibers. This extract is particularly sought-after for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of ginseng on skin and hair. A 2017 study suggests that fermented black ginseng has anti-wrinkle effects, while a review from the same year shows that this plant could slow skin aging. What's more, the amino acids present in ginseng help hydrate skin fibers by stimulating keratinocytes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of these benefits, ginseng extract is recommended for mature or tired skin, as well as for hair problems such as hair loss, fine, dull hair or scalp fatigue. In skincare products, the recommended concentration of this active ingredient ranges from 0.5 % to 2 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KIM K.-S. &amp; al.
