This elixir's amazing skin benefits!

Dandelions have many potential skin benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation and irritation, which can help with skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. They offer antibacterial and anti-fungal benefits that treat acne by inhibiting microbial infections. Dandelion extracts protect skin from UVB damage caused by sunlight and may increase collagen production, which helps with the appearance of skin as it ages. They hydrate skin, contain vitamins A, C, and E which encourage healthy skin cell production, and contain antioxidants like beta-carotene and flavonoids that protect skin cells from damage. Dandelions also contain minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining good skin.

Dried nettle offers many potential benefits for the skin, including anti-inflammatory properties that soothe inflamed skin and reduce redness, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes. It has antibacterial properties that fight infections such as pimples and prevent them from recurring. Nettle is antioxidant, helping with skin aging by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. It acts as an astringent to help with oily skin in a milder way than alcohol, vinegar, or citrus. Nettle extract purifies and soothes the skin whilst reducing blemishes.

It hydrates and firms the skin while evening skin tone to fade dark spots and scarring. Studies suggest it may promote wound healing and reduce scarring.

Vitamin E benefits skin by acting as a powerful antioxidant, fighting free radicals, and intensely moisturising by strengthening the skin barrier to lock in hydration.

Vitamin E neutralises harmful free radicals from sun and pollution, preventing damage that leads to dullness and wrinkles. It strengthens the skin's lipid barrier, reducing water loss and keeping skin hydrated, soft, and smooth.
