While beauty trends may come and go, there’s one thing that never goes out of style – taking care of your skin. Part of taking good care of your skin is finding out which natural ingredients benefit you and help improve your skin health.
The ingredients that will work best for you depend mainly on what skin type you have.
If you have dry skin, you’ll want to choose skincare products that are moisturising and hydrating on the other hand if you have oily skin, you might need skincare ingredients that unclog pores, refine skin texture and control excess oil.
To get glowing skin naturally and to liven up dull, uneven complexion what you need is natural ingredients as a part of your skincare products that take care of your skin and provide myriad nourishing, anti-aging, and skin brightening benefits.

It also evens out skin tone, improves skin texture, and protects against free radicals.
Yuzu: Apart from being a gastronomical delight, Yuzu’s benefits for skin care are responsible for making it the buzziest skincare ingredient that the beauty world cannot get enough of. Given the fact that this awesome citrus fruit has three times the vitamin C of its fellow citrus friends, it easily tops the antioxidant list. It restores your skin’s moisture barrier and keeps it looking supple all the time! Yuzu really helps with collagen production, which in turn blurs the fine lines, and wrinkles, and improves the skin’s elasticity. It hinders the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which considerably slows down the skin’s aging process.
Ginseng: Packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, ginseng is known for brightening skin, boosting collagen, and calming down irritated, stressed-out skin. Popular in Korean skincare and long known for its usage as a medicine in China, ginseng firms and enhances skin texture, reduces the appearance of dark circles, and helps prevent signs of aging.
Rice water: Rice water is rich in antioxidants and is an excellent skin-brightening ingredient. It not only brightens but also fades dark spots and pigmentation when used regularly. Korean women since ages have been using rice water for skin whitening and brightening. Rice water has ‘time-turning’ properties that blur away premature signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles and even delay their appearance by a substantial amount of years.
Pomegranate: One of the top pomegranate benefits is that it contains about 48 per cent of the daily vitamin C, making it the ultimate blocker of free radicals. It also contains three types of antioxidants – anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and tannins, that work to detox as well as repair the skin from the damage caused due to environmental factors. Pomegranates help reduce the signs of skin aging like age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Studies have shown that this superfood can stimulate Keratinocyte skin cells which help with cellular regeneration, making it a fantastic anti-aging ingredient. (IANSlife)
