Fungus to Fight Ageing Skin?
It might seem counterintuitive to use fungus to improve your skin, but recent research has showed that Chinese mushrooms such as shitake and Matsutake can fight your skin’s ageing process, brightening your skin tone and reducing redness and inflammation.
Various mushroom combinations are starting to show up in face serums, restorative creams, and anti-puffiness eye creams. Oftentimes the mushrooms (including ones with lovely names like Hypsizygus ulmarius) are blended with other beautiful-sounding ingredients like algae and argan nut oil. Hey, if it sounds that bad, it’s got to be good for you, right?
Even if mushrooms do have anti-inflammatory properties, how can that help the skin of your face? You may not realize it, but many imperfections of the skin, including pigmentation, redness, puffiness, and dryness, can all be caused by mini-inflammations. When the inflammation is removed, your facial skin looks brighter, healthier, and more vibrant.
Personally, I love mushrooms, and I am glad to find that they have more benefits to my health. It seems a bit of a waste to let these wonderful-tasting fungi be used in creams and ointments, but anything that makes them more popular is just fine in my book.
