Medicinal Mushrooms for Acne
One of these uses are medicinal mushrooms for acne. Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles under the skin become clogged. The sebaceous glands secrete oils (sebum) to keep the skin moist. Over time, dead skin cells, makeup, and other applications plug the pores, which leads to outbreaks of lesions, commonly called pimples or zits. While cleansers help, some acne is caused by over production of sebum oils in the skin. This needs to be addressed internally to get the oils to slow down their production.
Why Use Medicinal Mushrooms for Skin Care
Medicinal Mushrooms are high in vitamin D and when applied topically, they help shrink breakouts and treat acne. Skincare made with mushroom extracts are often used in acne treatments and when added to your diet, they help improve your body’s healing capacity to recover from acne damage. Mycelium absorbs quickly and helps rejuvenate, moisturize and protect the skin. The nutrients reduce sebum oils that cause acne.
HOW IT WORKS: Hydrates skin: Mimicking the action of hyaluronic acid, the polysaccharides present in mushrooms hydrates your skin. We reference polysaccharides in many of our other videos.
Brightens skin: The kojic acid present in mushrooms gently exfoliates the skin from within and assists with a healthy complexion. Mycelium is a good dietary supplement or alternative for harsher external exfoliants or artificial chemicals.
Anti-aging benefits: Mushrooms are rich in antioxidants like selenium, vitamin C and Choline. These essential nutrients fight free radical damage and keep signs of aging at bay.
