Sippin’ Skincare: Kombucha Can Be The New Tasty Twist To Your Beauty Routine
New year brings in new skincare ingredients which means it’s time for a new addition to your skincare menu – and this time, it’s not something you slather on; it’s something you can sip on! Kombucha, the fermented black tea is making its way from our drink glasses to our skincare routines. Here’s why this edible (yup, drinkable!) ingredient is causing a stir in the beauty world.
Insta-Inspiration
Imagine scrolling through your Instagram feed and stumbling upon a girl nonchalantly massaging kombucha onto her face, swearing by its effects on the skin. Intrigued? Hold that thought because it’s not just influencers riding the kombucha wave; major brands are also placing this fermented elixir under the skincare spotlight. The trend is weaving its way into Indian skincare, promising our skin a delightful treat!
What Kombucha Brings to the Skincare Table
Kombucha’s not just a tangy sip; it’s a probiotic powerhouse during its fermentation journey. Packed with vitamin B, vitamin C, and antioxidants, drinking kombucha gives your immune system a high-five. Here’s where it gets interesting – when applied to the skin, kombucha’s acids regulate the pH balance, its probiotics hydrate and reduce inflammation, and its antioxidants fight against environmental stressors.
