Green rooibos extract is a relatively new ingredient in skin care products that is quickly gaining popularity.
This extract is derived from the unfermented leaves of the rooibos plant, which is native to South Africa. Unlike traditional rooibos, green rooibos has a lighter color and a milder flavor. However, it is just as rich in antioxidants and has similar health benefits. Here are some of the ways that green rooibos extract can benefit your skin:
Anti-inflammatory
Green rooibos extract has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. This makes it a great ingredient for those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema or rosacea.
Antioxidant-rich
Green rooibos extract is rich in antioxidants, including aspalathin and nothofagin. These antioxidants help to protect the skin from free radicals, which can cause oxidative stress and lead to a range of skin issues.
Hydrating
Green rooibos extract is hydrating and can help to improve skin moisture levels. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking and feeling smooth and supple.
Brightening
Green rooibos extract has been shown to have a brightening effect on the skin. It can help to even out skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and leave your skin looking radiant and glowing.
In conclusion, green rooibos extract is a powerful ingredient in skin care products that can help to improve the health and appearance of your skin. With its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hydrating, and brightening properties, it is an ingredient that is worth considering for those looking to achieve healthy, glowing skin.

Dark spots, age spots, sun spots – what exactly is pigmentation and how do we treat it? Annique has the solution!
Pigmentation is uneven brown patches on not only the face but hands, décolletage and shoulder areas. It is a skin problem caused by sun exposure and specifically UVA rays which penetrate deep into your skin, causing ageing and pigmentation. UVA stimulates your pigment cells called Melanocytes to manufacture the pigment called Melanin, which gives human skin, hair, and eyes their colour. Melanin is also responsible for your tan and your unwanted dark patches.
It is a problem frequently troubling South Africans due to our extreme African climate (similar in Australia), and these sun spots may take up to 10-20 years to develop, so if you notice some showing now it could have been caused when you were a child.
During the treatment process your skin will need extra protection from UVA and UVB damage, so applying a daily sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin, like Annique Essense Derma Protect SPF 20, is compulsory when using Essense Brightening Treatment.
