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.

There are several signs that may indicate that you have dry skin:
1.Tightness
After washing or bathing, your skin may feel tight or stretched.
2. Flaking or scaling
Dead skin cells may flake or scale off, giving the skin a rough texture.
3. Redness or irritation
The skin may appear red and irritated, especially in areas that are prone to dryness such as the cheeks, forehead and around the mouth.
4. Itching
The skin may feel itchy or uncomfortable.
5. Fine lines and wrinkles
Dry skin tends to be less elastic, which can make fine lines and wrinkles more pronounced.
6. Lack of oil
When you press your skin, it will not leave any oil on your finger.
It is important to note that some skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis can also cause dryness, redness, and itching. A dermatologist can help determine the cause of your dry skin and provide recommendations for managing it.
