Kombucha has gained popularity over the past few decades as a wonderful way to aid our skin’s various needs due to its ability to offer benefits from the inside out.
Kombuchas high antioxidant and probiotic content makes it a wonderful way to reduce signs of aging and inflammation while improving overall skin health.
In addition to the benefits attainable through ingesting kombucha, did you know it can also be used as a topical treatment?
Diluting this powerful ancient elixir works as a fantastic toner/moisturizer, while the “acetic acid gently exfoliates removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores!”
To dilute for topical skin use, mix raw unflavored kombucha with a hydrating liquid like rosewater or distilled water.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, kombucha:
- helps balance the skin’s microbiome
- contains high contents of hyaluronic acid assisting in deep hydration
- contains anti-inflammatory properties which may soothe conditions such as eczema and psoriasis
- assists in regulating melanin production which reduces hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
