Ginseng

Ginseng is one of the staple ingredients when it comes to the traditional Korean beauty philosophy. Legend has it that ginseng was the biggest skin-care secret of Hwang Jini, a historical figure known as the most beautiful woman of the Joseon Dynasty. Harnessing a potent medicincal power, ginseng not only is good for your health, but it also carries beneficial properties for the skin. The antioxidants in ginseng come into play to fight off external stressors that might cause skin aging, including environmental pollutants that will speed up the creation of dark spots. This herbal ingredient acts as a shield to protect your skin from free radicals and aggressors that could trigger the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. Consider it a mighty remedy to boost skin's elasticity, quell redness and calm troubled skin. As a "natural skin balancer," ginseng can be incorporated into any step of your skincare routine.
