Mushrooms: More Than Just Mind-Altering Substances
user
I'll leave the
tasty
mushroom recipes up to
YumSugar, but what's a Bella got
to do with these sometimes-poisonous and/or hallucinogenic fungi,
anyway? Used in Asian cultures for thousands of years, shiitake
mushrooms are known for their ability to reduce inflammation,
improve vitality, and increase elasticity of the skin. Hence,
you'll often find this mushroom variety in skincare products —
particularly those with
antiaging
benefits.
Shiitakes also help exfoliate, give antioxidant ingredients a
boost, and are an excellent source of
kojic acid, a
natural
skin
lightener that helps fade spotting from the sun and acne. Want
to try out some 'shrooms? Check out the products below for
ideas, including other types of mushroom assortments, too.
