6. Prevents Acne
Hibiscus contains acids that act as chemical exfoliators and help to clear the clogged skin pores. It also has antibacterial properties that work to fight acne-causing bacteria on the skin. Thus, it prevents the formation of pimples.
7. Moisturizes Skin
The mucilage, a sticky content present in hibiscus which helps the plant to store its food and water, acts as an ultimate moisturizer and nourishing agent for your skin. It also helps to lock the moisture in your skin tissue for a longer time.
8. Controls Inflammation
The anti-inflammatory activity of beta carotene present in hibiscus helps in reducing skin inflammatory disorders while healing itchiness and redness. Also, the anthocyanins in the hibiscus work to control the oxidative stress in your skin and the inflammation which comes along.
9. Speeds Up Wound Healing
Hibiscus aids in healing wounds faster by increasing the production of fibronectin protein in your skin. It also boosts hydration and cell regeneration in your skin which play a significant role in the process of wound healing.
10. Protect Collagen In Skin
Hibiscus contains myricetin, an antioxidant which helps in reducing the production of collagenase which is an enzyme that works to damage collagen in your skin. This, in turn, prevents and controls the skin damage caused by different factors and improves the natural glow of your skin.
