Mushrooms are the latest wonder ingredient popping up in skin care products – and for good reason. They are a nutrient-rich powerhouse that’s been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for their medicinal value. In terms of benefits for the skin, mushrooms are known to help reduce visible redness, calm sensitive skin and irritation and contain powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients that ultimately leave your skin looking bright and hydrated.
Below are a few choices of skin care products that all contain some form of mushroom (or multiple versions) to combat a wide range of skin concerns including improved moisture retention, protection against environmental aggressors and calming down inflammation.
1. Ren Evercalm Comforting Rescue Mask
The Evercalm Comforting Rescue Mask by Ren uses an original white mushroom extract to de-stress the skin and reduce redness, irritation, itchiness and inflammation. Whenever your skin is in urgent need of some TLC, this mask is a great option as it will provide your skin with calming sensation, leaving you with a healthy and luminous complexion.
2. Origins Mega Mushroom Soothing Face Mask
