Fynbos: How this South African ingredient will give you beautiful skin

How lovely would it be to not have to deal with constant skin concerns such as open pores, congested skin or redness to name a few. Makes us wonder what exactly are the beauty secrets of the many Hollywood scarlets.

Take for example Charlize Theron. Even at 40, this South African beauty has amazing skin. It glows from within and exudes confidence and perhaps that has to do with the South African beauty ingredient, Fynbos.

WHAT IS FYNBOS?

Fynbos is grown in the western region of South Africa. It is cultivated under harsh conditions such as dry and parched areas, similar to how a cactus would grow. This shrubland is known for its medical benefits and is often used in traditional medication to alleviate symptoms such as fever, allergies and even cramps. On a beauty note, this helps to speed up the rate of cell regeneration. If your skin concerns include open pores or even lines, using the extract of Fynbos can help to draw out any impurities and fill in lines. Over time you’ll notice the complexion of your skin is more even and stubborn spots are reduced.

A bonus is that this ingredient smells amazing and its uses have been extended into room sprays and even candles. When used as a scent, this product helps to calm one’s senses down and help refresh the mind and body – no wonder these products are such a hit in spas.

Now, head on over to gallery up top for a round up of luxurious Fynbos products to try for amazing looking skin.
