You would have probably noticed the buzz surrounding Asian beauty brands<\/a> in the recent years but what exactly makes them so special? The answer lies in the ingredients!<\/p>

So many Asian ingredients are used in skincare and makeup products these days that even products from the West\u00a0have started to follow suit. In fact, Bobbi Brown's latest Intensive Skin Serum Foundation makes use of pouplar Asian herbs such as\u00a0Cordyceps Mushroom extracts,\u00a0Lychee extracts and Bamboo Grass in its list of ingredients.<\/p>

Specific Asian herbs are used to combat different skincare concerns. It all boils down to the theory of yin<\/em> (cool energy) and yang<\/em> (hot energy). When an individual's yin and yang are equal, the body's life force or chi<\/em> is able to flow more efficiently. Therefore skincare products are formulated based on a simple formula - replenish the yin and balance the yang.<\/p>

Unlike chemical based skincare which work on the surface, products which use Asian herbs\u00a0are created on the belief that great skin starts with great digestion. Therefore, the various herbs are selected to balance the energy of your body's earth (i.e. your stomach energy). This has resulted in different types of skincare products which can be applied topically or even ingested for maximum benefits.<\/p>

For example an individual with acne prone skin<\/a> will have an excess of yang<\/em> (hot energy) and should look for topical herbs such as\u00a0Yu Zhu<\/em> to include in his or her skincare routine.\u00a0So let us take you on the road with our round up of the 5 most popular and powerful Asian herbs used as skincare ingredients in the\u00a0gallery up top.<\/p>

With about 600 herbs in use today, we can certainly expect to see more products being formulated with these herbs as key ingredients to solve our skincare woes.<\/p>
