You’ve probably read about the benefits of consuming products containing mushrooms, like mushroom coffee or mushroom supplements. But what about skincare products containing the ingredient? Mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time, and are often known for their anti-inflammatory properties. You’ll see a range of mushroom types in skincare products,…
If you told me one day I’d be using beauty products with marshmallow in them, I’d probably laugh in your face (and suddenly crave a smore, let’s be honest).
