Forget about just treating skin complaints like wrinkles and dryness, the new wave of skincare that’s taking the beauty world by storm is all about targeting your mind-body connection by harnessing the power of neurocosmetic skincare ingredients.
This newly emerging area of discussion focuses on how your skincare products influence your skin’s communication with your nervous system. Discover more in today’s post as we delve a little deeper into the trend and share three neurocosmetic ingredient-infused skincare products we think you’ll love.
What are Neurocosmetic Ingredients?
Your skin houses a complex network of nerves that send signals to your brain, and vice versa. Think of it like a conversation between the two – neurocosmetic ingredients target these communication pathways and work to potentially improve the health of your skin – and your wellbeing.
What Are The Benefits Of Neurocosmetics?
Stress Reduction
Chronic stress spells bad news for our skin and can lead to breakouts and irritation. Neurocosmetic ingredients like ashwagandha (an adaptogen) may help your skin adapt to stress, and help to promote a calmer, healthier appearance.
Enhanced Mood
Some neurocosmetic products contain ingredients like passionflower extract, which may promote relaxation and feelings of wellbeing, helping to give you a mood boost as well as a radiant complexion!
Improved Skin Health
The gut-skin-brain axis is a hot topic. Neurocosmetics that target the microbiome with prebiotics and probiotics may contribute to your overall skin health by creating a balanced environment.
