Welcome to the fruity world of skincare, where a humble fig isn't just for your breakfast bowl anymore—it's your new beauty bestie! Get ready to dive into the fig-tastic realm of fig-infused skincare and discover why this juicy fruit deserves a spot on your vanity shelf. We have already discussed fig extract’s overall benefit in skincare through this article . But do you know that fig has another secret benefit, especially for oily skin? Let’s have a quick review of Fig fun fact and see how it transforms our skin from oily to GLOWY!
How does Fig help reform our oily skin to glowy skin?
Remove skin impurities from the surface of our skin
The proteolytic enzyme contained in fig helps to remove dead skin cells from our skin’s surface. It is also able to gently remove sebum, blackheads and whiteheads. As we know, excess sebum, blackheads, whiteheads and dead skin cells are few of oily skin’s concern. The ability to tackle them makes fig extract a great ingredient for oily skin to achieve glowy skin.
Before Oily:
Clogged pores due to excess sebum
Blackheads, whiteheads, dead skin cells build-up
After Glowy:
Regulated sebum
Clear pores (free from dead skin cells, blackheads, whiteheads)
Hydration without the grease
As fig is high in omega and healthy natural oils, it prevents water loss and gives our skin a moisturizing effect.
Before Oily:
Unregulated sebum (might be) due to transepidermal water loss
After Glowy:
Locked in moisture, resulting in regulated sebum thus reducing shiny look on our skin
Anti-inflammatory action
Oily skin often goes hand-in-hand with acne and inflammation. Figs are rich in anti-inflammatory compounds that can soothe irritated skin and reduce the redness and swelling associated with acne. This makes figs a great ally in your fight against breakouts.
Before Oily:
Prone of acne and redness
Painful pimple
After Glowy:
Clear and smooth skin
Calm and non-irritated
