Bird’s nest. Traditionally lauded by the Chinese for its multifarious health benefits, including improving asthmatic conditions and immune response, what traditionally has been prepared as soups are now being packed in beauty bottles.

Bee venom. You’ve heard how honey is probably the best natural humectant. Bet you haven’t heard the potential benefits your aging skin can derive from bee venom! Manufacturers claim that bee venom causes blood to rush to the surface of the skin, causing the skin cells to become alarmed at the potential damage and therefore producing collagen at much higher levels. The process ends up resurfacing new skin and improving blood circulation where the product is applied. In some ways, the bee venom also causes facial muscles to relax temporarily, in turn, causing wrinkles to stretch and become less prominent. Snake venom peptide creams. So you thought that the first four ingredients in this list can’t get any worse? How about a snake venom in your cream? In fact, marketers are only playing up the bizaare idea behind snake venom peptide creams. Truth is, what’s really inside these creams, like Hydrolux, are synthetics that mimic the effect of Waglerin-1, the peptide found in Malaysian Temple Viper that has been observed to paralyze the muscles underneath the skin, kind of like how a Botox injection can be expected to work. Conclusion What other skincare innovations can you expect to see more of this year and the next few years to come? Market analysts are saying there will be more skincare creams that double as cosmetics and vice-versa. Highly concentrated essences and skin boosters are also products you should watch out for as these become regular day and night skin regimen regulars. There will be a growing demand on probiotics which are being marketed as improving the skin’s natural balance of flora and fauna, which can in fact be beneficial for acne-prone skin types. Other than Vitamin A, C and E, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) will also grow its mass following as its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are embraced by manufacturers and consumers alike. by https://www.thebeautyinsiders.com/
