What are the benefits of Haritaki?

We have a long history of skincare ingredients, and Haritaki is one of them. This superfruit has been used for thousands of years and has quickly become one of Procoal’s all-time favorites. We wanted to share with you why we fell in love with this powerful ingredient and the benefits it can bring to some of your favorite skincare products.

What is Haritaki?

Haritaki is a fruit that has a lot of benefits, from hair to skin to health. Native to South Asia, Haritaki is used in all areas of daily life, from nutritional supplements to skin care to cooking. Haritaki is used in parts of India, China, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. The cultivation process for this hero ingredient is slow and manageable, as the seeds are sown in the spring in areas with rich clay and sandy soils. Once the trees start growing, they cannot tolerate cold temperatures below 16°C, making the entire process tedious and requiring full commitment.

It’s called the “King of Medicine” for good reason, as it can help:

Helps prevent skin allergy flare-ups

Can reduce and eliminate acne and ulcers

Prevents hair loss and dandruff

May help relieve constipation

Helps relieve coughs and colds

Prevents diabetes

Helps improve overall heart condition

May help boost immunity

Many also believe that Haritaki also contains a host of spiritual benefits and aids in third eye awakening, meaning it’s often used in spiritual practices and medicine.

Haritaki comes in 7 varieties, ranging from green to black, and varies in appearance, and can taste sweet, sour, or bitter depending on the variety. The varieties of Haritaki are: Vijaya, Rohini, Putane, Amruta, Abhaya, Jivanti, and Chetak. All of these varieties have the same beneficial antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and are rich in vitamin C, essential minerals, and phytochemicals like tannins. You can see why this hero ingredient is becoming increasingly popular and making its way into more and more skincare product formulations, from cleansers to face masks.

Following this traditional recipe, you can find Haritaki powder in anti-pollution skin care products, such as the Procoal Night Mask. With its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, Haritaki fights any environmental aggressors your skin may be exposed to, such as: B.

Benefits of Haritaki for Acne

The light green paste made from the above-mentioned Haritaki powder extract can also provide relief from acne and other skin imperfections. The antibacterial properties help to clear the skin of bacteria and dirt buildup that often enters and clogs the pores. Pimples and blackheads are common results, but there is also the risk of congested and uneven skin, which can unfortunately make any form of rash more noticeable. Due to Haritaki’s high vitamin C content, dark spots and acne scars are significantly reduced and less noticeable.

Benefits of Haritaki for Hair

When Haritaki extract is mixed with coconut oil, an effective, rich herbal hair oil is created. When you apply it to the roots of your hair and massage it vigorously, you can expect to see a significant improvement in the health of your hair. Prevents dandruff, head lice infestations, and hair loss.

Benefits of Haritaki for Overall Skin Health

Haritaki contains many beneficial ingredients such as vitamin C, magnesium, iron, copper, and potassium. This ingredient can help with many skin and hair issues. It is able to naturally draw out all the toxins in the skin, leaving your entire complexion smoother, more even, softer, and more soothed.

How long does it take for Haritaki to work?

After 4-6 weeks, you will see noticeable changes in your skin. It depends on which skincare products you use that contain this skin-healing fruit. What I mean by this is that choosing products that stay on the skin longer will allow the effects to work and be absorbed into the skin. Products like serums, moisturizers, face oils, and nighttime masks will allow the ingredients to penetrate deeper, alleviating skin issues like acne or improving the overall appearance of the skin.

It’s also a good idea to combine these products with other products that contain ingredients that exfoliate the skin, such as AHAs and BHAs, because these products remove the top layer of dead skin cells, which creates a barrier for other products that can’t penetrate the skin. By removing the cells, you allow the potent Haritaki to reach the areas of the skin where it can benefit quickly and effectively. For more information, see our blog post on the benefits of AHAs and BHAs for the skin.

Haritaki is a very effective ingredient to incorporate into your skincare routine. You’ll be truly amazed at the results you see. To make sure you’re using the product correctly and that it’s right for your skin type, you should do a 24-hour patch test on your arm. If there are no signs of irritation or redness, you’re good to go. However, if you still have questions, consult your doctor or dermatologist for further advice.

DQH Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? It’s easy to create a skincare routine, but knowing how to use it is another thing entirely. In most cases, if you’re not getting the desired skin results, it could be due to the layering of conflicting ingredients. So, is it possible that salicylic acid and vitamin C are such ingredients? Or are these active ingredients the duo that’s been missing from your skincare routine? If you want answers, stick around because today we are going to explain the benefits of salicylic acid and vitamin C and how they can be used in your daily life. What are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin? Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used beta hydroxy acids and is favored by many people with oily, acne-prone skin. This acid is derived from willow bark, and unlike its water-soluble relatives (called alpha-hydroxy acids), salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deeper into the lower layers of the skin. Once it reaches the lower layers, it can help unclog pores of excess sebum, dirt, bacteria, debris, and impurities. This results in clearer skin tones and greater definition. Not only does salicylic acid benefit the underlying layers, but the outer surface of the skin benefits as well. When applied to the skin, salicylic acid removes the buildup of dead skin cells. This is accomplished by breaking the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface. Over time, this can cause the complexion to look dull and prone to acne, blackheads, and other blemishes. If you’d like to learn more about salicylic acid and how it can improve your skin, check out this dedicated blog post from a beauty insider. What are the benefits of vitamin C for skin? Vitamin C is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants, which means it is very effective at fighting free radicals and preventing them from causing further skin damage. Examples of free radicals include pollution, central heating, UV rays and harsh climate. They attack proteins, fats and cell membranes as soon as they come into contact with the skin, causing signs of premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation, flaky patches of skin and loss of elasticity. Many people usually prefer to use vitamin C in their morning routine as this ingredient gives the complexion a radiant glow. You’ll also find that vitamin C can target areas of hyperpigmentation, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The thing about vitamin C is that there are a lot of outdated studies going back to the 1950s that describe vitamin C as an unstable skin component. Thanks to improvements in modern technology, this is no longer the case as all products now contain a stable form of vitamin C. Visit The Beauty Insider to learn more about vitamin C. So please check out our blog post. Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? Yes, you absolutely can. In fact, it’s thought that using salicylic acid before using vitamin C ensures it penetrates faster and works faster. This is an efficient way to utilize two power sources, and the reason has to do with pH. For example, the skin’s natural pH is about 4.7, making it slightly acidic. Salicylic acid and vitamin C are also both acidic, and you’ll find that vitamin C is absorbed quickly into the skin. Therefore, using salicylic acid beforehand can increase the acidity of the skin and allow vitamin C to penetrate into the skin faster. While this is considered an effective way to combine two powerful ingredients, you need to be aware of your skin type and how it reacts to certain active ingredients. Even people with perfect, normal skin can experience skin sensitivity and irritation. Therefore, always consult a doctor or dermatologist before using any new products on your skin. It’s also important to follow skin application rules. In this case, you need to use the product correctly to ensure you get the best results for your skin. If you’re not sure what I mean, the basic rule for skin is to start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up to the thickest consistency. This prevents a barrier from forming on the surface, preventing other active ingredients from penetrating the skin. Can I use salicylic acid at night and vitamin C in the morning? Yes, absolutely, this is considered the most effective way to get returns without any adverse side effects. This is because there is enough time between applications to ensure that the skin’s pH levels return to balance. You’ll also find that Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and is perfect for use in the morning to ensure your skin is protected and looking its healthiest. Due to the small size of salicylic acid molecules, it is an acid that is able to reach the deepest parts of the skin. While this is effective at keeping skin clear, it also increases the risk of irritation and photosensitivity. Therefore, many people prefer to use powerful BHAs in their evening routine without exposure to UV rays, pollution, or harsh weather. Warning: If you avoid using sunscreen every day, none of these ingredients will do what your skin needs. The combination of chemical peels and powerful ingredients increases the risk of further damage to the skin’s surface. Use SPF 50 every day to keep your skin protected and your lipid barrier healthy, even on cloudy days, keeping your skin in top condition.
