Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica), also known as Tiger Grass, has been a staple in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in Asian cultures. In recent years, this herbaceous plant has gained significant attention in the skincare industry for its remarkable benefits. Discover why Gotu Kola has become a favourite among skincare enthusiasts.
Calming Redness and Irritation
Sensitive skin prone to redness and irritation can benefit from the calming effects of Gotu Kola. The plant's anti-inflammatory compounds work to reduce redness and soothe irritated skin, making it an excellent choice for those with conditions such as rosacea or general skin sensitivity.
Hydration and Moisture Retention
Gotu Kola helps strengthen the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss and dehydration. This makes it an ideal ingredient for those with dry or dehydrated skin. The plant's moisturising properties contribute to a plump and supple complexion.
Antioxidant Defence
The herb is also packed with antioxidants that protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This can help prevent premature ageing and support the skin's natural defence mechanisms. By neutralising free radicals, Gotu Kola aids in maintaining a healthy and radiant complexion.
Wound Healing and Scar Reduction
One of the standout features of Gotu Kola is its ability to enhance the wound healing process. The plant contains Triterpenoids, which stimulate collagen production and facilitate the formation of new skin cells. This property makes it effective in reducing the appearance of scars, including those caused by acne or surgery. Regular use of Gotu Kola in skincare can contribute to smoother, more even-toned skin.
