Mushrooms for Health

You may already love mushrooms in some of your favorite dishes: pot roasts, chicken dishes, and even on pizza.  Mushrooms are great for you, they help boost your immune system and some studies even suggest that they have a mild antibiotic effect.  Not only do they improve wellness from the inside out, but they also taste delicious – earthy and flavorful – something you can feel good about eating!

Mushrooms for Beauty

It probably may seem strange at first to think about shiitake mushrooms as a beauty marvel, but they are a brilliant choice for brightening the skin and making it feel silkier.  The fact that mushrooms are full of vitamin D also allows them to make skin feel fresher and younger. They are a great ingredient addition to face creams, moisturizers, and even cleansers.

One popular beauty product that contains shiitake mushrooms is this Black Currant Creamy Cleanser.  The cleanser contains shiitake mushrooms extract and works to smooth, calm, and rejuvenate your skin.  The mushroom extract works by encouraging faster skin cell renewal, thus keeping your skin younger and brighter.

Another product that is simply a must-have if you are eager to gain the beauty benefits of shiitake mushrooms is NATPURE’s HydraVita Skin Restoring Gel.  This gel is an oil-free anti-aging gel that will nourish your skin and help keep it calm and moisturized, thanks to vitamins A, E, and Aloe Vera.  The gel is perfect for keeping skin looking younger and resilient.

Shiitake mushrooms have so many health and beauty benefits, and are definitely worth a try.  If you want clearer, brighter, more youthful skin, using a product containing shiitake mushrooms is a great way to go!
