How to Soothe Irritated Skin with Mugwort and Pine Cica

I must admit...I am a hoarder of calming skincare, given that I have dealt with easily irritable skin for years and years. This has caused me to favour simple skincare routines over complex ones, so whenever I am trying something new, I am often looking to incorporate key soothing products that are not too harsh on my skin.

I especially adore brands that provide product lines that target specific skin concerns, as it simplifies the process of me having to figure out my own routine by mixing different products from many different brands. Did you know that it is also recommended that we use products from the same brand or product line to achieve the most beneficial results? This is simply because brands formulate their products to work particularly well when used together, which is perfect for lovers of convenience like me!

So, for those who often struggle with sensitivity, redness, acne, irritation, or eczema, I want to share with you Round Lab's iconic Mugwort and Pine Cica calming lines.

Benefits of Mugwort

Mugwort is a healing herb also known as Artemisia Vulgaris, historically used in Korean culture for its medicinal and wellness benefits.

As a great source of vitamin E and C, it is rich in antioxidants to prevent damage to the skin caused by free radicals and external stressors such as pollution and UV rays. It is packed with antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, excellent for calming irritated skin and reducing inflammation. Mugwort also stimulates the production of new skin cells to promote healing of the skin, and boosts blood circulation, aiding in moisture retention and warding off early signs of ageing.

Benefits of Pine

Pine trees are renowned for their antioxidant properties, often found in the market as food supplements or phytochemical treatments like Pycnogenol, which is also utilised in managing chronic inflammation and circulatory disorders.

Beyond the traditional consumption of pine seeds as raw nuts or in culinary dishes, the global use of pine cones, needles, bark, and oil in food and skincare products is well-recognised. These components offer a range of benefits, including anti-ageing effects, protection against alcohol-induced liver damage, anti-inflammatory properties, enhancement of hippocampal memory, and early intervention in dyslipidemia. These advantages make them valuable in the food, functional food, and skincare industries.
