The cosmetic benefits of resurrection flower

Selaginella Lepidophylla, or Resurrection Flower, comes from the deserts of Central America and the Middle East and is over 10,000 years old. One of the most striking data is that this plant can go up to 31 months without water and its name refers to the fact that it can ”resurrect” after a long drying period. You only need to come into contact with the water to start recovering its green color almost immediately. 

Considering that it is much better for the skin to use natural products than to apply laboratory molecules, the flower of resurrection can become the best ally for mature skin. From an age, the skin begins to lose elasticity and luminosity due to the deterioration of the protection barriers as well as the cellular decrease, and that is when the dreaded wrinkles begin to appear.

The active ingredient is extracted from the leaves of this plant, which, in addition to hydrating, protects the skin barrier, manages to reduce expression lines and improves the general appearance of the face, providing luminosity and firmness to the skin. Some creams on the market include an active ingredient from the resurrection flower that will restore youth to facial skin.
