Skin care Trend #KojicAcid

Hey There,
               So i'm sure most of you have heard about kojic acid products..... Yea! But some still don't know we have the raw powder which can be used at home for our daily skin care routine. For those who don't know what kojic acid is let me give a little intro..

          Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine . Kojic acid is a chelation agent produced by several species of fungi .... so you can say KOJIC is on the natural side right???! 

So now that we have established that kojic acid is not An Acid please. We can move on to the uses in skin care!  ( the fun part)


*kojic acid in skin care products has the main purpose is to treat hyperpigmentation which is a common problem, especially for us in this part 
of the world where the sun shines all year round. 

*Repeated exposure to the sun can result in a permanent increase in melanin production in spots on the skin, causing small freckles and larger sun or age spots to form. And here is where the Kojic acid comes in handy again.

*skin-lightening abilities

*kojic acid is classified as an antioxidant. This class of nutrients has the ability to counteract the effects of particles in the air called free radicals, which have the potential to cause oxidative damage to the skin cells.

*Kojic acid is also an antibacterial agent, meaning that it interferes with the processes that bacteria cells must perform to thrive and reproduce. By disrupting these processes, kojic acid causes the death of bacteria. hence its very good for acne and blemishes etc

in all i can say kojic acid is a great way to spice up your skincare regimen and also to add a little zing when those pimples and stress spots pop up i wil give its a big thumbs up
