In recent years, Zinc has slipped under the radar as a key fighter in the battle against blemishes. However it is a powerhouse to have in your skincare arsenal to not only keep blemishes at bay but also help to smooth and soothe skin.
Zinc is an essential mineral that aids the body's immune system by helping to fight germs, heal wounds and accelerate skin regeneration. Zinc is also an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory, working to reduce the swelling and redness caused by blemishes.
Prickly Pears Blemish Control Patches contain the anti-bacterial Zinc Lactate working to soothe whilst also controlling sebum levels in the skin. Crucially, Zinc Lactate helps to prevent the formation of new blemishes alongside reducing the lifespan of existing ones.
Alongside applying zinc topically within your skincare, adding zinc rich foods into your diet will be super beneficial to heal from the inside out. Adding foods such as beans, cashew nuts, chicken, whole grains, beef, pumpkin seeds will give you a zinc boost.
