What are the beauty benefits of Ginkgo?

Many elderly people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which are caused by the decline in physical fitness, bad living habits and bad eating habits. In such cases, drugs such as Ginkgo can be used for treatment. It can have very good therapeutic effects. In addition to its medicinal value, ginkgo has other functions. So what are the beauty benefits of Ginkgo? Let us introduce it below.

1. Whitening: With the increase of age and the influence of the external environment, the oxygen free radicals in the body will gradually increase, which will lead to insufficient superoxide dismutase (SOD), resulting in excessive oxygen free radicals and oxidative reactions with dermal cells, causing chloasma or pregnancy spots. The flavonoids contained in ginkgo leaves can inhibit the formation and deposition of pigments in the dermis, thereby achieving the effect of whitening the skin and preventing and treating pigmentation spots. In addition to flavonoids, trace elements such as zinc, manganese, and molybdenum in ginkgo leaves can also scavenge oxygen free radicals and inhibit the growth of melanin.

2. Wrinkle removal: It takes about 3 months for the human skin to be completely renewed. The reason for fine lines on the face is that the new cells formed in the dermis have been oxidized by too many free radicals before reaching the surface of the skin. When they reach the epidermis, they are already aging cells. The flavonoids and flavonols in ginkgo leaves are both scavengers of free radicals. They can protect dermal cells, improve blood circulation, and prevent cells from being oxidized and causing wrinkles.

3. Ginkgo and free radicals: Ginkgo is one of the herbs with anti-active gene capabilities. Ginkgo is effective in protecting lipids (components of cell membranes) from damage by free radicals. Considering that brain cells contain the highest concentration of unsaturated fatty acids of all cells, this strongly supports the protective effect of Ginkgo on the central nervous system. Free radicals in the brain and nervous system are widely considered to be the main cause of accelerated aging. Ginkgo plays multiple roles in protecting cells, especially brain cells. First, it promotes blood circulation and the delivery of oxygen and glucose to cells; second, when free radicals threaten cells, ginkgo can protect cells from damage and remove free radicals from the body.

The beauty benefits of ginkgo are those introduced above. Ginkgo has a good effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so it can also have a very good effect in beauty. If you use ginkgo as a beauty and health product for a long time in normal times, it can have a very good effect on beauty. But it must be used correctly.
