Here are some benefits of amla for the skin, shared by Dr. Chanchal Sharma.
Rich in antioxidants
According to a study published in the Journal of Antioxidants, amla fruit is rich in antioxidants. These antioxidants act as a powerful defense against free radicals that damage skin cells and accelerate the aging process. By neutralizing these free radicals, it helps protect skin collagen and elastin, thereby helping to reduce signs of aging and promote healthy, radiant skin.
Increasing collagen production
A study published in the Journal of Functional Food said that amla fruit is rich in essential vitamins, which help increase collagen production. Increasing collagen production helps the skin to be firm and soft, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.
Prevent acne
The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of amla help prevent acne, soothe sensitive skin, and reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
Bringing bright and smooth skin
Amla has a natural lighter that helps reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It also helps lighten dark spots on the skin, giving the skin even skin tone and smoothness, said a study published in the Journal of Traditional and Supplementary Medicine.
Moisturize your skin
The moisturizing properties of amla help keep the skin moist, plump and soft. This helps improve the skin's moisture barrier, maintaining a smooth texture and radiant appearance.
