Dehydrated skin: the virtues of Mallow

Don't they say « Small, but strong » ? Today, we corroborate this adage with our pretty Mallow, star of the Hydra Malva range.

This is the « cute » moment of the week. This delicate little flower with a soft and harmonious purple colour is full of incredible benefits. It is developing as we speak, in Spring. We even encourage you to harvest them to dry them and consume them as a beneficial infusion if you wish.

Be careful, the list of its fabulous virtues is long.

On the physiological level, Mallow helps to fight infections by boosting B lymphocytes, small sentinels of our immune defences.

It contains mucilage. In contact with water, this vegetable substance takes the form of a gel, giving it an emollient action. In herbal medicine, this word refers to everything that will soften and calm inflammation. It will therefore have proven effectiveness in colds and other ENT disorders, relieving painful throats and clearing the airways.

Mucilage helps people with digestive inflammation and regulates transit. As a reminder, a happy transit has a direct impact on the beauty of your skin.

In fact, on the latter, it is a pure marvel. Its anti-inflammatory properties will have the same effect in local application.

In special cases, it will soothe burns, sunburn, insect bites and skin itching. Thanks to the presence of flavonoids, the small Malva Sylvestris will help to heal and prevent premature aging. It soothes the painful sensations of tightened and overheated faces caused by dehydration.

Thirsty skin is often uncomfortable. It tends to blush and sometimes itch when it lacks water. The bounced face loses its appearance and the freshness of the complexion is blurred.
