The members of BLACKPINK have interesting stories to share about cilantro. While Jennie is known for her dislike of the herb, Rosé is a true enthusiast, able to think about cilantro all night before getting to eat it.
Cilantro is not just a culinary herb but also a potent remedy for health and beauty, especially for women.
Boosts Collagen Production: Cilantro is rich in vitamin C, known for its effectiveness in enhancing collagen production, resulting in naturally glowing and smooth skin.
Anti-Aging Properties: Cilantro contains linolenic acid and is packed with antioxidants, which help slow down the aging process by eliminating free radicals. It also provides natural sun protection, shielding the skin from the aging effects of sun exposure.
With its high content of carotenes (provitamin A), up to ten times more than other vegetables, cilantro offers a range of benefits. It helps treat acne and inflammatory skin conditions as it possesses antibacterial, antiseptic, and antifungal properties. Cilantro also regulates oily skin by effectively absorbing excess oil.
Experts recommend that women incorporate more cilantro into their daily diet, adding it to soups and stews or blending it with ingredients like aloe vera, honey, and yogurt to make a healthy drink.
Cilantro is abundant in folate and antioxidants, which contribute to soft, supple, and radiant skin. Additionally, the antioxidants in cilantro inhibit the movement of free radicals, thereby slowing down the skin’s aging process.
Drinking cilantro juice in the morning aids in detoxifying the body and effectively treating acne and boils. You can also use cilantro externally by mixing cilantro juice with lemon, orange, or raspberry juice to create a face mask that helps clear acne around the nose. After applying this mixture, wait for it to dry, and then moisturize your skin. Citric acid not only fades acne scars but also brightens your complexion.
For those with dry skin and acne, try mashing cilantro to extract its juice, mix it with a pinch of turmeric, and apply it to your face every night before bed. This remedy will improve your skin’s texture and reduce acne.
