Description
Lemon balm is classified as a soothing, healing, and skin-tightening product, as well as a blood circulation-stimulating product. It is said to be excellent for acne treatment and tanned skin care. Studies have shown that one of the advantages of using lemon balm for skin care is the ability of two of its compounds, coffee and ferulic, to penetrate through the upper layers into deeper layers and provide protection against ultraviolet radiation. Other useful properties of the skin can be attributed to the tannins of the grass, which are astringent and contribute to the antiviral effect of lemon balm. In other words, lemon balm not only smells fabulous but is also great for your skincare. Its ability to balance oil production makes it an excellent hair care product for all hair types. Melissa officinalis is a mild astringent that washes off very well with oily hair. The tonic properties of lemon balm help to balance and refresh the hair and scalp.
