‍Skin Benefits of Bilberry Extract ‍

Now that we’ve given you a briefing, let’s dive deep into the sweet sweet waters of bilberry extract. 

‍

Minimizes Pores and Reduces Blackheads

‍

Ever look in the mirror and feel frustrated-no, enraged- by the size of your pores? Maybe you’ve spent hours plucking at your blackheads to try and get them out.

We’ve been there.

‍

Luckily for us, however, bilberry extract has been shown to have incredible pore minimizing and blackhead reducing properties.

This is owed to the high amount of a natural compound known as tannins, which have extremely powerful astringent properties.

An astringent literally means pore-minimizing, as it draws out all the dirt and impurities that would be clogging your pores.

‍

So what’s the best way to make the most of bilberry’s pore-shrinking properties?

We would recommend using an exfoliator with bilberry extract to get deep into those pores. Let’s get shrinking!

Reduces Oil Production

‍

Oily skin is extremely common and nothing to be ashamed of, but we understand how annoying it is to deal with your skin when it’s taking up another role as an oil factory. Ugh.

‍

But remember the astringent properties we mentioned a second ago?

Well, this also means that bilberry extract can draw out excess oil on the skin as it tightens and shrinks your pores.

We weren't kidding when we said bilberry is the superior berry.

‍

If you’re struggling with oily skin, we would suggest using a cleanser with bilberry extract twice a day to balance out the oil production on your skin.

Let’s take that oil factory down.

If you’re heading to a party and want to experience an “it girl” moment, you’ve probably looked at tons of skincare products that would give your skin a gorgeous glow. 

‍

And once again, bilberries save the day! Bilberries are extremely high in vitamin C, which is a crucial ingredient if you’re trying to brighten your skin.

It has been clinically proven to brighten, plump, and smooth skin, so it’s a great addition to your pre-party skincare routine!

‍

If you’re aiming to achieve that ethereal glow, we would recommend using a 3-in-1 gel cleanser with bilberry extract to cleanse, scrub, and smooth your skin all in one!

‍

Protects Your Skin Against the Sun

‍

When the weather gets too hot, SPF isn’t the only thing you should be adding to your skincare routine…

‍

Yep, you guessed it. Bilberry extract offers some protection against the sun as well. Whew!

‍This is due to the high concentration of phenolic acids, which are compounds that have been scientifically proven to reduce sun damage and hyperpigmentation, and to prevent sunburns. 

‍

To protect your skin against heat damage, we would recommend using a cleanser with bilberry extract in the mornings, before placing some sunscreen on your face.
