Little known, horsetail is a plant full of surprises. Used for millennia, it was originally appreciated for its medicinal properties. It is also used in cosmetics for its purifying and toning effects on the skin.

It has healing properties

Horsetail is a plant used since Antiquity for its many virtues. Its green stems can be consumed as an infusion, tincture, foot bath, capsules or gels, serums and creams. Thanks to the presence of vegetable silicon in its composition, it heals and firms the cellular tissues. Also called ponytail, it also helps to fight against certain skin imperfections. It also has remineralizing effects. For fragile skin that suffers from eczema, dermatitis and acne, it can be used as a compress to be applied directly to the epidermis. It fades scars and stretch marks. Recent research has also proven that it stimulates the production of collagen. Thus, the skin regains its elasticity more quickly.

It has toning properties

It is also recommended to relieve itchy skin. For skin that lacks tone, it is perfect for deeply moisturizing the epidermis and restoring elasticity to the skin. Combination skin can also use it to smooth skin texture and tighten pores.
