Mushrooms are delicious to eat, but did you know that they can work wonders for your skin?! Mushrooms are full of antioxidants, which can help repair skin cells and make skin look more youthful and healthier. They can also help to balance pH levels to restore skin’s natural elasticity and firmness. Mushrooms can even help with certain skin conditions, such as eczema. If you want to add some mushroom power to your skincare routine, here are some fun(gi) products (sorry, we could resist!). —Jennifer Cox
Youth To The People’s Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist with Peptides ($55, sold through Sephora) is an ultra-fine, all-day mist that hydrates and soothes skin pre- and post-makeup. It contains antioxidant-rich adaptogens and an activated pentapeptide (both of which are found in mushrooms) to combat dry or dull skin.
Three Ships’ Dew Drops ($45) gives your skin a boost of hydration thanks to tremella mushrooms, which provide a natural source of hyaluronic acid that replenishes moisture deep in the skin. This serum also contains Kakadu plum, which is packed with one hundred times more Vitamin C than oranges, to brighten and plump up the skin.
Pressed Serum from Blithe ($39) is a hybrid multipurpose facial cream that combines hydrating serum and face moisturizer in one product. The formula reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin elasticity, and contains 56% Chaga mushroom extracts: Siberians call it the “Mushroom of Immortality” because of its high volume of nutrition and antioxidants that soothes the skin.
Chasin’ Rabbits’ Magic Beauty Shroom ($33) is formulated with 100 per cent snow fungus extract, which is rich in beta-glucans and plant collagen. This vegan essence infuses skin with moisture and antioxidants, while Vitamin D kickstarts cell growth and healing of damaged skin to fortify the skin barrier.
