Bilberry, a member of the berry family, is a shrub that normally grows up to 15 cm in height. It is native to North America, Western Asia, and some parts of Europe. Unlike other species of the berry family, like strawberry and cranberry, bilberry is rarely cultivated. In Scotland, Ireland and Poland, however, bilberry grows in abundance in many publicly accessible lands. | |||
Bilberry has been known for its beauty benefits, making it a valuable natural ingredient for cosmetic products. Here are three of the many beauty benefits that you can get with the use of bilberry. You can enjoy the beauty benefits of bilberry through drinking bilberry juice, eating fresh bilberry fruits, and using cosmetic products that contain bilberry. | |||
1. Helps Protect the Skin | |||
Bilberry can help enhance the look, feel, and overall beauty of your skin. It has been found to contain resveratrol and quercetin, which are great anti-aging agents. It also contains antioxidant properties known to protect the skin against damage from free radicals. It is likewise enriched with vitamins B, C and E, which are nutrients known to help nourish the skin. | |||
Bilberry has also been used as treatment for various skin disorders, such as skin ulcers and varicose veins. Because regularly consuming bilberry helps improve blood circulation, it has also been used to combat venous insufficiency, which causes certain skin problems. | |||
2. Acts as a Natural Cosmetic Ingredient | |||
The extract of the bilberry fruits and leaves is a popular ingredient used for cosmetic products. Bilberry extract acts as a skin-conditioning agent that helps nourish the skin and increases its vitality. The most common cosmetic applications that contain natural bilberry extract include makeup, facial creams, and lotions. | |||
3. Enhances Eye Beauty | |||
Consuming bilberry can enhance the beauty of your eyes, and this is, in fact, one of the most well-known beauty benefits this plant can offer. It has been found scientifically that consuming bilberry can improve vision as well. It contains compounds, including the flavonoids called anthocyanosides, which facilitate blood flow in the tiny vessels surrounding the eyes. In fact, during the Second World War, British pilots would eat bilberry jam to improve their night vision. | |||
As it has been found to improve blood circulation, and maintain healthy eyesight and vitality, it is not surprising why bilberry extract has become a common ingredient in many eye care cosmetic products. In fact, it is also used to treat eye problems, such as diabetic neuropathy, cataracts, and macular degeneration. | |||
Due to the number of health and beauty benefits that the bilberry plant offers, bilberry is now available in different forms, including extracts, tea, and creams. Bilberry tea, which is created from dried bilberry fruit, is also increasingly becoming a popular substitute for coffee. The tea is not only flavorful, but it is also caffeine free. Green tea products with bilberry fruit are also becoming popular. Green tea, which is also known to be rich in antioxidants, when combined with bilberry, makes a very powerful skin care product. | |||
