You may see it used as an essential oil or extract in skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extract is usually taken from the seeds, but the whole plant may also be used. Similar to licorice, it is sweet and spicyr.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not the first ingredient that comes to mind when people think of natural skincare. You can see fennel in culinary applications, flavoring, and spices. However, it has many properties that make it also great for the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, it is a natural diuretic. Therefore, it is excellent for cellulite and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/anti-wrinkle-cream\" title=\"anti-wrinkle creams\"\u003ewrinkle creams\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReclaim Moisture with Fennel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can regulate the skin's ability to hold and produce moisture, which is perfect for oily skin. As we age, our skin is less able to retain vital moisture. So when your face feels like it needs more hydration, it produces more oil. More oil can collect and clog the pores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cream or lotion that contains fennel can help strengthen the skin's cells and make them more able to hold onto their moisture. As a result, the skin will produce less oil, and there will be less oil to block pores and form acne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFennel also has toning properties. It helps remove toxins and impurities from the skin and is often used in astringents and toners. In addition, fennel can help strip away pollutants and irritants from the skin, either in a solution or a scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen mixed with organic salts or sugars, it can slough away dead skin cells while drawing out dirt and nourishing the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFennel contains natural antioxidants. Plus, it can penetrate the lower layers of skin, where free radicals are created by the sun and other environmental pollution. As a result, fennel can neutralize these cells and protect them from premature aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fennel product can help boost circulation, especially in areas like under the eyes, where broken capillaries deposit blood particles and create dark circles. Improved circulation in this area can help remove these dark circles and prevent them in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZinc\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zinc in fennel can help maintain and rebuild support structures in the skin, which is vital to younger and healthier-looking skin. Over time, these structures naturally break down, and the body has more difficulty rebuilding them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA topical zinc application can help build vital, healthy cells, making them resilient and a more vibrant appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc provides essential nutrients that nourish and replenish a resilient complexion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese health benefits make the fennel perfect for any stage of life. For example, teenagers with oily, problematic skin can use this product's cleansing and toning properties to help balance oily skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdult women can use fennel to fight the signs of aging before they even appear and reduce skin problems like freckles and dark circles every woman faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Fennel should not be used by women who are pregnant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/about\" title=\"WSU Human Development Skincare Specialist\"\u003eKari Thomas\u003c\/a\u003e wrote this article.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/7719\/1993\/collections\/4eafaf666229eb8d59550368979dc630_c1a5bf9f-da95-494a-b5a5-997e96e55414-5243502.jpg?v=1762819210","url":"https:\/\/nituralorganicskincare.com\/collections\/fennel.oembed","provider":"Skin Perfection Natural and Organic Skin Care","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
