Herbal skincare, starting from respecting and the following nature, and pursuing a safe and healthy skincare experience, has become an increasingly popular skincare trend in recent years. Many girls are fans of natural plant skincare, not only because the plant skincare products contain various plant herbal essences or extracts that are similar to human tissues, which are easier for the skin to accept and absorb, and are more gentle and healthy. Also because this natural skincare approach is closer to nature, there is a sense of purity and comfort back to nature.
