5 microgreens that will make your skin go from gloom to glow

Just because the days are getting duller doesn’t mean your skin should follow. Here is some fresh news on how to avoid that: we are bringing you five microgreens varieties to make your skin go from gloom to glow – no matter the season. 

Hemp microgreens

Been used for centuries, albeit mostly for the plant’s seeds. However, hemp microgreens are believed to be even more nutritious. The fatty acids and flavonoids that they contain are perfect for targeting the visible clues of aging skin. And what’s best, it’s that they are super tasty, nutty flavored, unlike other bitter types. Include them in salads as garnish or pretty much any dish to enjoy their benefits.

But if you want to make the most of it, let them also be part of your skincare routine. Not sure how? Check our beauty series on the web to know all the uses you can give them. 

Sunflower microgreens

Sunflower is already present in a lot of recipes, whether you use sunflower oil to cook or sprinkle sunflower seeds onto your dish. However, often overlooked are sunflower microgreens.

One of the most complete as they are a great source of vitamins A,C,E,K and B6, protein, iron and skin-loving fatty acids. 

They are crunchy, nutty in flavor like hemp, but with some citrus notes as some other users have said. Because of that, they blend well in any meal, juice or smoothie. 

Not only that, but with a bunch of sunflower microgreens you can also help your skin by transforming them into serum, scrubs or face masks!

Rosemary microgreens

Probably the most known ingredient in this list for their widely known use in skincare and beauty products. A natural remedy that goes from growing hair and eyelashes to solving skin problems as acne or reducing wrinkles appearance.

While herbs are commonly used to grow microgreens, rosemary microgreens aren’t so common. Rosemary has a slower time of growing, which means it is not only often harder to find but also pricier.

Still, the benefits are worth a try. Rosemary microgreens offer rosmarinic acid, which helps to reduce inflammatory skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. So if you are suffering from that, you might want to add rosemary microgreens to your diet.

Pumpkin microgreens

For bitter taste enthusiasts, pumpkin microgreens will surely satisfy you, but if that’s not your thing, don’t be discouraged as the bitterness is relatively light. They do also have a slightly nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They are full-packed with essential nutrients so consuming them will surely boost your skin health. 

And unlike rosemary microgreens, they are relatively easy to find and quick to grow at home.

Cucumber microgreens

Cucumber microgreens are rich in mineral content, they benefit the body and skin. Potassium, iron, magnesium, and zinc are found in large quantities. These minerals help skin feel firm and tight, helping by slowing down the visible signs of aging and giving skin a youthful look. 

They are quick to grow and find. Unlike sunflower and pumpkin microgreens, cucumber microgreens are more delicate and not so crunchy, so people usually use them as garnish. Their taste is pretty similar to their grown counterparts. And for your information, there are plenty of ways to add them into your beauty routine. 

Microgreens for skin

These five are just a starter, because there are hundreds out there to choose from that can nourish your body and give your skin a healthy glow. And the best thing is, you can grow them easily at home with minimal space and effort.

So why wait? Start adding microgreens to your diet (and your beauty routine) and watch your skin transform from the inside out.
