Today I'm going to be talking about one of my favorite skincare ingredients... Mugwort.
What the f*** is mugwort? I'm glad you asked!

Skincare Benefits of Mugwort
Mugwort is a plant with deep North American roots. It is actually illegal to sell mugwort seeds and plants in NY because it is considered a noxious weed. You can actually find wild mugwort plants all over NY, especially in the mountains.
This is not to say that mugwort can't be found elsewhere around the globe. In fact, it also has deep Asian roots! As an herbalist, I have to mention that mugwort is a fantastic herb with very powerful medicinal properties. I can personally tell you that mugwort actually does some amazing things to the skin.
Korea is always setting trends in the skincare community with their innovative products and focus on effective ingredients. One of the ingredients that blew up a few years ago was mugwort extract/powder.
So what can mugwort do for your skin?
