We are all familiar with the beautiful flowers of the hibiscus plant. Not only are they lovely to look at but they also offer many benefits for your hair and skin. The flowers have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to make a healthful tea and for external use in the form of skin and hair treatments. The petals contain Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA), Vitamin C and several organic acids that aid in skin, scalp and hair restoration. Hibiscus powder is also known as the ‘botox’ plant and is a must for natural beauty treatments!
