Facing acne and pimples on your face? Looking for a cheaper and more natural alternative to the many face wash solutions in the pharmacy? "Tri-Glow Natural Face Wash" is a product combining the herbal remedies of various Malaysian communities using three cheap and easy to obtain ingredients - hempedu bumi, turmeric and mung beans. All three ingredients help combat acne.
Hempedu bumi has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. While the leaves have the most potency, the often discarded branches are used in order to fully utilise the plant.
Turmeric has brightening properties that help to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
The blended mung beans provides a grainy texture to serve as an exfoliant, cleansing the pores and removing impurities from the skin. Mung beans also promote collagen synthesis, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
