Have you heard of ginseng? No? It's time you acquaint yourself with this powerful herb. Because, wow, the skincare benefits this root possesses are unbelievable. A fact? This human-shaped (it looks like it grows legs) root has been popularised by K-beauty. Yup, we're not surprised. It's said that in the 1500s, a woman by the name of Hwang Jini — often known as one of the most beautiful women of the Joseon Dynasty — included this root in her skincare regimen.

It contains high levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish the skin. Now you know that this is more than just a drinkable elixir
