Unfortunately, acne doesn’t stop at adolescence. Hormones, stress, clogged pores and the list goes on. As a lady with skin issues since I began college, I’m always on the prowl for the latest and greatest products to grab my skin health by the reins.
Annie Tevelin may have just found the holy grail that drastically improved the health of her skin. Founder of natural skincare brand, SkinOwl discovered the power of Mangosteen. According to Tevelin’s interview with Well+Good,
“While exploring Halong Bay, I discovered fruits and vegetables I’d never seen in the U.S., like mangosteen. “Everyone said, ‘This is the queen of the fruits.’ Its healing powers are used for everything, including face masks for supple skin,” says Tevelin. An obsession began.”
Say buh-bye to breakouts and hello to airbrushed looking skin. For five years she researched the power of Mangosteen extract and released Beauty Drops ($85) with only two ingredients. Tevelin says, it’s like a “Instagram filter on your face.” In addition to its potent antioxidant properties, according to Cancer.org, “Like many other plants, mangosteen extracts have shown in laboratory tests that they can stop certain bacteria and fungi from growing, although it hasn’t been tested to see if it would work in humans. In the laboratory, mangosteen extracts have also slowed the growth of certain cancer cells.”
