Benefits of Dandelion for the Skin
Dandelions have incredible benefits for the skin. They are rich in antioxidants, so they have anti-aging properties. It’s also believed that they can protect the skin from UV damage.
Since they are high in vitamin C, it’s perfect for applying topically to combat free radicals and signs of aging. Dandelions are also a great source of vitamin K, A and E. They also include minerals, such as iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
