The Superfoodie's Guide to Truffle Skincare

Since ancient Rome, black truffles have been prized for their deliciously pungent flavor. But this incredibly rare fungus is more than just a culinary treat! Believe it or not, truffles are actually somewhat of a miracle ingredient for the skin. 

While people have been eating truffles for thousands of years, the benefits of black truffles for skin were first discovered in the 1950’s by Giuseppina Balestra (our grandmother!). Her black truffle skincare products were renowned for their remarkable anti-aging and skin-boosting properties. 

Today, we still carry on the tradition of making effective and clean black truffle-based skincare products. If you want to learn more about the benefits of truffle skincare, keep reading! 

5 Benefits of Truffle Skin Care

Protect and Repair 

Truffles contain a high concentration of a powerful antioxidant called superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD finds cells damaged by free radicals and environmental aggressors to reverse and prevent further damage.

Diminish Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Truffles are rich in essential fatty acids that hydrate skin, leaving it soft and smooth. All that added moisture also helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Fatty acids also help to reduce inflammation and repair the skin barrier, leading to healthier, more resilient skin overall. 

Nourish Skin

Truffles are loaded with skin-loving vitamins and minerals. These nutrients work to rejuvenate and soothe skin from the outside in. Over time, your skin’s natural glow is noticeably improved.

Treat Skin Conditions

Truffles help to regulate immune function, which is good news for anyone who has an immune-related skin issue like psoriasis or eczema. 

Fade Hyperpigmentation

Thanks to their high vitamin C content, black truffles also have the remarkable ability to fade forms of hyperpigmentation like age spots, acne scarring, and freckles. Truffles are also rich in vitamin B12, which can help to prevent spots of hyperpigmentation from forming in the first place.
