~ Helps Reduce Inflammation ~

The fact that dandelion contains certain bioactive compounds such as polyphenols means that it could prove useful when it comes to fighting inflammation. Some studies indicate that dandelion extracts and compounds may help reduce inflammation in the body. In one 2014 study, researchers found that chemicals present in dandelions had some positive effects on reducing inflammatory responses.

~ Contains Potent Antioxidants ~

Dandelion is full of potent antioxidants, which may explain why this plant has such broad applications for health. Antioxidants are molecules that help neutralize or prevent the negative effects of free radicals in your body. Free radicals are a product of normal metabolism but can be very destructive. The presence of too many free radicals contributes to disease development and accelerated aging. Therefore, antioxidants are essential for keeping your body healthy. Dandelion contains high levels of the antioxidant beta-carotene, which is known to provide strong protection against cellular damage and oxidative stress. They’re also rich in another category of antioxidants called polyphenols, which are found in the highest concentration in the flower but are present in the roots, leaves, and stems as well.

~ Helps Support Healthy Skin ~

Dried dandelion root is often ground into a paste and mixed with water to create a soothing paste for skin disorders like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, and boils.

While there is little evidence that dandelion can treat these conditions better or faster than leaving the skin alone, it does appear to have anti-inflammatory and antipruritic (anti-itching) properties.

Research also suggests that it may help prevent sun damage. A 2015 study from Canada reported that dandelion extracts are able to block harmful ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation when applied to the skin, protecting it from sun damage and lowering the risk of skin cancer. Protecting the skin from UV damage can help a person look younger for longer.

The polyphenols in the dandelion extract helps to improve collagen production in the skin. As a result, the therapy enhances the natural plumpness and firmness of your epidermis. Dandelion is also high in antioxidants. These antioxidants work in your bloodstream to remove free radicals. Free radicals are dangerous particles that cause cell oxidation resulting in the signs of aging. When free radicals build up in the bloodstream, it results in the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and lines in the face. 

~ Has Healing Properties ~

Dandelion is also rich in antioxidants that protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. It also has a positive effect on salt and fluid metabolism in the body.

The dandelion property – to remove dead cells, moisturize, and make the skin elastic successfully used in cosmetology. Dandelion is used to make nourishing, moisturizing, whitening, and rejuvenating cosmetics.

For example, by rubbing the juice of milk leaves into the skin, ancient beauties got rid of freckles and pigment spots. With daily use of cosmetics made from dandelion, the skin becomes brighter, rashes, abscesses, and blackheads disappear.

~ Helps Treat Acne ~

Dandelion juice is excellent for detoxification, stimulation, diuretic, and antioxidant. Because of these properties, they are perfect for treating acne. Let’s start by explaining what causes acne: Acne usually occurs in childhood, when the body undergoes many physiological and hormonal changes. If hormone metabolism is disrupted, toxins begin to accumulate somewhere in the body; with the sweat, the toxins are removed through the sweat glands or sebaceous glands in the skin. Due to hormonal changes, the glands secrete more fat, mix with dead skin cells, clogs pores, and prevent toxins’ removal. Toxic substances are not eliminated, resulting in acne eventually occurring. A natural diuretic, detoxifier dandelion juice regulates hormone secretion, promotes sweating, dilates pores. All of these factors accelerate the excretion of toxins through sweat and urine. Applying dandelion milk juice on the rash stops the bacterial infection and heals the rash. Healing is also accelerated due to the presence of vitamin C in the dandelion milk, so the redness will go away faster and there will be no scars left.
