It also promotes the production of vital compounds and proteins for healthy skin such as hyaluronan for skin hydration, elastin to keep the skin supple and collagen for skin strength. For glowing skin, you can also use Winter Cherry as a toner with dried ginger and lemon.

And if that wasn't enough, it also helps deal with hair loss.
