SCOPRI LA STEVIA ANCHE PER IL CORPO ED I CAPELLI 

La Stevia contiene un composto chiamato acido retinoico che ostacola la progressione delle rughe. Agisce inibendo la ripartizione delle cellule, specialmente quelle di collagene ed elastina. Inoltre, riduce la produzione di sebo e migliora anche la durata della vita delle cellule. Essendo ricca di composti anti-batterici, anti-fungini e anti-infiammatori,  può aiutare a sbarazzarsi dell’acne e della forfora. Per sfruttare al meglio i benefici antirughe della Stevia, tutto quello che dovete fare è mescolare la polvere verde di Stevia alla vostra abituale crema per il viso. Oltre a questo, viene utilizzata per riparare i capelli secchi e danneggiati.
Suggerimento: per liberare i capelli dalla forfora, basta aggiungere qualche goccia di estratto di stevia nello shampoo e usarlo regolarmente.

In caso di acne, potete applicare la polvere verde mesolata ad un po’ d‘olio di oliva direttamente sui brufoli o sulle zone colpite e lasciare riposare durante la notte: la Stevia asciugherà il brufolo e soprattutto non lascerà cicatrici.
