Birch Juice In Korean Skincare

Confession: We’re obsessed with birch juice, and we’re openly accepting it. Just when we thought that it cannot go beyond snail slime, volcanic ash, and bee venom, the Korean skincare world found another ingredient to brood over. Here’s why we’re dumbfounded and you’ll be too. 

What is birch juice? 

Birch tree sap, birch tree water, birch juice – it goes by many names, and is extracted from very pretty-looking black and white birch trees. Just like maple syrup is tapped from maple trees, birch juice is extracted in the same way. Also sold for consumption like coconut water, birch juice is a refreshing drink that has tons of nutrients. 

Packed with the healing properties of vitamin B5 and vitamin B3, 17 amino acids, minerals, enzymes, proteins, and antioxidants, birch juice is the answer to healthy, glowing skin.

Benefits of birch juice for your skin

1) Detoxifies 

Birch juice has very high amounts of purifying and healing properties. When applied topically or consumed directly, birch juice helps eliminate toxins and pave the way for clear and brighter skin. Plus, it helps maintain a healthy oil-moisture balance, which is THE most important element for acne and blemish-free skin.
