10 Benefits of Sage
Benefit #5: Skin Care
In addition to its use as an herb and raw leaves, sage can also be used as part of your skin care routine. When extracted and used as cream, sage has been seen to help with acne, psoriasis, and eczema. It is believed sage is beneficial at reducing the appearance of these issues due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
In addition, test tube studies have recently linked sage to fighting wrinkles. In a clinical trial, visually assessed changes and several wrinkle parameters were statistically different between the test and control groups after just 12 weeks.
