SHALL WE JUMP ON A SHROOM?
Don’t expect the ‘shroom boom’ to abate anytime soon: having tackled our mental and physical health, the skin benefits of fungi such as tremella and reishi are taking centre stage. Best ingested, they can boost hydration, calm and balance skin thanks to potent anti-inflammatory properties, as well as keep collagen production ticking over with high levels of vitamins A and C. Pop them in style: Phyto Nectars I Am Radiant (£14.95 for five sachets; phytonectars.com) are tremella-rich phytonutrient powders that you turn into a daily skin drink (free from collagen, it’s blessedly un-slimy). Imaraïs Beauty Nourish Gummies (£40 for a month’s supply; at lookfantastic.com) are vegan and berry-flavoured and boast chaga, reishi and snow mushroom, ostensibly to boost scalp health but just as beneficial for facial skin.
