I'm From Mugwort Essence

What is Mugwort?

Mugwort or Artemisia is commonly known as a “tea tree” in Korea.

This native herb has widely been popular for its effective purifying and cleansing properties. Be it in skincare or as a tea drink, this is a very popular herb.

The benefits of Mugwort in skincare has been widely appreciated and loved. The benefits of Mugwort are:

  • calming effects
  • soothing

  • anti-fungal

What is in this?

It contains just one ingredient – 100% concentrated extract of Mugwort grown from Hado Village, Ganghwa County, South Korea. What is interesting is that the Mugwort used in this essence has been aged for 3 years with the sea breeze of Mani Mountain.

How to use the I’m From Mugwort Essence?

  1. After cleansing and toner, apply the Mugwort Essence over the whole face prioritizing the sensitive part.
  2. Another great way of using this is as a DIY sheet mask. Soak cotton pads/sheet mask with the Mugwort essence and place them over the sensitive areas or whole face.
  3. This also works well as a first essence.

My Thoughts

Having loved the I’m From Rice Toner, I was extremely excited to see how the Mugwort Essence performs.

I have been using this for a month now. A few weeks back, I was trying the By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C with Ferulic Acid which had my skin flipping out and highly irritated. The I’m From Mugwort Essence came in very handy during this period. It was an unfortunate period for me. But it was the perfect timing to test the performance of the I’m From Mugwort Essence.

As suggested I use this after my cleansing and toner. The texture feels slightly viscous and absorbs quickly. It feels super hydrating and has an immediate sense of calmness.

The essence has a mild earthy, herbaceous scent to it which is neither unpleasant nor overpowering. My skin just drinks up this essence and my skin adores this essence.

As this does not feel tacky, I love layering this toner. Whenever my skin feels irritated, I do around 4 layers of this essence and it still does not feel heavy or tacky.

The lightweight yet soothing benefits of this essence has me reaching out to it for both my morning and evening routine. The calming and soothing benefits this essence brings is just praiseworthy.

Conclusion

I was kinda late in trying this cult-favorite. Having said that, I can now see why this is loved by so many. The I’m From Mugwort Essence is a great soothing and calming essence. This has quickly become my go-to rescue essence when any time my skin feels irritated and out of the place. Only true love for this one.
