Native to South Asia, this fruit might be the “it” ingredient of 2023, but it’s actually been used in Ayurvedic medicines for thousands of years. This humble berry is full of antioxidant properties that can protect your skin from free radicals, fight skin-damaging elements, minimise wrinkles and even out skin tone. Skincare brands such as True Botanicals are hailing chebula as the “must-have” ingredient in their Chebula Active Serum, but you can also use it the way Indian women have for centuries—by boiling the fruit in water and then washing your hair and face with the liquid.
