Birch Sap
Birch Sap — in skincare
Birch sap, also called birch juice, is the clear sap tapped from birch trees in early spring. It contains natural sugars, amino acids and minerals, and Korean brands use it in place of water as a light, hydrating base that leaves skin fresh and dewy.
What it does for skin
Birch sap hydrates without heaviness, helps skin feel soft and refreshed and gives a healthy, dewy look.
Who it suits
Dry and dehydrated skin, oily or combination skin that needs light hydration, and sensitive skin.
How to use it
Cleanse with a mild foam, then apply a hydrating serum and cream, morning and evening. In the morning, finish with a sunscreen or sun stick, and use a sheet mask when skin feels dry.
