The extract is known to reduce inflammation and redness, along with lessening skin discomfort. Many people with skin sensitivities have issues with any touch or pressure on their skin because of inflammation. Mirabilis jalapa can help with irritation in the nerve endings that occurs due to inflammation. If the nerves are damaged, they may no longer supply the skin adequately, which can cause a change in color or texture. It also can alter the way certain sensations, such as light, touch, and temperature, are felt. EVEN MORE BENEFITS Another benefit of Mirabilis jalapa is the effect it has on barrier function. When a client has a compromised barrier, it can lead to dryness and susceptibility to bacteria and, in turn, infections and a variety of skin irritations. Factors that may contribute to a compromised barrier include the overuse of skin products, too-harsh ingredients for skin conditions, allergies, medications, environmental concerns, and even autoimmune disorders. When the skin's moisture barrier is disrupted, it cannot properly protect itself from external stressors. Hydration of the skin is key, and an added benefit of Mirabilis jalapa extract is improved hydration. Dehydrated skin can be characterized as a lack of water, not oil, and even oily and acne-prone skin can be dehydrated. Improving hydration issues by adding Mirabilis jalapa to a skin care protocol will help the other issues discussed, including both the complications of inflammation and barrier function. Mirabilis jalapa is also antibacterial and antimicrobial. These are key to helping clients with sensitive or compromised skin. These benefits will be very helpful in repairing a compromised barrier function and protecting the skin from further damage.
