Triuga presents stevia powder, a 100% natural ayurvedic product that is perfect for taking care of problem skin prone to inflammation and acne breakouts. It is obtained from a small seasonal plant of the sunflower family, which is used as a sugar substitute in most of the developed world and therefore widely cultivated.
Due to its sweet taste, Stevia rebaudiana is commonly known as sweetleaf, sugarleaf or candyleaf. Its leafs are rich in compounds called steviol glycosides, which are 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia leaf extract has been used as a sweetener since the 1970s.
However, the sweet taste and zero glycemic index of stevia aren’t the only reason it is so widely cultivated. This plant has long been used in traditional medicine and skincare in some parts of the world due to its ability to combat acne, inflammation, itching, redness, flaking, and some other skin problems.
Stevia powder has pronounced antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is also valued for its toning, wound healing and local anaesthetic effect. When used as a skincare product, this powder help to slow down skin ageing and prevent premature wrinkles, boosts the skin’s firmness and elasticity, and makes it feel refreshed and energised.
You can also use stevia powder to take care of your hair. It normalises sebum secretion in the scalp, helping to prevent dandruff. It also strengthens hair roots and therefore reduces hair loss, as well as helps to improve hair structure, making the hair stronger, thicker and shinier.
Directions. Mix 1 tsp powder with warm water to get a smooth paste. Apply to your skin or hair. Leave for 15–20 minutes, rinse with warm water. Apply skin toner and moisturiser.
To make a stevia decoction, put 1 tbsp powder into 500 ml water, bring to a boil, let simmer for 3 minutes. Let steep for 3 to 5 hours, strain before use.
To make a stevia infusion, pour 500 ml warm water over 1 tbsp stevia powder, leave overnight. Strain before use.
You can use stevia decoction or infusion to wash or wipe your face, or as a hair rinse.
