May be a useful skin care treatment

According to animal and test-tube studies, the dandelion extract may protect against skin damage caused by sunshine, aging, and acne. In one study, dandelion leaf and flower extracts protected skin damage when applied shortly before or after exposure to UVB radiation, which is emitted by sunshine. Dandelion root, on the other hand, did not have the same impact. An older test-tube study found that dandelion root extract stimulated the creation of new skin cells, which may benefit the look of your skin as you age.

Furthermore, a previous study suggests that dandelion extract may reduce skin inflammation and irritation while improving hydration and collagen synthesis. This might help prevent and treat some forms of acne. However, there has been a little contemporary study on the effects of dandelion on skin health, and studies have been restricted to test tubes and animals.
