B&W Quality Growers Watercress is a peppery and delightful treat, do you know it's also really good for your skin?

It treats skin inflammation with its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-bacterial qualities.
When you consume watercress, for acne, it acts as a cleansing agent, in the digestive tract which in turn encourages better filtering in the blood. You can also apply watercress topically. Just make a paste of the watercress by crushing it and apply to affected areas. Leave the watercress on for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate the pores.

Watercress can also act as soothing balm for eczema. Ingesting watercress helps manage itching and the burning sensation from eczema.

It's been proved as a powerful anti-aging ingredient. A cup of watercress a day keeps wrinkles away.

Vitamin A and Vitamin C are abundant in watercress and there's evidence these are safeguards against skin cancer.
