What Is MSM?
While natural ingredients that sound simple are considered good for your skin, there are some components that might sound a bit typical but are equally important for your skin! One of such ingredients is MSM or Methyl Sulphonyl Methane which is a natural form of sulphur and is found in all living organisms. It also helps in strengthening the nails, hair and joints. Sulphur also has the ability to deal with chronic skin conditions like arthritis, psoriasis, etc. This isn't a skincare trend though, it is a classic ingredient which is being used for over 30 years now in the beauty and cosmetic industry. It is also known as the 'beauty mineral' and the 'healing mineral' as it has medicinal properties as well!
