Like hyaluronic acid, snow mushroom can be beneficial for all skin types, because it’s lightweight and hydrates without clogging pores. However, dry and dehydrated skin types can benefit from snow mushroom the most for obvious reasons. So can aging skin. That’s for two reasons. First, when the skin is hydrated, it appears smooth and plump, so fine lines and wrinkles will look less visible. Second, because snow mushroom defends against free radicals, which are known to fast-track the aging process.
Kunin says snow mushroom can be used as often as desired. “There are no downsides to weaving snow mushroom into your skincare regimen unless you are allergic to mushrooms,” Kunin says.
Hartman agrees. “Typically, anyone can use products with snow mushroom as an active ingredient, but check with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding,” he says.
