Guarana - In Your Beauty Cream?
Brazil’s party plant, guarana, has seeds contain three times the caffeine as the coffee bean. That’s why it’s an energy drink staple, and the key, some say, to waking up lackluster skin. (The antioxidants help too.)Korres Garcinia and Guarana Body Contouring Cream Gel ($38) targets cellulite; Dr. Brandt’s Infinite Moisture ($65) zaps wrinkles with the ferocity of a Red Bull. There’s a myth in Brazilian culture that domesticated guarana grew from the left eye of a beloved child. See if you’re convinced of guarana’s magical properties with Guarana Berry Volumizing Shampoo ($11) and Conditioner ($11) from the Body Shop.
