With the summer season bringing strong sunlight and many people struggling with skin problems, interest in "bright and vibrant" skin care is growing, leading to the sharing of various methods on social media. Among these, the "natural Job's Tears pack," which is said to eliminate blemishes and make the skin brighter, is gaining popularity.

◆ Benefits of Job's Tears = Job's Tears is an annual plant belonging to the grass family, growing to a height of about 1.5 meters. When the shells of the oval-shaped fruits produced by this plant are removed and ground into powder, it becomes the "Job's Tears flour" that people commonly know.

According to the Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Job's tears are rich in coixenolide, dietary fiber, vitamins, and protein, as well as essential amino acids such as lysine, histidine, and arginine.

 

In particular, coixenolide is known for its excellent immune-boosting, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. It also prevents aging and promotes skin cell regeneration. Above all, it helps reduce acne and skin inflammation by regulating sebum secretion.

 

Job's tears also brighten the skin. This is because the abundant vitamins contained in Job's tears inhibit pigmentation.

 

Various reviews of Job's Tears face masks posted on YouTube.

 

◆Simple Job's Tears Pack Made at Home = The "method for making a Job's Tears pack," which has recently been shared mainly on YouTube and blogs, is simple. You just need to mix 2 tablespoons of Job's Tears powder, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 tablespoons of milk or yogurt. Apply the well-mixed pack to your face, avoiding the areas around your eyes and mouth, leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

 

People who actually used the Job's Tears pack responded with comments such as, “My milia are gone,” “My face definitely feels cleaner,” “I feel safe because it is a natural pack,” and “My skin has brightened and seems good for moisturizing.”

 

Mr. Kim (41), an office worker who has used the Job's Tears pack three times a week for about three months, said, “After using the Job's Tears pack, I heard a lot of people around me say that my skin has become brighter,” and “It doesn’t completely eliminate blemishes, but it definitely seems to have a whitening effect.”

 

The "removal of milia," cited by many as a benefit, is attributed to the anti-inflammatory components found in Job's tears and the exfoliating action of the powder. Milia are small, millet-shaped sacs that form on the surface of the skin. Although small, measuring approximately 1 mm, multiple sacs appear simultaneously and are filled with keratin. It appears that some of the milia are removed as Job's tears dissolve sebum and the powder granules exfoliate the skin's surface during the cleansing process.

◆ Precautions for Job's Tears Packs = Even if the pack is made with natural ingredients such as Job's Tears, milk, and honey, people with sensitive skin should exercise caution when using it. First, apply a small amount to your face to check for any adverse reactions such as rashes or itching.

 

Also, you should not rub your face too hard with Job's tears when washing to remove milia or inflammation. Applying strong irritation can actually cause your face to turn red or feel hot. Even if you leave the Job's tears pack on for more than 20 minutes to enhance its effects, your skin may dry out, potentially leading to wrinkles.

 

Dermatologist Kim Hyun-young advised, “The components of Job’s tears can help prevent blemishes by blocking the deposition of melanin pigment,” but added, “Since skin conditions and characteristics, such as the severity of blemishes or melasma, vary from person to person, it is also advisable to consult with a specialist.”
