 Purslane, native to India, has thick, fleshy stalks and leaves and so is classed as a succulent. It is one of the basic elements of the Cretan diet, exemplary for its many benefits and synonymous with long life. It was listed by Dioskorides in the first Greek pharmacopoeia for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, which is precisely what it is used for in cosmetology. In skin care treatments for men, it helps fight razor burn, soothe irritations and calm redness.
