The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a unique ecological region of China with abundant plant re-sources.Recent research has shown many plants in this area possess remarkable anti-skin photoaging properties,which are of great significance in skin protection and cosmetics.This article comprehensive-ly reviewed the research progress on the anti-skin photoaging effects of 25 vascular plant extracts from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region,including Brassica rapa,Prinsepia utilis,Gastrodia elata and Scu-tellaria barbata.The mechanisms and pathways of skin photoaging caused by ultraviolet radiation were investigated,and commonly used models for evaluating the activity of plant extracts in anti-skin photo-aging were introduced.To more effectively develop and utilize these plant resources,further research on their resource properties,functional components,mechanisms of action,effectiveness,and safety is needed.This article serves as a reference for the development and application of plant resources in combating skin photoaging in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
