Have you heard about the skin benefits of fruit? It turns out that these treats aren’t just tasty and nutritious snacks. Take a look at how fruit can resolve problem skin.
Did you know about the skin benefits of fruit?
Everyone knows how great fruit is for your insides but did you know it's good for your outsides as well?
Fruit on its own has been eaten and cultivated for as long as we have records and no doubt for some time before that.
However, it’s only fairly recently that the skin benefits of fruit started to become evident, with scientific studies showing ‘nature’s dessert’ is clearly good for your skin.
Where to start?
There are so many skin benefits of fruit that it is actually hard to know where to begin.
Firstly, many fruits contain collagen producing properties. They also naturally include amino acids and the Vitamins A, B, C, and E. These ingredients combine to reduce wrinkles, smooth the tone of your skin, reduce blemishes and hydrate your skin so it looks more full and youthful.
Some fruits also contain natural ingredients that act as an exfoliator, helping to gently release dead skin cells - and nature’s sunscreen, helping to protect your skin from UV rays (although that’s not to say we don’t recommend using sunscreen when you are outdoors).
All this… from fruit! Most fruits used in skincare products, such as papaya and blueberries contain so many nutrients and minerals that they leave other, less natural skin care products in the dust.
The additional benefit of fruit in skincare products is that you are using something that is naturally derived. Fruits have all the added ‘ingredients’ you need, without requiring additional complex chemical or synthetic creations.
Let’s break it down a little
Take a look at some of the specific benefits of all-natural fruit products for your skin and why they work:
- Bounce: Fruit is full of Vitamin C, which helps to produce collagen and elastin. These two agents help your skin to become firm and plump, giving it back that bounce and reducing signs of ageing.
- Blemishes: The Vitamin A found in fruit is amazing at fighting blemishes and acne, and it works to smooth out your skin tone.
- Hydration: It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that fruit is great for hydration. Fruit is packed full of precious H20 and brings with it all its hydrating benefits. Along with this, the Vitamin E found in many fruits helps to lock in and maintain moisture.
- Wrinkles and ageing: Free radicals are the nasty little agents that cause many of the signs of ageing, including wrinkles. The antioxidants in fruit are the natural enemy of free radicals. They destroy them so your skin stays more youthful.
- Exfoliation: Fruit contains natural acids that work as gentle exfoliants. Rather than scrubbing away the dead and flaky skin, these acids gently dissolve it. This is a great way to naturally exfoliate without experiencing any of the redness that can come from harsh scrubs.
A quality fruit-based skincare product will also help even your skin’s pH balance and help minimise excessively oily or dry skin.
