 Fruits are one of the best medicines. Increased intakes of fruit and
vegetables may decrease markers of inflammation linked to a range of chronic
diseases. We also know that a cup of fruit juice a day is sure to guarantee a
clear complexion. How about a massage with a fruit pulp or a fruit facial? With
people getting more wary of effect of chemicals on the skin, a majority of them
are now resorting to using something from their own kitchen. What better way to
pamper your skin than with pure stuff which is free of toxins and not harmful
to your skin?

 Besides the fact that they hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, the very smell of
a fruit on your face is quite de-stressing. Unlike the chemical beauty
treatments, fruits are cost-effective, natural and also bring a visible
difference. Here are a few fruits and their properties, choose what suits you
best!

This is one fruit that’s available in Nigeria. We know it’s a good source of
iron, magnesium and potassium and helps reduce menstrual cramps.

vitamin A, B and E and hence works as an anti-aging agent. A fresh mashed
banana facial can do wonders for your skin.

or refrigerator. With its vitamin C content, its juice will keep your skin
beautiful. A glass of warm water with a teaspoon of honey and a dash of lemon
juice on an empty stomach every morning is a great skin cleanser. With its astringent
properties, it can be used to lighten the skin tone and also diminish acne
scars.

Rub the inside of a lemon peel on your elbow remove dark spots. Mix
lemon and honey and use it as a natural bleach on your skin.Apple: An apple a
day keeps the doctor away is cliched, but its health benefits are undisputable.

nutritionists have shown that apples contain abundant amounts of elastin and
collagen that help keep the skin young. Applying a mixture of mashed apple,
honey, rose water and oatmeal can act as a great exfoliating mask on your skin.

collagen that slows skin aging process. Rub the insides of orange on your skin
to tighten the skin.

Orange

Oranges can be dried and powdered and used as a natural
scrub. Like lemon, oranges too help clear skin blemishes.

genetically modified papaya suppliers. The benefits of this fruit on skin have
perhaps been talked about since the time of our ancestors.

Papaya is rich in
antioxidants and contain a special enzyme called papain that can kill dead
cells and cure skin impurities. A glass of papaya milk or just applying the
flesh of papaya on your skin can do wonders to your skin.

benefits. The soft pulpy fruit has an amazing effect on skin too.

vitamin-A and rich antioxidants, it fights against skin aging, regenerates skin
cells and restores the elasticity of skin.
