7 Fruits For Better Looking Facial Skin

Nom Nom Advertisements have taught us to believe that creams and cleansers are the key to having glowing, healthy looking facial skin. And while this may be true, it is only half of the truth: inner health radiates outward, meaning that what we ingest as part of our daily diet is just as important of a factor for determining how great our skin looks. The following are some fruits to improve your facial health, so start adding them to the grocery list as your new form of beauty treatment:

Yes, it is a fruit! Packed with monounsaturated fats, they help prevent dryness in the epidermal layer of the skin both in the form of creams and as a part of your salad or dip. As it contains Omega-9, it will also improve the general skin tone and texture of facial skin, fighting off redness and irritation. If you find that your skin (along with your nails and hair) is dry and dull, know that avocados also contain large amounts of biotin that will combat it. You’ll also gain long-term benefits from ingesting the fruit, as research has indicated that, along with other fruits and vegetables, consuming avocados increases your body’s ability to absorb key antioxidants and nutrients.

Know to be the “vitamin fruit”, it contains high levels in Vitamin A, C, and E, making it an antioxidant powerhouse. This means that the skin will be helped in getting rid of toxins that clog and prevent the facial skin from radiating. Naturally abundant in alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA), it’s nature’s own version of high-end skincare creams. Create a mini facial by peeling the fruit and rubbing or leaving the inner skin on the face to leave it moisturized and brightened. Because of its acidity, it can also be used to treat stains or dark spots on the skin.
