5. Orange
All of us know its richness in Vitamin C, but it’s also important to note that most of its nutrients are in the thick peel, so facials and shreddings of it in your salad are the best ideas of how to use it. The fruit’s antioxidants also serve as an effective and easy way of nourishing your skin so it can fight free radicals, which are highly charged oxygen molecules that cause wrinkling, skin damage and even cancer. Because your facial skin is the most delicate skin on your body, combining ingestion with skin treatments based with orange extract is a sure way that you can decrease the speed of your skin’s aging.
6. Strawberry
With Vitamin C to repair the skin and anti-inflammatory properties, strawberries are considered to be the tastiest of elixirs for youthful skin. They are also packed with AHAs, making it a good anti-acne treatment when applied to the face as a toner after grinding and extracting the juice and mixing it with rosewater. Ellagic acid, which it also contains, fights off the ultraviolet rays of the sun to prevent skin damage as well.
7. Cherry
Follow this rule: the brighter and redder the cherries the better! The redness of the fruit is a good indicator of how much nutrient it contains. Cherries are also high in antioxidants, making it a top fruit for fighting free radicals. If you haven’t guessed it by now, antioxidants does wonders for the skin. Researchers from the Michigan State University suggest drinking a glass of red cherry juice daily to retard aging. If you want firm skin (don’t we all?), grind pitless cherries in a bowl and apply it directly on the face, leaving it on for at least 20 minutes. Its Vitamin C content also lowers skin damage so start popping them in your mouth!
