Welcome to our second part of our series "Love The Skin You`re In". The first series we spoke about using basic store cupboard ingredients such as eggs and milk to make great skin care products that work wonders on the skin.
Today, we are going to be looking at the 6 fruits that will not only benefit you inside but also on the outside too, Applied topically they can have a massive impact on how your skin looks and feels.
You know the old saying " beauty starts from within". In this case it truly does. We should listen to our skin. What we eat will have a direct effect on our skin. If we have a well balanced diet full of fresh foods, anti-oxidants, good fats, vitamin C and amino acids this will mean the difference between a tired, puffy dull complexion and a radiant glow.
This super fruit is packed full of anti-oxidants that help protect the skin and fight free radicals, one of the skins worse enermies. Free radicals are what cause ageing of the skin, wrinkles, dryness and lots more by damaging collagen and skin cells.

Lemons:
Lemons are packed full of vitamin C which help to combat those free radicals we just talked about helping keep our skin younger looking. They also help balance out the pH in our skins which can be affected by things such as coffee, alcohol and processed foods that we can easily over consume at times.When your skins pH is out of sorts this reflects in your skin with dryness, it can be over sensitive and prone to break outs.
Bananas:
Rich in potassium, Vitamin E and C bananas are a natural exfoliant on the skin and are great for hydrating dry, dull skins. In addition to this they are a great combat for fighting the ageing process and can even have skin lightening benefits.
Pumpkin:
Pumpkins make great facial masks to boost the skin and offering brightening qualities to a tired, dull complexions. They contain vasts amounts of beta-carotene, Vitamin C and Zinc making them wonderful for nourishing. Of course you can also make great use of the seeds inside for sprinkling over your salads and adding to dressings.
Avocados:
It is up for debate whether this is a fruit or a vegetable? I am most definitely adding as a fruit. Not only has it amazing qualities applied topically on the skin. It is also wonderful for the inside of our bodies, like all of the fruits mentioned here.They are packed full of those good fatty acids, vitamins and skin fighting anti-oxidants that help with wrinkles, dryness and keep our skins looking younger. Who doesn't want that benefit?
Papaya:
The actual peel of this fruit has great benefits, more so than the pulp. Its the enzyme found in the peel that has great qualities. The enzyme known as "Papain" helps to brighten dull complexions. It has great exfoliation benefits and also prevents wounds from infection and heels and soothes sensitive skins. Papaya is rich in Vitamin C, A, E.
Hopefully now you can get an understanding of how fruits that are consumed are wonderful for our insides. But they offer so much more than this.
When you have an underdstanding of how something that sits in your fruit bowls at home, can give wonderful skin glowing benefits. You may look at your fruits as "Super Fruits" because they really do offer some great super powers!
