5 FRUITS FOR HEALTHY/GLOWING SKIN

Summer is finally on its way.

The clocks have gone forward and the evenings are getting lighter. With that in mind it is time we started looking at our skin.
We all know that we should eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, but do we? I try to, but it doesn't always happen. However, the vitamins in the fruit and veg we eat can impact on our skin giving it a healthy/glowing look.

Here are 5 fruits that will help you achieve healthy/glowing skin :-

Bananas - rich in Vitamins A, B and E these help act as an anti-ageing agent.

Lemons - high in Vitamin C, they have natural bleaching properties. Lemon is a good cleanser that can help lighten blemishes, acne scars, spots and skin tone.

Oranges - again, rich in Vitamin C and helps to improve the skins texture. It can help remove blemishes and naturally slows the ageing process.

Apples - these have a high antioxidant action which helps prevent cell and tissue damage. This also works as an anti-ageing agent minimising wrinkles and fine lines.

Papaya - rich in antioxidants and can help banish skin impurities. It can also remove dead skin cells when used directly on the skin.
