Feed Your Skin With Fruit Extracts

Did you know that your skin is the largest organ of your body? Our skin not only protects our body by alerting us to pain from sharp or hard surfaces, but also helps to protect us from weather elements of hot and cold and to filter environmental influences of chemicals, bacteria and UV radiation from the sun. No wonder it shows wear and tear as we age!




It isn't just marketing hype; whether it is the skin on our body or our face, our skin needs our daily commitment to help put back in what life takes out. One way we can do this is with our diet, by eating plenty of nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, wholegrain and high-protein foods and also drinking plenty of water. Plus we all know to minimize our intake of alcohol and other nasty toxins such as cigarettes.

But a healthy diet alone is not enough to protect and maintain healthy lustrous skin. To compliment a healthy diet, we must also use skincare products that replenish moisture, restore and help to repair our skin.

Over the past few years, skincare products featuring fruit extracts have gained enormous popularity. From devotees to natural skincare and Certified Organic skincare, right through to the cosmetic house giants and the reason for this is simple. Fruit extracts not only smell divine in skincare and haircare products, they are being lauded for their powerful anti-ageing and rejuvenating properties.

Why Fruit Extracts Work So Well In Skincare & Haircare

One of the factors that compels many people to use skincare and haircare products that contain fruit extracts is that they are derived from something pure, fresh, natural and delicious - fruit.
But fruit extracts derived from sources such as apples, blackberry, grapes, blueberry, apricot, kiwi fruit, papaya, raspberry and strawberry, are high in Alpha Hydroxy Acids, otherwise known as AHAs.

AHAs are mild organic acids that are powerful antioxidants. When applied to our skin, these AHAs aid in rejuvenating and repairing the skin by loosening and dissolving dead cells from the skin's surface, which helps the skin to retain moisture.

In addition to the AHAs, fruit extracts are also abundant in health promoting Vitamins which, when added to skincare products are absorbed and fed into the skin.

Using fruit extracts regularly has been reported to help all aged skin, but is especially revered for its benefit to mature skin and those concerned with ageing. Fruit extracts are known to improve the appearance of skin and assist in minimizing skin imperfections and fine lines and promoting vibrant and luminous looking skin.

What Fruit Extracts Are Available?

The great news about fruit extracts is that these days, there are plenty to choose from.

Fruit extracts can be added to skincare products and haircare products, such as masks, exfoliating creams, treatment creams, shampoo and conditioners, detoxifying creams, body scrubs, body wash and moisturising products such as face oils, face creams, body butters, custards and balms.
