Oranges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Replete with intoxicating aromas, powerful essential oils, and nourishing vitamins, oranges are great for your skin. Many cultures revere them for their skin-enhancing properties<\/a>, and we encourage you to incorporate them into your regular beauty routine. Why should you do this? According to research, the citric acid in orange peels aids with skin exfoliation. It helps to dry out acne and improve the overall appearance of your skin. Orange peels also contain natural oils that work to moisturize your skin<\/a> and keep it softer, smoother, and looking younger. Finally, orange peels are naturally rich in vitamin C<\/a>, which contributes to a healthier glow by helping the body form elastin and collagen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pomegranates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only are pomegranates delicious, but they are also excellent for your skin. The same polyphenols that help reduce inflammation<\/a> and early signs of aging internally help externally as well. Applying pomegranates on the skin can lead to a reduction in inflammatory-related disorders, including eczema and acne. The antioxidants also help to get rid of dead skin cells because they have exfoliating properties<\/a>. Regular exfoliation can help reduce the signs of both aging and acne. Additionally, some studies found that pomegranates offer protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays<\/a>. You shouldn\u2019t swap pomegranates for sunscreen, but they do help protect your skin from UV exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
