Healthy Body, Healthy Skin: How Fruits and Vegetables are Skin Care’s Secret Weapons

You probably know eating fruits and vegetables is good for your health, and that includes healthy skin and hair. But did you know fruit and vegetable extracts can be secret healthy skin ingredients in your beauty products? 

For example, malic acid, derived from apples, can help your skin look younger and firmer, without damaging the skin. Meanwhile, blueberries are rich sources of phytochemicals and antioxidants, which improve circulation and promote a radiant glow. Carrots contain beta-carotene, which helps repair and protect cells and slow the formation of wrinkles.

When selecting a spa treatment with fruit and vegetable ingredients, make sure to ask about what else is in it. Some products contain chemicals like propylene glycol in addition to garden ingredients, so it's best to visit a spa or salon like Avital Beauty Lounge that only uses natural, healthy products.
