Organic Apple Skin Care

Of course, you have heard the lines, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” right? Well, it turned out that apple can really prevent not only the doctors but your dermatologist as well.

It’s true! Apples have many health benefits—inside and out. It’s a given fact that they are a good source of fiber especially with the skin on. They are also effective anti-oxidants and very rich in vitamin C. It was even said that apples can prevent Alzheimer’s disease from occurring to our elderly friends.

Apples are good for our skin as well. They contain alpha-hydroxy acids that are very effective in exfoliating your dead skin cells making it youthful and radiant. What’s more, you can make your own homemade apple skin care preparations such as facial mask and body exfoliants that are easy to make and quite delicious to use; surely you will have fun using these apple based homemade skin care preparations. Don’t forget to do a patch test first before applying these preparations to your skin to determine if you have allergies to some of the ingredients.

For the apple face mask which is a personal favorite of mine, you will need an apple, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tbsp oats. Mix them in a blender until smooth and apply to face. Leave the apple facial mask on for 10-15 minutes then rinse off with water. This is best done at night before sleeping to give your skin time to recuperate from the exfoliating session. Repeat twice a week to achieve and maintain a good looking skin.
