With slimming on the back burner these days, the skin has
taken the centre stage. A glowing skin is the desire of women
who want to look attractive in exotic outfits. Don’t
forget we are in the bare-it-all age and a glowing skin is
all it takes to get heads turning.
However, the good news is that fruits which experts call the
food of life can actually add much magic to your skin. Everyday,
fruits can make effective beauty treatment. From tomatoes
to cucumber, you can get a supple skin at our fingertips.
Tomatoes
If you have wrinkles around your eyes, a slice of tomatoes
rubbed over the area for some minutes can help minimise it.
Tomatoes are used to clear spots on the face.
Paw-paw
Paw-paw is a beneficial beauty with an enzyme which removes
dead cells on the skin. You can use mashed paw-paw flesh as
a skin mask. For a quick cleansing, rub the flesh over the
skin.
Cucumber
To relieve tired or sore eyes, place a thin slice of cucumber
over each eye for about 10 minutes. The result is wonderful.
Bananas
Do you have wrinkles? Then cheer up and mash a ripe banana,
add a teaspoon of honey and some lotion. It is a soothing
mask for dry skin.
Aside from these, eating fruits regularly will make your skin
glow.
