Thinking about pampering your skin with a facial treatment? A fruit facial is a great option to nourish and cleanse your skin with the goodness of wholesome ingredients. Delicious and juicy fruits are not just great for your body, but also help address skincare problems. They smell amazing, leave you with a radiant glow, and it’s super fun and easy to do a fruit facial at home.
Whether it’s a papaya facial or a mango face mask, fruits are packed with antioxidants that help tackle a whole host of skin problems. They’re ultra-hydrating which makes them a great option for people with dry skin, pigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. – They include good fruit acids like malic acid (from apples and pears), citric acid (from citrus, fruits like oranges and lemons), tartaric acid (from grapes) – Fruit facials are anti-ageing and can reduce the appearance of dark spots – They make your skin feel firmer and tighter – Gently exfoliates your skin, cleanses it thoroughly and opens pores – Hydrates and rejuvenates your skin – Treats acne and acne scars
Pick up facial products that suit your skin type. If you have dry skin, use a moisturising cleanser. If you suffer from blackheads, use an exfoliator prior to the facial.
If this is your first time doing a fruit facial, use a gentle formula to make your mask or pack. Start by leaving it on for a short period of time and increase the time based on how comfortable your skin feels. This will help you deal with skin irritation, inflammation and itchiness quickly, if a certain fruit pack is not suiting you.
