When the air turns cool and the trees are ablaze with color, it’s time to taste the autumn harvest. Fall’s crop of fruits and vegetables offers a range of intense flavors and great textures. In autumn grocery stores and farmers’ markets are full of fruits like apples, figs, pears, pumpkins, apples and pomegranates. Here are some beauty products that I presented today on Your Carolina featuring some of these popular Fall fruits in their formulations and why.
Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient- Rich Facial Mask- The enzymes ( a group of complex proteins) in pumpkin make it a safe and natural exfoliator which is alternative to chemical peels. Also, loaded with antioxidants pumpkin protects skin cells from free radicals such as pollution, poor diet etc. The oil from the pumpkin seeds is uniquely beneficial for skin. It is rich in essential fatty acids that regulate proper skin sebum (oil) production, which makes it useful for both oily/acne-prone skin and dry skin.
Michael Todd Pink Grapefruit Energizing Body Lotion – Grapefruit is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, when applied topically, the grapefruit extract can provide an array of anti-aging benefits like evening skin tone and fighting off free radicals and it promotes the production of collagen. Also, it’s great for oily and acne prone skin. Grapefruit increases the pH in the skin which will reduce acne.
Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple Shampoo – Green apples are another great anti-aging ingredient that keeps the elasticity in your skin and youthful looking by preventing wrinkles and texture in the skin. Green apple is great for the hair by working wonders to fix dandruff. It is also a recognized remedy for strengthening the locks, enhancing hair growth and preventing hair loss.
Carmex Ultra Smooth Lip Balm Stick SPF 15, Pomegranate – Pomegranate makes for a great moisturizer. It promotes the production of collagen and elastin to give strength and support to the skin. It will slow down the formation of wrinkles and any age related “markings”.
Project FIG, Shave Gel- Figs are fully loaded with skin protecting and nourishing antioxidants to help soften the skin. Fig contains enzymes that help break down dead, flaky cells on the skin’s surface. Figs also have moisturizing properties similar to the skin’s own natural moisture, making it an excellent conditioning agent as well.
GUD from Burt’s Bees Pearanormal Activity Natural Body Wash – Pears are a natural treatment for blemishes and redness, and can help to reduce irritation and discomfort from sun or wind burns. Pears also aid in reducing excess oil in oily skin. Pear helps protect skin from the Earth’s daily assaults.
