Fruit for your skin

Remember, just because summer is over, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fresh produce at it’s peak in the Fall. 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 farmers’ markets and grocery stores are packed with fruits like apples, figs, pears, pumpkins, pomegranates, cranberries and even mangos.

On Charlotte Today, I showcased some fabulous beauty products that use these popular Fall fruits in their formulations and explained why they work.
