Me, tomorrow on Studio 10

Tomorrow on Studio 10 Tampa, St. Pete I explain why these Fall power fruits work so well in skin care formulations: Pumpkin, Grapefruit, Green Apple, Pomegranate, Fig and Pear. Check my segment out!

Pumpkin- 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 as well. 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.

Grapefruit- 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. It is also great for oily and acne prone skin, grapefruit increases the pH in the skin which will reduce acne. If suffering from rosacea do not use citrus. If taking prescription meds consult a physician.

Green Apple- 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.

Pomegranate- Pomegranate makes for a great moisturizer. Pomegranate promotes the production of collagen and elastinto give strength and support to the skin. It will slow down the formation of wrinkles and any age related “markings”. Pomegranate can also minimize the risk of developing skin cancer.

Figs- Figs are fully loaded with skin protecting and nourishing antioxidants to help soften the skin. It 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.
