Ways You Can Use Your Favourite Fruit

Eat, drink, apply. Here are a number of ways you can use your favourite fruit 

No matter which beauty products stack up in the market, one fact that even our past generations will agree to is, fruits are natural beauty enhancers. And what's better, they are inexpensive too. Now you need not wonder what to do to get that awesome glow on your skin or lustre to your hair. Instead just refer to the list below: 

Bananas: Rich in potassium and Vitamin A, C and E, bananas are one of the best fruit for skin and hair (help restore dull and damaged hair). While Vitamin A restores natural oils of the skin, Vitamin E repairs damaged skin and lightens age spots. Vitamin C, on the other hand, prevents cell oxidation and appearance of wrinkles. 

Apples : This fruit has been used as a beauty aid for decades. A cup of apple juice added to your bath will cleanse and soothen your skin. Apple juice applied to your scalp helps prevent dandruff. A final rinse of your hair with apple juice after shampooing brings about an added shine. Apples are also a good conditioner and toner, and helps fight acne. 

Pineapple: A great skin emollient, pineapples help rejuvenate and cleanse the skin. Rubbing a slice of pineapple on spots like knees, elbows and heels helps soften the skin. It can also act as a loofah or sponge while taking a shower. 

Lemons: Lemons are known to be used to cleanse both the skin and hair. Dandruff can be prevented when lemon is rubbed on the scalp. Adding two teaspoons of lemon juice in your bath not only deoderises the body but also keeps it fresh. Lemon rinds, when rubbed on scars, acne or dark spots, helps heal. Rubbing lemon slices on rough areas of heels and elbow, to soften it. 

Papaya : Rich in vitamin A and enzymes, papayas act as a great exfoliater. Mashed papaya, when applied to the face, is a great way to rub off dead skin and gives that glow to your face. 

Peaches : This fruit is best for dry skin. A combination of peach paste and yogurt applied to the skin and rinsed off with lukewarm water not only moisturises the skin but also leaves it supple and soft. 

Not just gorging on these yummy fruits, but also applying them on the skin and hair helps a lot. The next time you place your hands on that irresistible favourite fruit, take one of them to try it on your skin or your hair and feel the difference.
