Which fruits for a fresh and luminous complexion?
The lemon

Which fruits for deeply nourished skin?
The lawyer
Avocado is synonymous with comfort. With its essential fatty acids, it deeply nourishes and soothes the skin. The hydrolipidic film replenishes its lipid reserves and strengthens its barrier function. Often used as an oil, avocado is the star fruit of the Winter is Coming mask. This intensely nourishing sheet mask gives dry skin the softness and suppleness it craves. In 15 minutes flat, it immerses the skin in a cocoon with invigorating notes of rhubarb, rose, and orange blossom.
Coconut
Nourishing, moisturizing, and softening, coconut is ideal for dry and damaged skin prone to feelings of tightness, chapping, and even cracks. Its vitamin A and E content helps soothe redness and feelings of overheating, making it a fruit of choice for after-sun care. Coconut is often found in the form of butter or oil in cosmetics. With organic coconut oil, the Generous Comfort Balm deeply nourishes and repairs dry to very dry skin. Its generous texture melts gently into the skin without leaving a greasy finish. The epidermis regains absolute comfort.
Which fruits smooth out wrinkles?
Red fruits
Strawberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, and raspberries are a major anti-aging asset. These red fruits derive their benefits from their color! Indeed, anthocyanins, responsible for their natural red hue, promote skin cell regeneration and skin repair. These pigments, aided by the polyphenols also present in red fruits, give the epidermis a boost in fighting skin aging.
The orange
With its moisturizing and antioxidant properties, orange provides the skin with a vitamin-rich facelift. It slows the deterioration of skin cells associated with aging and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. Orange relaxes and soothes the skin. Rich in vitamin C, it boosts collagen and elastin synthesis for plumped, firmer, and more toned skin.
Which fruits purify the skin?
The tomato
We enjoy it in salads, sauces, or even juices, but we often overlook its benefits for the skin. Tomatoes are purifying. Their acidity helps clear blackheads and other small imperfections, while their vitamin A and C content helps reduce excess sebum. Extremely hydrating, tomatoes are packed with minerals that improve the firmness and radiance of facial skin.
Grapefruit
Rich in vitamin C and minerals, grapefruit is the ultimate detox citrus fruit! That's why it's ideal for combination to oily skin. Antiseptic, astringent, and toning, it limits excessive sebum production. Grapefruit cleanses the skin. It promotes a more even complexion and a more even texture. This significantly improves skin quality.
