People often say that you are what you eat, but it's equally true that you are what you put on your face. While it may be tempting to simply apply a slice of papaya directly to your skin, this approach is unlikely to yield the desired results. The effectiveness of fruit-based skincare products largely depends on how the ingredients are extracted. For instance, the leaves and herbs we handpick are freshly distilled on-site for each batch we create.
Different fruits offer a range of benefits, from brightening and hydration to anti-aging effects. Here are some ways to incorporate fruits into your skincare routine.
