Recipes for homemade fruit-based cosmetics

Fruit-based cosmetics have a beneficial influence on the condition of the skin, they smell beautiful and the best thing is that you can do them yourself in the comfort of your own home. Discover recipes for homemade fruit-based cosmetics. 

Every fruit is a wealth of vitamins – each of which contains vitamins A, C and E, which are popular antioxidants. Lemon juice whitens skin discolourations, and grapefruit fights cellulite. The sugars contained in the fruit will soothe irritations and have an anti-inflammatory effect, and fruit acids reduce discolouration and scarring. These are just a few examples of the fact that fruits have a beneficial effect on the skin. You can buy fruit-based cosmetics or do them yourself. If you decide on the second solution, remember to choose fruit from your own garden or bought from a trusted manufacturer. Cosmetics made with GMO fruit can bring more harm than good.
