A Thanksgiving Feast for Your Skin! Everyone loves a good Thanksgiving dinner, but ever wonder what other benefits can be found in our favorite holiday foods? Here are a few of our favorite feast ingredients that have fantastic skin care properties and are found in many of the skin care productsS that we carry! Pumpkin: Rich in many nutrients including Vits A, C , E; zinc and beta carotene, the lowly pumpkin provides super anti-oxidant protection for the skin. Pumpkin also contains a natural exfoliation benefit to the skin to help unblock pores and reveal a more radiant and even skin tone. Products containing pumpkin can also help to soothe and protect sensitive skins. Known to be able to reach deep into pores and be absorbed quickly, pumpkin can also be a great carrier for other skin care ingredients. Cranberries: A “super fruit� that is rich in Vit. C, B3, and B5 the cranberry is a great anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial; and anti-septic skin care ingredient. It also provides enhanced cellular renewal for antiaging benefits. Great for all skin types, but exceptional benefits are reaped when used by acneic skins due to the anti-bacterial and antiinflammatory aspects of the fruit. Pomegranate: Contains a super anti-oxidant to defend the skin from free radicals which cause premature aging. Pomegranate seed oil also
has the ability to soothe, protect and moisturize dry, cracked, and irritated skins while promoting cellular regeneration. Truly a super food! Sweet Potato: Found to be rich in beta carotene, Vit. A, and hyaluronic acid, sweet potato extracts can have many skin care benefits. Vit A is long known for its cell renewal properties, improving collagen productio and evening skin tone and texture. Hyaluronic acid is referred to as a moisture binder and can hold 1,000 times its weight in water giving the skin increased elasticity, radiance, and comfort. Carrots: One of the most reviving and regenerating natural oils, carrot oil helps to improve skin tone and to reduce toxic build-up in the skin. Vits B, C, D, and E make it extremely good for dry aging skins. The carotenoids in carrot oil also help to protect the skin from UV rays. The carrot! A true skin care hero! So, although we are more familiar with the above foods on our Thanksgiving tables than in our beauty care products, look for these wonderful, natural skin care ingredients and have a feast for your skin!!
