Load up on Antioxidants and Enzymes

Antioxidants are good internally, but we can also benefit externally from these ingredients. When making homemade skin care treatments look for products loaded with enzymes and antioxidants like, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, papaya, pineapple, pumpkin, grapes, pomegranate juice, and raspberries.  Natural food enzymes, when applied to the skin over time, speed up exfoliation of dead skin cells on the surface, which then stimulates the growth of new skin cells.  Treat your spots with papaya pulp, pineapple or berry juice, simply dab your dark spot with a soaked cotton ball.  Eventual resulting in existing age spots gradually fading away.

Let’s all be our best from the inside and the outside.
