Fruits That Benefits Skin!
And these are the key bits to remember. Fruits for glowing skin are;
- Low in sugars
- Have a low glycemic index
- Low glycemic load
- Packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (which most fruits don’t have to try too hard to tick off)
- Have healthy fibre (aka are in their whole raw form rather than being juiced – if you have to chew, you’ve got fibre sorted)
Pomegranate juice can work wonders for your skin. It can heal lines and freckles on being used regularly. The fruit contains polyphenols that counter free radicals and increase blood flow. It makes your skin healthy through detoxification. Pomegranates can prevent as well as treat skin damages caused by ultraviolet rays of the sun. The peel of the fruit is used along with seed oil, encourages cell growth and hinders wrinkles naturally. It averts enzymes, which break down collagen and make your skin look younger.
Strawberries
Bright red summer loving fruits for glowing skin – gotcha. Strawberries are low in glycemic index and very low in glycemic load meaning their sugar is slow release – wahooo. As for claim to fame, our heart-shaped bursts of goodness are a top source of phenolic antioxidants – a group of very potent antioxidants associated with great health. In fact strawberries have 2 to 11 times more phenolic antioxidants than most other fruits. Powerful stuff.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a potent antioxidant to protect skin from UV damage, says Zeichner. In fact, a study in the British Journal of Dermatology found participants who ate five tablespoons of tomato paste daily showed 33 percent more protection against sunburn than a control group.

"This vegetable is orange thanks to high levels of beta-carotene, which is a precursor to vitamin A … which also happens to be a form of the main active ingredient in Retin-A," says Baumann. "This vitamin has been found to decrease the skin's oil production, and there's also some evidence that it can improve psoriasis."
