Top Ten Fruits For Healthy Skin

1. Lemon

        Lemons are natural bleaching agents. They are rich in vitamin C, a potent      antioxidant that helps flush out toxins and protect the skin from photodamage    and hyperpigmentation . So, if you have uneven pigmentation, dark spots, acne  scars,or keratinization, try using lemon to get glowing skin. 

2. Papaya

Papayas contain vitamins A, C, B, pantothenic acid, and folate and minerals such as copper, potassium, and magnesium. They also contain enzymes like papain and chymopapain that help prevent skin damage by free radicals and have antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Consuming papaya can help prevent constipation, which is one of the reasons for poor skin health. It can also help treat warts, eczema, corns, and cutaneous tubercles. Scientists have also found that papaya can help heal wounds and chronic skin ulcers. So, if you have digestive issues, scars, and pigmentation, you must include papaya in your diet and beauty regimen.

3. Avocado

Avocado is rich in healthy fats, dietary fiber, and vitamins E, A, C, K, B6, niacin, folate, and pantothenic acid. It has antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative damage, which, in turn, prevents DNA damage. Consuming avocado can promote healthy aging as it is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin that protect your skin from UV radiation. The healthy fats in avocados help retain the skin’s elasticity, reduce inflammation, and speed up wound healing.

4. Orange

The sweet, juicy, and pulpy orange has a vibrant color and intoxicating smell. This fruit can also work wonders for your skin. Like lemons, oranges too are rich in vitamin C – 100 grams of oranges contain 54 milligrams of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant. This means that oranges can help prevent oxidative damage, photodamage, DNA damage, reduce inflammation, and aid collagen synthesis. Now, let me tell you how to include oranges in your daily life.

5. Watermelon

Red, fleshy, watery, sweet, and refreshing – I just cannot get enough of watermelon. And what’s more, it is great for your skin too, especially if you have oily and acne-prone skin. Watermelon has dietary fiber (0.4%), water (92%), carbs (7.55%), sugar (0.4%), vitamins C, A, B1, and B6,  carotenoids, flavonoids, and lycopene. It has zero fat and is cholesterol-free. Lycopene helps in scavenging the free oxygen radicals and prevents skin damage. Water helps to flush out toxins and improve bowel movement.
