Peaches & Beauty
Mouthwatering peaches have been a centuries-old favorite of any wise beauty who wanted a youthfully dewy complexion. Today we know that peaches are rich sources of skin-renewing alpha-hydroxy fruit acids which help to slough off dead cells, and vitamins A and C to nourish new ones, all of which help skin to look more vital. Peach juice unclogs pores, banishes blemishes, lightens age spots, and reduces wrinkles, giving skin a fresher and more vital appearance.
We have collected the sweetest crop of peachy ideas ever, and every single one tastes and smells divine. Fabulous formulas for attaining the classic “peaches and cream” complexion, right here:
Two Easy Peach Tricks
1. Just pick a fresh, juicy peach, cut a slice from it, and rub the slice on your face. Leave the juice on for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
2. After you’ve peeled peaches for a pie, save those skins to save your own! Before bed, just massage your face gently with the inside of the peach peelings for a few minutes and then go to sleep. The astringent sag-busting action of the peach juice will give you firmer, fresher skin in the morning.
