Trash to Treasure - Skincare with Food Scraps

Gayatri Rauch | APR 13, 2021

Most of the produce that you eat can nourish the outside as well as it nourishes from the inside. Save the skins, juice and scraps of vegetables and fruits to use as facial and hand treatments -or on areas of skin that need extra attention. Cucumber 🥒 is hydrating and mildly astringent -relieving irritation and inflammation and reducing acne. -Rub the juice or inner side of the peels on your skin. Rinsing it off is optional. Lime or lemon 🍋 reduce hyperpigmentation, treat acne and infections. tighten pores and are rich in vitamin C, which has anti-aging properties. ☀️🏖 Stay out of the sun after applying lemon or lime juice to skin, as it can cause sunburn. -Apply the juice or inner peel to your skin and -rinse it off with cool water after ten minutes (earlier if it tingles) Avocado 🥑is moisturizing, softens skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and has a protective factor against environmental stressors. -Apply the mashed inner flesh of the avocado in a thin layer on face, hands and neck. When it starts to dry, rinse with lukewarm water. These are just a few examples -the inner peel of potato, apple, bell pepper, etc all have great healing and nourishing properties. They naturally supply the phytonutrients that are added synthetically to commercial skincare products. This is your simple skincare routine. Whenever you cook, save the peels and scraps to use on your skin. Just remember that natural products can still react with sensitive skin. So try a test run on a small area with each new fruit or vegetable before applying to the whole face.
