Did You Know |
Peaches, plums and nectarines contain large amounts of
alpha-hydroxy acids, or AHAs. AHAs are a buzzword in the world
of exfoliants. Like most 'discoveries' AHAs, in one form or another,
have actually been used for centuries. The gentle exfoliation
of fruit peels speeds up cell renewal, leading to healthier skin
tone. The AHAs in these fruits help soften wrinkles, sun spots,
age spots, blemishes and can even unclog pores. Source: Eat

Oatmeal is highly absorptive, hypoallergenic, and helps

the cereal grains (amino acids work as water-binding agents in
skin care products). Oats have also been clinically shown to
help heal dry, itchy skin. Oat grains and straw appear in shampoos,
dusting powders, moisturizers, and cleansing bars and more. Source:
