In every fruit peel lies a wealth of nutrients that boost beauty naturally. They are loaded with antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids. These help to shield your skin from harm caused by the environment. Plus, the acids in fruit peels, like citric acid and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), softly scrub away old skin cells, unveiling a fresher, brighter glow.
