Keeping a check on the diet is a prerequisite for healthy skin. Here is a list of 7 fruits that can lead to a healthy and glowing skin during winter
Winter is the time when your skin turns dry and dull. This is because the change in weather brings with it a change in metabolism. So, keeping a check on the diet is a prerequisite for healthy skin. Here is a list of 7 fruits that can lead to a healthy and glowing skin during winter.
1. Apples: Apple is one of the common fruits we eat during winter. An apple a day strengthens your immunity and keeps you healthy throughout the winter season. Apples are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that protect the skin from damage and bring a natural glow to the skin during the winter months.
2. Papaya: The fruit is rich in Vitamin A and papaine, two most important skin-repairing agents. Treat yourself with the goodness of papaya during winter months and reward yourself with a healthy skin.
3. Oranges: An orange is rich in fibre, Vitamin C, and calcium. Vitamin C also helps fight cold and flu during winter. An orange a day will help you get a healthy glowing skin. You can either have the whole fruit or as a glass of fresh juice.
4. Banana: Banana is rich in potassium, vitamins and fibre. Banana helps moisturise the skin, revitalise dry skin and keep it hydrated throughout the season. Eating a banana every day during winter also helps retain skin elasticity.
5. Pomegranate: The fruit helps clean pores, lowers the chance of developing fine lines and wrinkles and slows down ageing. Pomegranates help to keep the skin pores tight during winter. Combat dry skin during winter with one pomegranate a day.
6. Grapes: Grapes are a good source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage during winter. Grapes also contain potassium, an important agent that protects the skin from harmful UV rays and helps prevent wrinkles and ageing signs.
7. Guava: This is a good source of Vitamin A, C, lycopene and carotene, all of which help reduce the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Guava is also a good source of vitamin K, which treats acne, skin irritation and redness. It also promotes skin tone. Have one guava a day to keep away fine lines, skin dryness and dark circles.
