Summer brings with it a wealth of scents, and seasonal fruits are the most colorful and fragrant! Melon, watermelon, peaches, and cherries all help keep you hydrated, and their sugary pulp provides all the minerals and nutrients needed to combat the heat. Apricot, however, is our skin's favorite, thanks to its countless uses and benefits, all waiting to be discovered!
APRICOT: PREPARE FOR SUMMER WITH A FRUIT
Apricots owe their beautiful orange color to their high content of carotenoids, plant pigments of lipid origin, which are characterized by their vibrant red, orange, and yellow hues. They also act as photoprotective agents, shielding our bodies from excess sunlight. They also contain vitamins and minerals, potassium, sugars, and fiber, all essential for flawless skin and repairing sun damage. A delicious fruit to eat, it's also widely used in cosmetics to keep skin supple and radiant.
APRICOT KERNEL OIL: THE BENEFITS
Cold-pressed apricot kernels produce an oil used in both food and cosmetics. This powerful antioxidant protects the skin from free radicals and oxidative stress. Elasticizing, emollient, and protective, apricot oil is particularly recommended for dry skin and is a natural anti-wrinkle agent that prevents the signs of aging. In summer, thanks to the presence of phytosterols, it helps improve skin microcirculation and strengthen the skin's protective barrier against UV rays.
APRICOT KERNEL POWDER, A MAGIC POWDER
Apricot kernel powder can be used as a natural exfoliant for gentle exfoliation. This powder helps eliminate dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and deeply purifies it. An excellent ingredient for a body scrub, it's a must-have during the summer: exfoliating before sun exposure will make your tan more even and your complexion more radiant.
