Homemade fruit face pack
Payal Bhattacharya
Are you one of those who are extremely critical of “wasting” fruits directly on the face? After all, having a healthy diet with moderate amounts of fruit is good enough for your skin, right? Wrong. When we consume fruits, not all the nutrients and minerals are as effective on our skin. To get the full benefit of fruits, it is always a good idea to apply them directly to your face like a fruit face pack. Fruit face masks are free from chemicals and preservatives and are therefore perfect for all skin types. To top it off, fruit pulps contain a lot of minerals, vitamins, skin-whitening enzymes like tyrosinase as well as antioxidants that treat mature, blotchy skin as well as acne. In this article, we will talk about some homemade fruit packs for glowing skin and their recipes.
Here are 8 fruit face packs for glowing skin you can try
1. Papaya and Honey Face Pack
Procedure:
Papaya is packed with the goodness of Vitamin A and contains an enzyme called papain that has natural exfoliating properties. It also has some anti-inflammatory qualities that can help soothe irritated skin and also help cure acne. Papaya has also been believed to reduce premature aging as well as help reduce certain signs of aging. Honey also nourishes your skin thus making it more moisturized than ever before!
All you have to do is mash in 2 pieces of papaya with 1 tbsp of honey in a blender and then apply it generously over clean and dry skin. You can rinse off after 15-20minutes and follow it up with a moisturiser.
2. Kiwi and avocado face pack
Procedure:
Both kiwis and avocados are rich in minerals and antioxidants as well as VitC which helps fight the signs of aging by minimizing age spots and uneven skin tone. It will help boost collagen production which boosts skin elasticity and help rejuvenate the skin. Peel one avocado, one kiwi and blend it along with 1 tbsp of honey to make this paste. Use frequently for better results.
3. Banana face pack
Procedure:
Did you know bananas are a good source of VitB6, silica, potassium, and other nutrients that can help boost protection against hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Mix in half a banana, half a tsp honey as well as 1tsp lemon juice. This is a great hydrating face pack if you have dry and dehydrated skin. All you need to do is to mash in the banana and add lemon juice and honey to it.
4. Tomato face pack

Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like ascorbic acid as well as important enzymes like lycopene that help fight age spots and visible sun damage.
