Natural Skin Care

Apples contain malic acid, which can help to slough dead skin cells. Why not freeze apple juice in an ice cube tray and then grab a cube in the morning and gently rub it over your face, including the eye area. You’ll exfoliate dead skin cells while the chill will help to reduce any swelling around your eyes.

Other apple facts: Cortland apples taste great in chopped salads and they won’t oxidize and brown too quickly when exposed to air. Honey crisp apples are truly sweet and are great cubed and mixed with yogurt. Granny Smith apples are great for dipping in dark melted chocolate. McIntosh apples go great with fat free slices of cheese and low sodium, low fat turkey slices.
