Now it is fashionable to use natural cosmetics from your own garden or garden. This is quality and reliability. Autumn is the time for apples, which are beneficial for both dry and oily, young and aging skin. Moreover, apples are an affordable product in both summer and winter. Any apple face mask, regardless of the additional ingredients, is beneficial in its own way: the skin after the procedures becomes smooth, silky and radiant.
Useful properties of apple
Apples contain universal substances that:
- heal the skin and make the color brighter;
- fight the first wrinkles;
- reduce oiliness and treat acne;
- moisturize and nourish skin cells;

But apples are different from each other: the amount of vitamins and microelements is influenced by the variety, ripeness, place where the apple tree is grown and the storage conditions of the fruit. The pulp and juice are used for cosmetic purposes. Even rubbing the skin with a piece of this fruit gives a visible result. And the juice is used as a tonic.

Apple pulp mask - benefits for the face
The effectiveness of using an apple lies in the fact that the fruit contains many vitamins. It is a powerful antioxidant that removes harmful substances from cells, thereby preserving their structure. With its help, collagen is produced - a protein that naturally tightens the skin, making it elastic. Therefore, a mask made from the juicy pulp of the fruit is popular and effective.
Even a small part of an apple contains many microelements useful for humans - iodine, magnesium, iron and others.
Of particular value are salicylic and folic acid, which are found in large quantities in the fruit.
This rich composition is suitable for all skin types. The first visible effect is observed already on the third or fourth day of use.
Apple face masks:
- Improves metabolic processes in the skin;
- Clears away dead cells;
- Have a mild exfoliating effect equivalent to superficial chemical peeling;
- Tones and softens the surface of the face.

The mask is ideal for the facial skin of women over 40. It nourishes the skin well and eliminates wrinkles. This should be done at least twice every seven days.
To restore the natural color and freshness of the skin, rub your face with half an apple for about 10 minutes. This measure can to some extent replace the use of masks.
The bulk of the vitamins are contained in the peel. Therefore, in order to prepare a cosmetic product for the face, it is not always worth cleaning them.
To ensure that the face mask does not lose its healing properties, it must be prepared immediately before application. When exposed to air, applesauce oxidizes, thereby losing quality.
To get the maximum benefit from your face mask, use homemade, naturally grown apples. Fruits brought from other countries are treated with preservatives so that they do not spoil on the road. This measure reduces the effectiveness of the “tasty”
masks.
Due to the high concentration of vitamin C, those with hypersensitive or damaged skin should not do such procedures.
