Does the raspberry hold the key to longevity and glowing skin? Maybe, some research says. That’s why your skin will love these DIY raspberry face mask and smoothie recipes.
So, read below to learn how raspberries fight aging and transform your skin, or skip to the raspberry face mask and smoothie recipes.
Raspberry: Benefits for Your Skin and Health
Raspberries offer a slew of health and beauty benefits. According to StyleCraze editor Ravi Tadimalla, raspberries contain flavonoids, fiber, and antioxidants that protect against diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
Plus, raspberries contain vitamin C, which boosts collagen, evens skin tone, relieves redness, and protects against wrinkles and environmental damage.
All these actions also make raspberry a potent anti-acne weapon.
Raspberries’ antioxidants also slow collagen breakdown, keeping skin looking younger for longer.
Another benefit? According to Tadimalla, raspberries contain anthocyanins, pigmented compounds that also lend color to blueberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants.
In addition, anthocyanins offer these benefits for your skin and health:
- slow aging
- fight inflammation
- protect against disease
- strengthen blood vessels and platelets
Even a little anthocyanin goes far. For instance, adding 0.2 milligrams of anthocyanins to your daily diet reduces heart disease risk for women 45 and older, says Tadimalla.
Better yet, you can enjoy all these health and beauty benefits by adding raspberries to your diet and skincare routine. So, why not double up on those raspberries and enjoy all this skin-friendly fruit has to offer?
Just whip up this DIY raspberry face mask and smoothie on your lunch break, and you’ll return to the office glowing.
