Berry Superfoods for Your Skin

Today we are going to explore two vitamin and antioxidant-rich ingredients (cranberry and goji berry) that work as superfoods for the skin.

CRANBERRY
Cranberries might be the best known of the three. But, did you know that cranberries provide:

Vitamin A - which is known for its anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Skincare products with cranberry extract or cranberries as the main ingredient can also help soothe irritation and be a great option for sensitive skin.

Vitamin E - which is a powerful antioxidant - our skin needs antioxidants to combat free radicals. Free radicals are known for causing oxidation and UV damage to the skin barrier.

Vitamin C - which has natural brightening properties. Along with salicylic acid, also found in cranberries, Vitamin C helps bring glow. It also helps support firmer skin.

Essential Fatty Acids - which help firm and tighten skin and give a more youthful look.

Antibacterial Properties - these make cranberries great for skin experiencing redness, acne, and other skin conditions caused by bacteria.

GOJI BERRY
These berries have:

Antioxidants - Goji berries are rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin C, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin. These powerful compounds help neutralize free radicals, which can cause oxidative stress and contribute to premature aging, wrinkles, and sagging skin. By protecting your skin from these harmful molecules, goji berries can help maintain a youthful, glowing appearance.
Collagen production - the high Vitamin C content in goji berries is critical in collagen synthesis. Collagen is a protein responsible for maintaining your skin's elasticity and firmness. By helping increase collagen production, goji berries can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, keeping your skin looking smooth and supple.

Skin Hydration - Goji berries are a natural source of polysaccharides, which enhance skin hydration and improve its barrier function. By retaining moisture and reducing water loss, goji berries can help combat dryness and promote a soft, well-hydrated complexion.

Reduces inflammation - Thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties, goji berries can help soothe irritated, inflamed skin. Incorporating goji berries into your skincare routine may help minimize acne breakouts.

Brightens and Evens Skin Tone - The Vitamin C and beta-carotene in goji berries can help brighten your skin and complexion. These nutrients can give your skin a radiant glow and help to support cell renewal.

Helps Protect Against UV Damage - While it's essential to use sunscreen daily, incorporating goji berries into your skincare routine can help to support an additional defense against sun damage and the resulting signs of aging.

The remarkable benefits of goji berries for the skin cannot be overlooked. From providing potent antioxidant protection to boosting collagen production and enhancing skin hydration, these small yet powerful fruits can transform your skincare routine and give you the glowing, youthful complexion you desire. By selecting skincare products that contain goji berry extract, you can unlock the full potential of this incredible superfood. To get more goji try our Superfood Smoothie Mask.
