A dragonfruit a day keeps the wrinkles at bay
January 29th, 2009
It seems that every time I go online to browse the specials at SkinStore.com I come across a skin care product that boasts its use of exotic fruits and vegetables.
Certainly ingredients like grapefruit seed extract and cucumber are better than methylparaben and C9-15 Fluoroalcohol Phosphate.
One of the latest raves is an extract from the dragon fruit. Israeli Biotechnology Research (IBR) says that the dragron fruit has natural UV protection properties and has the effect of making the skin feel tighter and stronger. More importantly, the dragon fruit helps to slow down cell proliferation allowing for the skin to look younger (fewer wrinkles and fine lines) too.
The dragonfruit is commonly eaten in Asia and is recognizable by its pink color on the outside, the white melon on the inside, and the black seeds that make the fruit polka-dotted.
I have yet to try a product containing dragon fruit extract, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has used the dragon fruit in their skin fitness regimen.
