Oranges and hyperpigmentation
January 23rd, 2009
A Skin Fitness Facts reader stopped by to share her experience of eating oranges and how it helped improve her hyperpigmentation (melasma)…
“Can I just point out that a month ago I fell ill with the flu. During that time I ate many oranges and I actually noticed a reduction in the melasma. My skin looked better than it had for years! I don’t whether this was related to the oranges or not, but I have not seen my skin like that for years!
Could there be a link between oranges and hyperpigmentation?”
To answer the question … yes, absolutely. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which is known for protecting the skin from free-radicals in the environment and it promotes collagen production.
Skin Fitness Facts covered this same topic in another post, “How many oranges does it take to remove melasma?” Check it out to learn how certain skin care products and nutrition can help improve hyperpigmentation and your skin’s fitness.
