From red wine, berries, green tea and pomegranates, the variety of antioxidants that can be eaten,drunk or extracted and used in skincare is mind boggling. They are good for health and for skin because they help protect against free radicals, which, in a famous example, do the same thing to us that they do to a sliced apple. They oxidize it, turning it brown, and sending it quickly to..its eventual disintegration, otherwise known as ripe old age.

The sliced apple example has always resonated with people, but for some reason, until now, nobody was like, so what is it that keeps an apple from turning brown? Apple peels! Apple peels not only keep apples from turning brown, they keep them fresh and young looking for longer than practically any other fruit.

The research on whole apple peels' antioxidant power shows it's full of phenolic compounds, potent antioxidants, polyphenols, and more, all of which help to fight free radicals and keep us healthy.

Bottom line.. Eat apples for radiant skin!
