‘Cocoa, banana and mulberry moisturize the skin from deep within and help to deal with skin dryness. These fruits are loaded with antioxidant properties and also prevent aging.’
Vaseline skincare expert Aparna Santhanam said, "Cocoa butter contains fatty acids, which improves skin moisture retention and elasticity. It is effective both as an every day moisturizer for all skin types and in easing skin problems such as eczema. It is also very effective when used on difficult areas like elbows, knees and ankles as it reduces dryness." Santhanam further added, "As a moisturizer on various skin types, cocoa butter works on all skin types but is particularly effective for normal to dry and very dry skin. Cocoa butter as a daily moisturizer helps to even skin texture and leave skin feeling smooth. It is rich in anti-oxidants, omega 3 and omega 6. These are all good anti-aging, stretch mark and anti-scar ingredients."
Disha Meher, national expert - skin and nails, Lakmé Salon, said, "It is advisable that women opt for fruit-based products and services, especially fruits such as banana, apples, and oranges that are rich in vitamins, potassium and iron. In fact, banana is one of the best fruit moisturizers and is known to nourish and revitalize skin."
