Nearly all the women want to have white, glowing and healthy skin. Do you know fruits can make you glow in more ways than one? Natural fruits have been found useful for healthy and beautiful skin. Believe it or not, when it comes to your skin, fruit is a natural way to ensure it stays glowing and healthy.


It has long been known that fruits for skin care have been used for centuries to help your skin retain a beautiful healthy glow whilst reversing the signs of aging. Compiled of effective natural acids and high levels of anti oxidants, the following are considered the "Best Skin Care Fruits" one can apply to the face and body.

1. Papayas

"A papaya contains the enzyme papain, making it an excellent cleanser. It also helps revive blemished and undernourished skin. It is particularly good for oily skin and also lightens skin colour," says beauty expert Shahnaz Husain.

  • Use ripe papaya pulp as it is or mix with oatmeal, honey or curd and apply on your face for 10 minutes.
  • Rinse off with cold water when dry.
  • Put a mix of papaya and cucumber pulp under the eyes to minimise dark circles.

2. Apples

"Apart from vitamins and minerals, apples also contain pectin and tannin that help tone and tighten the skin and improve blood circulation. Apples are specially effective for those with sensitive and fair skin," says natural beauty expert Suparna Trikha.

  • To take care of sunburnt skin, add a teaspoon of glycerine to apple pulp (grate the apple or put in mixie) and apply on your face for fifteen minutes. 
  • Wash off with cold water.
  • For tired and undernourished skin, mix two teaspoons of grated apple, two pieces of mashed papaya, one teaspoon of fresh cream and a teaspoon of China clay. 
  • Apply the mixture to a clean face and leave for 15 minutes. 
  • Wash off with cold water for healthy looking skin.

3. Bananas

"Fresh, ripe bananas make excellent face masks. Bananas don't only tighten and cleanse pores, they also revitalise dry skin," says Dr Shobha Sehgal, head of business, day spa and beauty zone, VLCC.

  • Mash two ripe bananas with a tablespoon of honey. Smooth over the face and leave for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Rinse with cold water to reveal soft, supple and hydrated skin.

4. Oranges

"The citrus family is best known for its astringent and toning properties. Rub fresh orange peel on your skin to tighten it and lighten the colour," says beauty expert Shahnaz Husain.

  • Take the juice of two oranges and freeze it in an ice tray. 
  • Rub your face with the frozen orange juice cubes whenever you need to look good after a tiring day. The orange juice will give your tired, dull and oily face an instant pick-me-up sheen.

5. Pomegranates

"Pomegranates are excellent for oily and combination skin. Rich in AHA, pomegranate juice acts as an astringent and is a natural toner too," says Suparna Trikha.

  • Pound pomegranate seeds and use as a face scrub. This will remove excess oil and make your skin look fresh.
  • Using cottonwool, massage around 50 ml pomegranate juice on your face for 10 minutes. 
  • Wash off for an instant glow.

Important Steps Towards Safe And Effective Skin Whitening



The quest for whitening your skin, never rely only on a skin whitening or bleaching product alone. Whitening skin care of hyperpigmentation problems (uneven skin tone, age spots, freckles, dark underarms, melasma, dark acne scars, dark knees, elbows or inner thighs) needs a little more cares and it's really easy.

Here are few tips that you should take into consideration to make your skin whitening treatment a success.



1. Only use potent and safe skin lightening products.


Potency is the concentration of active skin whitening ingredients in a product. Most commercial over-the-counter skin lightening remedies have small or insignificant potency that little or no results are seen.

Price is not a factor to determine the effectiveness of a product, and does not logically represent a more effective skin bleaching treatment if more expensive.

Buy from a source that you trust, has good reviews, and well recommended by satisfied users.

Safety is the most important issue, because your skin is the only one you’ve got. There are three harmful skin whitening ingredients and the alert is discussed in detail here in 'hydroquinone side effects'. Never use the skin whitening products that contain any hydroquinone, mercury or steroid in them.

*ROYAL EXPERT PRODUCTS ARE REGISTERED UNDER NATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL CONTROL BUREAU (NPCB), MALAYSIA TO ENSURE THE PRODUCTS ARE SAFE, EFFECTIVE AND OF QUALITY FOR THE LOCAL MARKET


2. Use with your favorite moisturizers.


This is one of the best tips in skin whitening, especially for those with dry skin.

This step is recommended because the skin whitening/bleaching process involves skin peeling (exfoliation), which is drying to the skin. The drying effect is necessary to peel off the dark unwanted skin layer.

Remember that skin lighteners are formulated for skin lightening, not moisturizing.

Using your favorite moisturizers will bring about a better, rosy, hydrated, lightened skin tone. The resurfaced (exfoliated) fresher skin absorbs moisture best.

Apply your moisturizers about 10-15 minutes after the skin lightening products.


3. Wear a good sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays at daytime.


Did you know that not all sunscreens block the sun’s UVA and UVB rays? These two are different, as the UVA rays are responsible for aging, tanning and wrinkling of our skin, while the UVB rays causes sunburn.

When buying sunscreen, look for ingredients such as Parsol 1789 (at 3% not 2%, also known as Avobenzone), Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide or Mexoryl-Sx.

If you choose the higher SPF, the better protection you get. Keep in mind that sunscreen is a MUST whether you’re in a skin whitening treatment or not. It is your best cover against sun damage and skin cancer, especially between the hours of 10am-3pm.


4. Take a daily dose of Vitamin C supplement.


Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is a potent anti-oxidant that also encourages the production of skin collagen. As a result, the skin becomes stronger and the complexion gets more even. Some studies show that a daily intake of 500-1000 mg of Vitamin C supplement can enhance the skin’s suppleness and clears skin for a brighter effect.


By following the above steps, your dream to get a brighter and glowing skin will become reality soon. And say goodbye to all skin discolorations.

Causes And Remedies For Dark Skin



Dark skin can be a disastrous for people who craving for a fair complexion. There are numerous reasons for discoloration of the skin. Discoloration of the skin is basically a problem with the skin's pigmentation. Normally your skin should be an even color to be considered healthy skin. Your skin can have light spots or dark spots, known as hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, respectively. These issues are not usually bad for your health, but they can be annoying for people who suffer from them. Melanocytes in our skin form melanin which colors our skin. Everyone has the same amount of Melanocytes in their skin, but there are certain skin factors that determine how many of these Melanocytes are active. People with lighter skin will have less of them active than darker skinned people.


Causes of Dark Skin

Following are some of the most common dark skin causes:
  • Heredity - People who have a dark skin often have children who are dark-skinned too. The genes seem to pass on from generation to generation.
  • Hyper Pigmentation - In this condition the skin produces too much of the pigment melanin, causing the skin to become darker than usual.
  • Skin Disorders - Conditions such as Lichen Simplex Chronicus is a skin disorder that causes severe itching that leaves the skin thick, dark and patchy.
  • Sun Rays - Over exposure to sun causes the skin to tan. This is a natural mechanism, wherein to protect itself from the harmful UV rays of the sun, the skin produces more of the pigment melanin which shields the penetration of UV rays into the skin.


Diet for Dark Skin

Although there are no particular foods that will lighten your skin instantly, a balanced diet definitely helps by giving your skin a healthy glow. Drinking an optimum amount of water hydrates your skin and keeps it blemish free. Some recommendations regarding diet are as follows

  1. Avoid excessive consumption of heavy and oily foods.
  2. Incorporate whole cereals, pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
  3. Drink at least 4-5 liters of water every day. Water washes out the toxins from the body.
