"If you find yourself enjoying one of autumn's most popular pastimes; apple picking- keep these skin healthy facts in mind: Apples contain antioxidants (vitamin compounds that scavenge and destroy free radicals) and minerals that fight aging, boost the immune system and protect against UV damage. Apples also have an astringent property to them, that is not only helpful to regulating sebum production but can also help your teeth from food and drink staining." - Chantal Monique"Pumpkin seed oil is rich in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. This skin healthy ingredient protects against free radical damage, heals acne and helps retain moisture levels." -Chantal Monique
