Dr Vincent explains why the humble Aussie apple can wipe years off your face
According to Australia’s leading apple expert, Dr Vincent, the humble apple is one of the world’s most misunderstood fruits.
“While the old adage, an apple a day will keep the doctor away is very true, an apple on your face a day will keep old age away, is also one of the most unknown benefits of apples,” Dr Vincent said.
Dr Vincent is a highly respected health and wellness expert, clinical nutritionist, food scientist, antioxidant researcher and founder of Renovatio Bioscience, a well-known Australian company that makes skin care, supplements and pantry products from 100 percent Australian apples. The products contain activated phenolics, the world’s most potent form of antioxidants capable of being rapidly absorbed by the body. The products are sold across Australia and overseas.
“Apples are one of the most beneficial and versatile fruits in the world. Not only are they good for your insides, they are also very good for your outsides,” Dr Vincent said.
“I have been researching the benefits of apples for many years and through my research at both the University of Newcastle and as the technical lead for product development and research, I have been able to identify the extraordinary range of benefits that the fruit is able to provide because of its unique composition, make-up and chemistry. The chemistry of an apple contributes to them being high in water, fibre, phenolic antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals including potassium and calcium.”
Dr Vincent recommends that everyone consumes at least one apple a day and has some spare for other important things such as supporting facial skin health as well as apple cider vinegar which is made from apples, particularly the activated type.
Dark circles under your eyes
“Dark circles under the eyes start to appear when the skin beneath the eyes becomes darker than usual. Dark circles under the eyes are usually more pronounced when you are tired. Other lifestyle factors can contribute to dark circles under the eyes including not getting enough sleep, smoking, drinking too much alcohol and stress,” Dr Vincent said.
“One of the best and easiest ways to treat dark circles is to apply fresh apple to the skin. Apples contain tannic acid or tannins that help reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. They also help to nourish and invigorate the delicate skin around your eyes.
“Put a few apples in the fridge. When you need them, cut a few thin slices, lay down on the sofa, place the apple slices over your closed eyes and relax for 20 minutes. You will be surprised how refreshing and uplifting they feel on your face. Try and do this every day for a few days.”
Tone and reinvigorate your skin
“Apple cider vinegar is also one of the most versatile products. Because of its high acidity level and natural ingredients, apple cider vinegar is considered by many beauty lovers to be one of the best facial toners on the market,”
“Used daily on the face it helps to correct the skin’s pH balance, stimulate skin renewal and remove excess oil. Over a period of time, the skin looks noticeably fresher and more toned. It is particularly helpful for the treatment of pimples and acne.
“Simply mix apple cider vinegar with equal parts water and dab on the skin morning and night.”
For optimum effect, Dr Vincent, recommends Renovatio Activated Apple Cider Vinegar.
Sumptuous lips
“Apple is also an excellent lip soother. If you have dry or cracked lips, or want to enhance the health of your lips, simply apply an apple lip balm to them morning and night,” Dr Vincent said.
“Finely grate an apple and mix the pulp with coconut oil in a small bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for a little while so the apple blends with the oil. The apple juices are full of goodness including activated phenolic antioxidants which will soothe, heal and invigorate your lips.”
Dr Vincent has dedicated his life to ensuring that the world benefits from the goodness of apples.
“Apples are so much more than a crunchy treat, they include health enhancing benefits that need to be enjoyed the world over. We grow the best apples right here in Australia, so we should be taking advantage of this super food, as a food, a supplement and a skin care product,” he said.
