Blueberry Facial Mask Guide
Blueberries primary benefits to skin include:
- Vaso-protective activity – Blueberries promote the health of capillaries (small blood vessels) that are located just beneath the epidermis. This can help to minimize flushing and redness associated with skin conditions such as rosacea
- Antioxidant activity – The polyphenols found in blueberries (anthocyanodins) are powerful inhibitors of free radical damage. Free radicals can cause significant damage to skin
- Iron-chelating activity – Although we are all too conscious of the
benefits of consuming sufficient iron, few of us realize that elevated
iron levels can lead to serious health risks including heart, brain and
muscle diseases as well as premature skin aging. Blueberries contain
polyphenols – quercetin and myricetin – which can chelate (bind) iron.
This property neutralizes iron and helps to minimize its involvement in the production of free radicals which can damage skin.
