Apricot is simply miraculous for your health but also for your skin . This fruit adorned with an orange velvet dress owes its virtues to its composition, which is vitamin-rich to say the least.

It also contains polyphenols , which, thanks to their extraordinary antioxidant power, act as a shield against free radicals , thus protecting the skin from aging and sagging . This summer fruit also contributes to cell division for effective skin regeneration . The fatty acid content of the pulp helps maintain the hydrolipidic film that envelops the skin , which softens it.
