Grapes are high in nutrients like vitamins A, C, and B6 along with antioxidants. The Antioxidants found in grapes are beneficial against aging of our skin against things like wrinkles and sun spots. Centuries ago grape leaves were used to fight inflammation while it was noted that unripe grapes were used to soothe sore throats.
Grapes aren't just good for us eaten, as they are beneficial externally as well. Grapes can even out skin tone and can moisturize it. Grape seeds contain an oil that people are using in skin care products. Grape seed extract is rich in antioxidants and contains 20 times the antioxidants of vitamin E and 50 times the antioxidants of vitamin C. Even the grapevine can be used because it contains anti-aging properties.
Grapes can be sliced and rubbed on skin, mashed up and applied to sit, or added to other ingredients. You can make a grape facial mask by adding honey and applying to a cleansed face or add it to olive oil. The seeds can be added to olive oil and used as a scrub too. So grab some grapes and apply to your skin or eat for all their bountiful benefits.
This is very interesting. I had not known that grapes could be used in this manner. I will check out some grape seed oil the next time I'm out shopping. I'll probably pick up some grapes as well.
