A beauty fruit basket

WE know the beauty bible preaches of the wonders that eating fresh fruit can do for your skin and while I'm partial to a pot of blueberry yoghurt now and then, I never thought of dabbing it on my cheeks. I'm not recommending you start smothering yourselves in fruit smoothies but those in the beauty business are certainly embracing the benefits of what lies within the fruit basket. We're all familiar with the Yes to Carrots brand and the latest in the range of organic fruit and veg products is Yes to Blueberries, which has specific anti-ageing properties. The range is aimed at firming up the skin and smoothing fine lines with powerful anti-oxidants found in blueberries. The range of day, night creams and serum is available form local pharmacies now. Meanwhile liven up your morning shower with some fruity delights from the Body Shop's latest range - Earth Lovers. The shower gels aren't simply silky soft and refreshing, they are 100 per cent biodegradable too. Try the zesty Lemon and Thyme to uplift your spirits or the fabulously fragranced Fig and Rosemary blend for a luxurious start to the day.
