Now it is fashionable to use natural cosmetics from your own garden or garden. This is quality and reliability. Autumn is the time for apples, which are beneficial for both dry and oily, young and aging skin. Moreover, apples are an affordable product in both summer and winter. Any apple face mask, regardless of the additional ingredients, is beneficial in its own way: the skin after the procedures becomes smooth, silky and radiant.
Useful properties of apple
Apples contain universal substances that:
- heal the skin and make the color brighter;
- fight the first wrinkles;
- reduce oiliness and treat acne;
- moisturize and nourish skin cells;
- lighten age spots with freckles.
But apples are different from each other: the amount of vitamins and microelements is influenced by the variety, ripeness, place where the apple tree is grown and the storage conditions of the fruit. The pulp and juice are used for cosmetic purposes. Even rubbing the skin with a piece of this fruit gives a visible result. And the juice is used as a tonic.
Salon massages
A massage performed by an experienced specialist can significantly slow down the aging process of the face. The most effective rejuvenating techniques are considered to be Jacquet massage and Spanish massage, well-known and loved by regular clients of beauty salons. Recently, a new massage technique has appeared - sculptural buccal facial massage. The procedure involves influencing the skin of the face not only from the outside, but also from the inside - the specialist performs manipulations in the oral cavity.
Despite the disadvantages (painful sensations), the result is noticeable after the first procedure. Therefore, buccal massage is in demand.

Baked apples: why they can be eaten even by those for whom fresh ones are harmful
For many people, especially the elderly and young children, large quantities of fresh apples are contraindicated. But even baked apples retain their beneficial properties and rich microelement composition. And most importantly, they retain a certain amount of fiber, which does not cause gas formation or any discomfort. They are even indicated in the diet for peptic ulcers. We are talking about those people who cannot consume fresh product. For them, baked apples are an alternative.
Green apples and their nutritional value
Baking apples makes their composition more tender, easily digestible, and all the microelements that are in the fresh product, with the exception of only some vitamins, are also present. Therefore, just in this case, we can eat baked apples or make puree from them. Making baked apples is quite simple. Take apples, remove the core, add honey, a little cinnamon and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes. After this, you can make puree in a blender. This delicacy is not only tasty, but also beneficial for your body and general condition.
Apples are a cheap product, but at the same time very beneficial for our health. Dried or sun-dried apples are very different in health from fresh ones. In terms of the amount of indigestible plant fiber, baked apples give 100 points to dried ones. During the drying process, the amount of vitamin C decreases, and the amount of calories increases. Nowadays, apples are prepared in special dryers, which even an ordinary person can buy in a store. Before drying, you can dip the apples in a lemon solution. Then they will turn white.
