Recipes: Kiwi & Pomegranate Masque

Kiwi has it all. It contains Vitamin A, a free radical scavenger. Free radical scavengers help protect the skin from oxidation which causes skin to become dry and dehydrated. Kiwis have high amounts of Vitamin C, which is know to be effective against fighting fine lines and wrinkles, and stimulating collagen production. Large amounts of alpha-hydroxy acid, know to slough of tired dead skin cells living your skin younger and more radiant, and to stimulate collagen production producing smoother skin. If that wasn't enough, it has it own build in exfoliation with its gently seeds.
