What It Does
Fig is rich in antioxidants that hydrate skin, reduce discoloration, soothe and smooth dry, irritated skin.
Why It Works
Figs contain high amounts of polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and vitamins, including vitamin A, C, B1, and B2. These antioxidant compounds neutralize free radical damage that lead to premature signs of aging. Additionally, figs help retain water in the top layers of the skin, increasing hydration and smoothing skin.
