As you know, in winter the choice of fresh vegetables and fruits on the shelves of shops and markets is significantly reduced. Accordingly, the choice of components for preparing a useful and effective face mask is also reduced . However, this time of year has its pluses, because with the first cold weather on the shelves of shops very beautiful and tasty, and most importantly, healthy berry - persimmon appears. It perfectly moisturizes, nourishes and tones the skin, which is especially necessary in the winter. Persimmon mask for the face can be prepared in many ways, which we will talk about in our article.
How useful is this berry?
The appearance of persimmons on store shelves we owe to China, where it has been grown since time immemorial. For cosmetic purposes, this fruit was first used by Japanese geisha, who appreciated the useful potential of yellow-orange fruits. Persimmon juice and pulp contain vitamins A and C, iodine, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, as well as proteins, carbohydrates and iron. In addition, this berry is rich in antioxidants. All this makes the fruit a very useful and versatile cosmetic product that tones, moisturizes, tightens and softens the skin.
Persimmon for the face: how to choose the right
The maximum benefit of the mask from this berry can be obtained only if you get the right fruit. So, in the selection process, you should not be guided by your taste preferences: after all, someone loves soft and slightly overripe persimmons, and someone - tart and a little bit too late. For cosmetic procedures, exclusively ripe fruits should be purchased, since only they have a complete set of vitamins and nutrients. Such berries have a dried tail, saturated orange-red color, smooth peel and delicate flesh.
