Grapefruit is loaded with natural antioxidants that help defend the skin from free radicals. However, environmental toxins and sun exposure can cause free radicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree radicals can cause the natural \u003ca href=\"\/products\/collagen-soluble-liquid\" title=\"Cross-linked Collagen\"\u003ecollagen in our skin to cross-link\u003c\/a\u003e, which can cause lines and wrinkles. However, when free radicals are neutralized, the skin can recover from recapturing a youthful appearance. With regular application, grapefruit can help protect from any further premature aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an anti-inflammatory, grapefruit plays a two-fold role. Not only does it assist in wiping out any redness caused by environmental irritants, but it also helps minimize blemishes and scrapes from time to time by increasing blood flow to the application areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blood then begins to help any skin tears or wash away the irritating chemical. Irritants can come from a cosmetic or maybe a pollutant in the air. The skin can return to a more natural and clear appearance as the blood carries away the irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do not have sensitive or irritated skin, you can rub some grapefruit juice onto a pimple. It will help wick away any redness and allow the skin to eliminate the infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapefruit is often used in cleansers and toners, effectively cleaning the skin without over-drying. When used in a scrub, it helps to slough away dead skin cells and promote smooth-looking skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, we also see grapefruit used in cosmetics as a preservative.
