Mandarins are fruits of an evergreen shrub native to Asia, originating in the forests of China, and cultivated abundantly in Japan, China, and India. This brightly colored fruit resembles a common orange in shape but are smaller in size and come with a thin peel.
Mandarins are rich in vitamins A, B12, C, and E along with nutritive minerals like iron, carotenes, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. The tangy fruit also exhibits superior astringent, antiseptic, and antioxidant qualities to greatly improve skin tone and texture. An antioxidant powerhouse, Mandarin protects the skin from harsh UVA rays and helps the skin to resist damage caused by the sun, free radicals, and pollutants. It also helps to reduce the signs of aging by helping to boost collagen to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and combat blemishes and redness.
With strong antibacterial properties, Mandarin helps to prevent acne and blackheads while aiding in the visual reduction of scars and discoloration and boosting skin brightness. As a gentle astringent, Mandarin has the ability to help prevent infection of irritated skin by preventing bacterial and fungal development. Mandarin also promotes the growth of new skin cells and tissues to help heal wounds and balance skin tone while improving elasticity.
