Nourish your inner and outer beauty with superfoods from the rainforest

 

Acai the small superfruit from the Brazilian Amazon, very rich in natural nutrients and antioxidants.[/caption] The term 'superfood' has been passed around a lot lately and assigned to a wide array of ingredients - it is definitely becoming difficult to know if this label is warranted or not! We've decided to set the record straight and delve into some of our favourite ingredients that are definitely 'super' - Amazonian Acai Berry and native Australian Lemon Myrtle. 

Amazonian Acai Berry This is one berry that has truly earned the 'superfood' label. Packed full of nutrients and antioxidants, the perks are many. Known to boost energy levels and the immune system, acai berries also have anti-inflammatory properties, as well as being seriously delicious. When applied to the skin, you can expect all of these amazing benefits:

• The potent mix of antioxidants means acai is perfect at providing age-defying solutions. It will keep your skin glowing and fresh by limiting the amount of damage inflicted by free radicals, kicking that dull look out of the park.
• While time and exposure can easily diminish the potency of antioxidants, the nature of acai berry makes it have long-lasting effectiveness. It has shown to remain active and present were other ingredients have failed.
• Packed with Vitamin C, B, and E, acai will nourish and renew your skin while boosting its nutrient levels. Moisture retaining, firming and rejuvenation is what you can expect from these vitamins. This also means that it works well for sensitive skin.
• Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids will reinvigorate dry and dull skin. Use acai to bring yourself back to that youthful, dewy skin that glows from within by balancing your fatty acid levels.
• Acai will also even help to even out hyperpigmentation, reducing the number of dark patches on the skin.
