This red-fruit beauty blend brings together nutrients that are often associated with healthy skin: the vitamin E in wheat germ, the omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed, and the vitamin C from red fruits. Vitamin C plays a role in tissue building and is needed for collagen, while the oleic acid in avocado (a monounsaturated fat) adds richness. A delicious way to nourish your skin from the inside.
