Spring is here! The perfect weather, everything is blossoming, and pastels are always in style.
What’s also in style? Seasonal fruits!
Which fruits are in season for spring?
Avocados 🥑, bananas 🍌, pineapples 🍍 and strawberries 🍓.
Blueberries and watermelon 🍉 are in season during the summer.
Tropical fruits—açaí, papaya & coconut 🥥—can be found in all seasons. Açaí and hearts of palm both come from the açaí palm tree 🌴.
Why am I making your mouth water with these specific fruits? Because the products and brands I’ve listed infuse these fruits in their facial products! 😍
You’ve added fruit to your eating lifestyle. Why not add it to your skincare routine? All that healthy goodness will end up in your bloodstream anyway. So not only is it good for your beautiful face, it’s good for your body.
Oh and if you're obsessed with superfoods, this beauty brands post will speak your language.

🌱 Our shelfie-worthy jars are designed to be repurposed, and are made with 20% recycled glass and are 100% recyclable (just please wash before recycling!). Upcycle them to store Q-tips, tweezers, or even some pretty flowers to brighten up your medicine cabinet

🌱 We always use glass packaging when possible (except when it's a safety concern, like with our travel-friendly and cleanser products)
Watermelon
The naturally sweet fruit is delicious, healthy, and hydrating. In fact, it’s made of 92% water and is jam-packed with protective vitamins A and C, skin-plumping amino acids, and the phytonutrient lycopene. It basically does it all: moisturizes, plumps and soothes, as well as helping to treat pores, flakiness, and fine lines and wrinkles.

“We were inspired by antioxidant-rich watermelon when creating our own skincare line. Growing up in Korea, our grandmothers used to rub watermelon rind on our skin in the summer to soothe and cool heat rash and irritation.” - Sarah & Christine, Co-Founders
Watermelon Sleeping Mask ➝ Sold out 7 times with a waiting list of 8,000. Sold every 3 minutes. Over 1,000 5-star reviews on Sephora. Find out why our Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask lives up to the hype.
Banana
Rich in magnesium and potassium, which restores water depletion, healing manganese, and the amino acid tryptophan. No wonder it’s the go-to fruit to rebalance the mind, skin, and body.
Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream
Pineapple
This tropical treat is one of the most potent sources of natural vitamin C, as well as exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and inflammation-fighting bromelain enzymes, helping to fight free radicals, stave off fine lines and wrinkles, smooth texture, lighten dark spots, and contribute to a brighter complexion overall.
Pineapple-C Bright Serum
Avocado
Avocado is a major skin saver as it works to deeply nourish the skin thanks to its high oleic and linoleic acids. These “dry oils” provide rich moisture without weighing the skin down.
Blueberry
This antioxidant-rich berry can help soothe damaging inflammation, helping to ward off sun damage, wrinkles, and age spots. Rich in anthocyanins, blueberries help preserve skin health and prevent the signs of skin aging.
