Apples contain important nutrients such as vitamin A, C, B1 and B2 as well as minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, iodine and selenium that can be easily absorbed by the body. Apples are ideal if you want to lose weight or do a cleanse diet as they have few calories, suppress appetite and stimulate digestion. They are also good suppliers of energy because they are rich in natural sugars such as fructose, glucose and sucrose. Apples are thus a natural elixir for both your health and beauty thanks to their many beneficial properties.

Beauty blogger Itiah Breschi writes: “Val Venosta Apples are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are thus not only a delicious and healthy food, but are also perfect for preparing excellent skin and hair treatments. This facial mask leaves your skin looking vibrant again and is perfect for tired and stressed skin. As soon as you remove the mask, your skin feels firmer and tighter, naturally moisturized and more luminous. The addition of cinnamon with antibacterial properties helps against impurities of the skin such as pimples and black spots and leaves a heavenly scent in combination with apples. When mashing the apple wedges you will notice that you will not only get flesh, but also juice. Make sure you don’t drain the flesh. The juice is not only a precious ingredient for your mask but also helps to give the right consistency and fluidity to the mask.”
