The Skincare Super Heroes

By Amy Lawrenson

Superfoods have been touted as wonder fruits and vegetables with unsurpassed health benefits. Now, there's a whole host of beauty products containing superfoods, ranging from the popular pomegranate and acai to the more unusual manuka honey and argan oil, that promise to protect and improve your skin when slotted into your daily beauty regime.

While there is no official list of 'superfoods', those bestowed the name tend to be foods high in antioxidants. We know antioxidants are good at battling free radicals when ingested, but are these superfoods as effective when sloughed onto the skin?

Here ELLE explores 12 beauty brands harnessing these super ingredients and why they really do work.

Korres

A Greek company, Korres pride themselves on using natural ingredients with a purpose. Plenty of the brand's products contain olive oil which is high in antioxidants and thought to be one of the reasons why Mediterranean people live longer as it's a key ingredient in their diet. It is, however, high in calories so it makes perfect sense to slather it on your skin more regularly than your food. Try their Wild Rose 24-hour Moisturising Cream, £19, which contains Olive Oil; Kylie Minogue is a fan, maybe that’s her secret to looking so young?

Another superfood the brand uses is pomegranate. "Pomegranate extract is a rich source of tannins and vitamins (A, C, E). One pomegranate contains three times the antioxidant properties of red wine or green tea. This high level of antioxidants is effective in combating free radicals that cause premature ageing of the skin cells." Explains Lena Korres, the brand's Director.

Pomegranate extract also tightens the pores and strengthens the epidermis of the skin thus being ideal for oily and combination skin. Its Pomegranate Cleansing Mask, £16 is a great buy for problem skin as it works to reduce pore size and regulate sebum production thanks to the Zinc.
