Apricots are rich in vitamin A and vitamin C. They contain huge amounts of iron, potassium and they protect your skin from the damaging UV rays.

They also contain vitamin B3 and vitamin B5, phosphorus, magnesium, water, fibers, healthy fats, oils and cellulose.

Many studies have shown that apricots have a positive influence on the cardiovascular system, slow down the aging process and stop the appearance of wrinkles.

To get a perfect tan for the summer, all you need is apricots.

Here’s what you’ll need to prepare the homemade, apricot tanning mask:

  • 5 apricots
  • 5 drops olive oil

Preparation:

Put the apricots in your blender and blend. Add the olive oil and keep on blending until the two ingredients are combined. Apply the mixture on your face and body. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes and then rinse it with warm water.

If you have dry skin, add 2-4 tbs. yogurt instead of olive oil.
