Cranberry Beauty Products That Are More than a Sweet Treat for Your Skin

We all know that one of the best parts of the holiday season is being able to dig into the bounty of holiday dishes that your friends and family bring to the table. One of the best sides that we’re always sure to spoon onto our plate is cranberry sauce. Of course, it tastes great, but believe it or not, cranberries can actually have incredible benefits for your skin as well.

While we’re not recommending you dig your hands into some cranberries from the grocery store and slather them onto your skin, their luxurious oil (you’ll see it on ingredients lists as cranberry seed oil) can work some serious magic on your complexion. It can be purchased by itself as a concentrated oil or used as an ingredient in your favorite moisturizers, masks, and serums.

This bitter fruit isn’t just used for making your skin-care products smell great (though it definitely does just that). Thankfully, when used in moisturizers, scrubs, masks, and more, it provides the skin with tons of antioxidants, which means protection against free radicals and other environmental stressors.

The main benefit of using cranberry seed oil on the skin? It absorbs so quickly and effectively—much quicker than other oils, thanks to its omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9. Your skin will literally soak up all the good stuff. It contains two forms of vitamin E (tocotrienols and tocopherols) that protect the skin, fatty acids that work to seep the beneficial parts of the oil into the skin and hydrate, and antioxidants for even more free radical protection.

Instead of your having to spend hours scouring the web for the best cranberry beauty products, we’ve done you a solid and gathered them all in the slideshow ahead. Click forward and you can say “goodbye” to dull, dry, sagging skin.
