IF YOU APPLY FIGS TO YOUR FACE...
Although applying figs to the face is a relatively unknown practice, it has miraculous effects on the skin. Primarily, applying figs to the face rejuvenates the skin thanks to the abundant vitamin C and antioxidants they contain. It also smooths and brightens the skin.
On the other hand, applying figs to the face increases skin melanin by stimulating sebum production and promotes collagen. This prevents wrinkles and premature aging.
Applying figs to the face also evens out skin tone, removes sun spots and acne scars, and reduces dullness.
