Candy hearts aren’t the only sweet pink treat to indulge in throughout February: It’s also National Grapefruit Month! With an aroma that’s guaranteed to offer a quick and citrusy burst of energy, grapefruit is the perfect addition to any winter beauty routine. Grapefruits are packed with beauty benefits that include vitamin C (for building collagen and keeping skin looking tight and young), citric acid (for exfoliating all of winter’s dead skin cells), and lycopene (a powerful flavonoid antioxidant, perfect for protecting skin from UV-ray damage!). We’re celebrating National Grapefruit Month with these five fruity (and wallet-friendly) products we love!
From the brand that says Yes to Carrots and Yes to Blueberries comes Yes to Grapefruit, a line targeted at lightening hyperpigmentation and correcting uneven skin tone. While we totally love the refreshing scent and the fact that dark spots diminish after a month’s use, we are head-over-heels for the price point! At just $9.99 for a tub of the Body Creme, we are definitely saying Yes to Grapefruit.

Known for some of the cutest anti-acne product commercials ever, Neutrogena has us falling in love with the Pink Grapefruit Collection for Acne-Prone Skin. My absolute fave? The Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes—a necessity for anyone with oily, breakout-prone skin. The grapefruit scent (while strong) is energizing, and the wipes remove all pore-clogging residue, without leaving skin feeling greasy. (I prefer to use these puppies in the summer when my skin basically becomes a sweat-factory.)

Dead skin got you down during the winter months? Well, not anymore! Slough it all away with Hugo Naturals Himalayan Pink Salt Scrub with grapefruit.
