I really don't think that you'd be able to use the fresh extract directly onto your skin. This is because the fresh berry does not transport well at all and therefore what you do get are acai juices, powders and capsules. However, if you are talking about improving the quality of your skin from within, then acai extract is helpful. The fruit is full of antioxidants including Vitamin E. That's great news for the skin. These antioxidants will give your skin a glow. In addition, they also retard the signs of aging. You'll see fewer wrinkles and lines on your face!
