Posted on May 8, 2018 in Food for Thought, Anti-Aging

Is your skin showing signs of aging? If it is, welcome to the club. The aging skin club is one that everyone is a reluctant and unwilling member of. Aging skin happens, but there are steps you can take to slow the process down.

Consume Foods Rich In Lycopene

Foods that are rich in Lycopene are helpful for improving your skin texture and increasing your collagen growth. Foods that are rich in Lycopene include red fruits and vegetables. You can also take vitamin supplements and use skin care products that have lycopene in them.

Search For Ways To Consume And Use Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a commonly known and used antioxidant. It is found in foods (such as avocado, broccoli and almonds). It also is in many skin care products. Using products that have Vitamin E in them and consuming foods rich in Vitamin E will boost your collagen and will result in the reduction of wrinkles, lines and age spots on your skin.

Incorporate Green Tea Into Skin Care Routine

Drinking green tea is beneficial for preventing cell damage. It contains approximately 30 percent polyphenols and large amounts of catechins, which are natural antioxidants.
