Antioxidants for a youthful complexion
For a naturally beautiful complexion, you need to nourish skin from the inside by choosing the right foods. Antioxidants serve to neutralise those tiresome free radicals which accelerate the skin’s ageing. These toxic molecules are a by-product of the cells’ activities in the body. Their production is increased by smoking, stress and sun exposure.
You should up your intake of betacarotene in summer and also make sure you get more vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium, zinc and polyphenols in your diet. Most of these nutrients can be found in fruit and vegetables. By eating your five a day, you'll maximise the benefits for your health and beauty! These nutrients are essential in both summer and winter.
