Antioxidants and Skin Health
Antioxidants can be found in many fruits and veggies, especially berries. These components are the building blocks for ensuring healthy, smooth, and soft skin. Scientists have found that antioxidants can help the skin cells hydrated and aid in cellular renewal. More specifically, they can neutralize harmful byproducts to tissue cells called free radicals, which subsequently protect skin cells from damage. For instance, tomatoes contain lycopene, a type of antioxidant that would reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as fight against sun damage or sunburn that may result in skin cancer and wrinkles.
