Turning back the clock is something that is always on a woman’s mind, no matter what her age is. And if you are having the same thoughts, you’d be happy to know that you can naturally turn back those dials without having to use anti-aging beauty products.

Want to know more? Check out the following natural ways to look younger, and you will definitely embrace the results.

1 – Vitamin A, also known as retinol, protects against anti-aging, as it stimulates skin cell growth and builds collagen. Therefore, the consumption of food containing this vitamin, such as carrots and tomatoes, is essential.

2 – Citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime as well as strawberries, contain vitamin C – which is essential for the production of collagen in the skin.

3 – Nuts are rich in essential fatty acids, which when digested, support the essential fatty acids already present in the skin. The latter will help replenish collagen, naturally moisturize the skin and help promote skin firmness.

4 – Avocados contain both antioxidant Vitamin C and essential fatty acids and are therefore essential for skin elasticity. They are also applicable externally, so mash them and apply them to your skin, as they will nourish it if it’s dry and lacks radiance.

5 – Give up smoking, as research proves that carbon monoxide present in cigarettes keeps the small blood capillaries from feeding the skin and stops the body’s absorption of Vitamin C.

6 – Sun damages the skin, as the exposure to ultra violet light breaks down the structure of collagen and thus, accelerates wrinkles and ageing.

7 – Drink plenty of water to preserve skin cell formation. As an adult, you should drink at least 2 liters of water per day.

8 – When applied to the skin, extra virgin olive oil keeps the skin cells from dying, which is essential in our fight against ageing.

9 – Exercise regularly, as this promotes blood flow and skin renewal, which will give you a fresher and younger appearance. After all, this is exactly what we want!
