Aging, environment, and diet affect our skin from head to toe. Yet, applying a moisturizer, eye cream, serum, exfoliant, cleanser, night cream, and so on seems overwhelming.
How many beauty products do we need?
We cannot change aging and sometimes cannot change the environment, but we can eat healthier to keep our skin looking young and vibrant. We also can add anti-aging products that contain collagen, retinol, and hyaluronic acid.
Collagen: is a structural protein found in the body's located in the body's connective tissues. Collagen is in connective tissue such as cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments, and skin. Collagen is responsible for skin strength and elasticity, and degradation may lead to wrinkles as we age. Nutritional sources include bone broth, egg whites, chicken, fish, dairy products, carrots, and apricots.
Retinol: is a form of Vitamin A shown to rejuvenate the effects of aging. Retinol helps speed up removing dead skin cells that can lead to dry skin. With the help of retinol, your skin will be more hydrated, smooth, and plump. Nutritional sources include liver, meats, sweet potatoes, milk, cheese, and broccoli.
Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a clear, gooey substance naturally produced by your body. Hyaluronic acid is in your skin, connective tissue, and eyes. In an anti-aging cream, Hyaluronic acid can reduce wrinkles, redness, and dermatitis when applied to the skin. Nutritional sources include bone broth, oranges, tofu, kale, red wine, and starchy vegetables.
