Vitamin C - The Beauty Vitamin

The Beauty of Vitamin C - Eat Your Way to Healthy Skin

Vitamin C is one of those amazing “beauty vitamins.”  Vitamin C helps to support healthy skin by building protein used in the skin’s fibers.  By strengthening the skins natural fibers, called collagen, fine lines and wrinkles may become less apparent.     

The wonderful antioxidants that you hear about all the time are abundant in Vitamin C.  These antioxidants minimize the damaging effects of the sun on your delicate skin by trapping free radicals.  

Vitamin C is also reported to minimize the appearance of acne and shrink pore size.  Improvements in skin texture have also been reported with increased intake of Vitamin C.

So reach for your citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit.  You will not know but you also get a nice dose of Vitamin C from spinach, tomatoes, peppers and potatoes.

Do your best to get Vitamin C directly from food sources instead of supplements.  That way you will get the “real” thing plus dozens of other essential vitamins and minerals.

Eating your way to beauty - good for your skin and good for your overall health - it’s a win-win for you!
