How to Look Younger by Reducing Wrinkles on Your Skin Naturally

You are what you eat. Your skin is what you take into your body.

When you are young, your skin’s collagen structure is excellent. It is the collagen fibers and elastin that support  your skin. As you grow older, this underlying structure breaks down and skin sags, leading to wrinkles.

To reduce wrinkles, boost collagen. No doubt, you could get collagen injections into the wrinkles to even them up, but then again, you could prevent the wrinkling from happening so quickly by watching what you eat.

1. Eat A Tomato

Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants which protect your skin’s cell structures from the damaging effect of free radicals. Tomatoes are particularly rich in lycopene  which inhibits collagenases. Collagenases are enzymes that destroy collagen, so if you inhibit those enzymes by consuming lycopene-rich tomatoes, you protect the collagen in your skin.

2. Take Soy based products

Soy is rich in the isoflavone genistein which blocks enzymes that destroy collagen. By eating tofu, drinking soya bean milk and consuming soy based products, you protect the collagen in your skin.

3. Boost your vitamin C intake.

Start taking vitamin c supplements. Better yet, eat more oranges and lemons and citrus fruit that is rich in vitamin C. You see, vitamin C helps your body produce collagen, which in turn supports your skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

4. Get Fishy.

By that, I mean to include plenty of fish in your diet. Fish is rich in omega fatty acids. Besides the collagen and elastin support structure of your skin, the lipids in the skin keep your skin soft and dewy, and younger looking, so get your omega fatty acids. Eat fish.
