Vitamin C


There are two mechanisms by which vitamin C can affect your skin:

First, vitamin C is an essential component for collagen synthesis. Without adequate vitamin C, the collagen in your skin would be malformed and your skin and gums would not heal properly.

Secondly, vitamin C is a potent antioxidant. Like other antioxidant
, it helps to prevent skin damage and wrinkles by soaking up harmful free radicals.

Vitamin C rich foods:
- Guava
- Red Sweet Pepper
- Green Sweet Pepper
- Kiwi
- Orange
- Grapefruit Juice
- Strawberries
- Brussels Sprouts
