Supplements, simple foods for the skin
Beyond the fantastic qualities of chocolate, which would be an excellent natural supplement, at least according to what reported by NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), relative to a recent research on skin health, there are also other products able to slow down the process of formation of the much feared wrinkles.
Specifically and, as reported by LiveStrong magazine, you can prevent loss of tone and the formation of wrinkles, which follow a natural aging process, thanks to a dozen foods that should always be brought to the table.
Making a brief summary of what would be those foods that make us always look young and beautiful, in the first place we find red peppers, rich in vitamin C; secondly, the juice or orange juice, which, in addition to being equally rich, also has a high moisturizing power.

Finally legumes and green leafy vegetables, such as spinach or black cabbage, are special natural antioxidants, able to protect and do good to the skin.
In addition to the reported food list, in order to ensure that all nutrients get to the bottom and perform their action, attention should be paid to the seasonality of foods, their origin and method of cultivation, as well as the way in which they are then prepared and cooked. .
Natural anti-wrinkle supplements
The "over the counter" natural supplements that are generally used against wrinkles, act as a counterpoint to what fresh foods offer. In general, among the best known, there are those based on vitamin C, blueberry or turmeric, coenzyme Q-10, selenium, but not only.
In some cases these are products based on antioxidants, which act by slowing down the action of free radicals. Among the main antioxidants are carotenoids and polyphenols - for example, you will find resveratrol- based supplements on the market.
In other cases, these are products that deeply nourish the skin, rich in minerals and precious vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D or vitamin E, or even selenium .
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, contribute to maintaining skin elasticity and tissue tone. Enzymes and hormones - such as DHEA - also help in the body's maintenance process.
But be careful: if foods and supplements are important, the wrinkle factor is also determined by other conditions. For example, as indicated by MedlinePlus, heredity, excessive exposure to sunlight and smoking are among the factors that most affect wrinkle formation.
