Strawberries

I LOVE Strawberries. They are one of my favorite fruits. Did you know that strawberries have more anti-aging vitamin C per serving thanan orange? Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that people who eat foods rich in C have fewer wrinkles and less age-related dry skin than those who don’t. Vitamin C helps fight free radicals, which damage cells and break down collagen, leading to fine lines.

For smoother, more hydrated skin, apply a natural-berry mask like the one below once or twice a week. Don’t forget to eat vitamin c-rich foods everyday.

Try a smoothie that is great as a snack and great as a mask!
