The passage of years leaves it mark differently from person to person. There are a lot of people who you wouldn’t ever believe are as old as they claim, and even more who seem older than their biological age. Did you ever wonder if and how can that be controlled?
There are a lot of factors that impact the way your skin looks and feels, your dietary habits included. However, they are not the only ones responsible for it. Bear in mind that your skin is the largest organ, and the last one on the nutrients’ priority list. In other terms, vitamins and minerals rarely get to reach it, and it becomes dry, flaky, and wrinkled. This means that it ages a lot faster than you do.
Luckily for us, the nutrients called antioxidants engage in counteracting this aging process. Moreover, one particular antioxidant, which is 17 times more powerful than any other, can instantly rejuvenate your complexion. You can find it in acai and pigmented berries, in pomegranate juice and wine. All these foods contain resveratrol, the one nutrient that simply cancels aging.
Of the entire list, I only recommend not dripping wine on your face. The alcohol it contains is too powerful considering how sensitive the skin is, and it will dry it. However, dabbing a cotton ball in pomegranate or berries juice, and then simply tapping the skin will work wonders for you, especially for the area under the eyes. At the same time, drinking a glass of red wine will do a similar job (it contains slightly more resveratrol than it white counterpart).
Other amazing sources of resveratrol are dark chocolate and cocoa, peanuts, and pistachios, so include them in your regular snack plan to slow down the aging process!
