If you’re eating for brighter skin, make sure you’re consuming antioxidants whenever possible. Plenty of whole and natural foods contain these free-radical fighters but especially fresh fruits like oranges, lemons, grapefruit, blueberries, etc., that are rich in vitamin C.

Not only does vitamin C help to combat oxidative stress in the skin (aka, one leading cause of accelerated skin aging), but it also helps support your collagen production.* That’s why high-quality collagen powders (like ours) will often toss vitamin C into the mix; if it doesn’t, you might be doing your skin a disservice.

In fact, your body cannot make collagen without vitamin C, so make sure you prioritize this nutrient for healthy skin aging.*
