As we age, our skin wrinkles naturally as it begins to lose its collagen and elasticity. The process is accelerated by sun exposure, poor nutrition, stress, a lack of muscle tone, and smoking. While we may be predisposed to wrinkles due to genetics and our facial expressions, there are natural ways to slow down time’s effect on our skin. Healthy, whole food provides a well-rounded, balanced supply of nutrients that is most beneficial to our health. That said, it can be tough to ingest everything that is good for us on a regular basis. Supplements, especially those derived from natural sources, are a convenient, effective way to kick it up.
