The One Wrinkle-Fighting Smoothie Recipe You Should Make Every Morning To Look Younger

“Blueberries are rich in antioxidants that help fight cell-damaging free radicals. Berries contain high amounts of plant compounds known as anthocyanins that have strong antioxidant properties and give the berries themselves their purple-blue appearance. As we age our body’s natural ability to fight off free radicals diminishes, which in turn leads to higher levels that can have a detrimental impact upon our skin cells,” explains dermatologist Rachael Burns.

Burns continues, “When there are more free radicals present than there are antioxidants, our skin cells begin to weaken and show signs of ageing. Collagen and elastin are two proteins that give our skin structure but poor lifestyle habits can accelerate damage to these proteins which can leave our skin sagging in appearance and increase fine lines and wrinkles. A diet rich in antioxidants such as blueberries may help combat free radical damage and promote healthier looking skin.”
