Vitamin A is found in fresh vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, red and yellow peppers, pumpkin and avocado, mango, (dried) apricots. Vitamin E cares for your skin from the inside out and is found in seeds, avocado and nuts. Vitamin C is important for the formation of collagen that firms the skin.
Eat plenty of, preferably organic, fresh vegetables. Why organic? There are many proponents and opponents for organic food. Why eat this, it is more expensive, but is it actually proven to be healthier? What we do know is organic vegetables, grains and fruits contain up to 60 percent more antioxidants than conventional produce and that they contain no pesticides (herbicides).
