2. Give Serums a chance

Look for moisturizing serums rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E, to give your skin the perfect balance of moisturizing and skin cell regeneration. While vitamin C , an antioxidant, boosts collagen production and balances the collagen present in the skin, Vitamin E supports the penetration of Vitamin C into skin cells. The two combined, keep the internal structure of the skin intact, acting more like natural reinforcements for the skin, which then, on the outside looks younger and timeless.

3. Avocado and honey

You can also make a raw moisturizer at home by blending avocado, honey and fresh cream. The ingredients retain moisture in the skin and help you get rid of wrinkles. Avocados are rich in anti-tan compounds too. Avocados have plenty of antioxidants in the form of Vitamin E and Vitamin C, to fight off free radical gone rogue and reduce premature aging. The skin needs Vitamin C to make collagen which is responsible for maintaining skin tightness.

4. Walnuts-to eat

Walnuts are full of good fat, that is, they contain just enough of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids to reinforce skin rejuvenation. You need walnuts because these fatty acids are not naturally occurring in your body. Omega-3 helps keep up the skin’s supple quality and moisturizes it. Walnuts provide about 6% of your zinc requirement for the skin to stay healthy and plump and heal from scars and wounds faster. It is also rich in antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E and selenium.
