Can fruits really  tone and strengthen your skin  and fight lethargy? Of course! It may surprise you because we are all used to buying a lot of creams and spending a lot of money on beauty treatments to get a toned and firm figure.

Also? Does that mean it’s probably just eating from this list of fruits? Not really. In fact, it means that you need to maintain a balanced diet and increase your intake of all the  foods that supply you with collagen and other nutrients that are necessary for the skin throughout life.

Any help is good and your face creams can continue to be usable. But to increase their effect, it is necessary that you “feed your skin” from within. And this is where these fruits emerge as your best allies day in and day out.

1. You can strengthen your skin with vitamin C, which is found in oranges

Which fruit contains the most vitamin C to strengthen your skin? Oranges  They are also great to eat every morning with  a glass of warm water with lemon,  which is ideal for cleansing your body of toxins and getting a good supplement of vitamins and antioxidants.

Vitamin C, which is present in oranges and lemons, is the ultimate anti-aging ingredient. Thanks to it, your body can better absorb iron and calcium. The only problem is that it is soluble, ie. Vitamin C dissolves in water, which can then be lost by urination and  therefore we must continuously renew it.

Vitamin C is also a splendid antioxidant which is capable of  not age out of our cells’ DNA and protect us from the dreaded free radicals that wrinkles our skin,  and helps to prevent the signs of aging  and also promote the formation of collagen.
