Research has indicated that higher intakes of Vitamin C and linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid), and lower intakes of fats and carbohydrates are associated with better skin-ageing appearance. This means a lower likelihood of wrinkles and dryness as you age. Research has also concluded that promoting healthy dietary behaviours may have additional benefits for the appearance of your skin. For example, antioxidants such as berries and probiotics are fantastic to be taken orally for benefiting your skin's appearance.
