Younger-Looking Skin in TWO Weeks
You can call them “wisdom lines” all you want, but I don’t know anyone who is happy about getting wrinkles.
But here’s the thing… wrinkles are more than a cosmetic issue.
They are an outward sign of the aging that’s happening inside of your body
You see, wrinkles occur because of decreased collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen gives support and structure to your skin… and ALL of your body’s connective tissues.
In addition to causing wrinkles, this can lead to stiff, painful joints, gut problems, decreased bone density, and more.
Fortunately, THIS secret weapon could help you reduce these outward signs of aging in as little as two weeks…
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 110 adults took 100 mg of blood orange extract daily or a placebo.
Blood oranges are a variety of oranges with deep red flesh and sweet-tart taste.
The participants started to see the benefits in as little as two weeks… and things got even better after three months of consistent use.
- Skin brightness improved by 9.2 percent after 14 days and increased to 18.5 percent after 56 days.
- Elasticity improved by 5.9 percent after 14 days and increased to 13.9 percent after 56 days.
- Moisture levels improved by 5.3 percent… and then increased to 12.3 percent.
By the end of the study, the depth of their wrinkles had decreased by 6.9 percent.
Blood oranges contain potent compounds that are great for your skin. For example, you get antioxidants that combat oxidative damage.
They also provide vitamin C, which your body uses to produce and preserve collagen.
By helping you maintain collagen levels in ALL of your cells, foods like blood oranges help combat aging that you see on the outside… as well as the aging you can’t see on the inside.
Other nutrients that support your body’s collagen production include protein, zinc, and copper (found in foods like nuts, beans, and shellfish).
P.S. Feast your way to flawless skin… here’s how.
