The secret of yellow berries for your skin
Isabella LandebackVitamin C and Carotenoids
Carotenoids are a type of pigment that gives fruits and vegetables a yellow-orange color. Carotenoids are absorbed through the intestines from food and can then be converted into vitamin A, also known as Retinol, in the body, which has scientific and positive properties when it comes to, for example, acne, psoriasis, sun damage or wrinkles. Yellow berries are also full of vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects cells against oxidative stress in the skin, which leads to premature aging. Vitamin C is good for the immune system and necessary for maintaining your energy level. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the body's absorption of iron, which is important for the production of collagen in skin cells, to support the skin's structure and counteract signs of aging. Oxidative stress leads to dull and tired skin and vitamin C gives the skin the boost it needs to look younger and fresher.
