Include vitamin C in you beauty routine |
The yellow pigment in orange is linked to reducing sun-induced skin
damage and is believed to improve elasticity of the skin, according to a
panel of health and beauty experts.
They attribute the benefits to the vitamin C, potassium and folic
acid it contains. Vitamin C is essential in the production of collagen,
along with super nutrient Lutein, the Mirror reported.
A 200 ml glass of orange typically contains 60 mg vitamin C and
equates to 100 per cent of an adult's recommended daily amount. “The
adage of ‘you are what you eat’ is not a new one but science has lagged
behind in determining the effect nutrition has on our skin, hair and
nails,” nutritionist Amanda Ursell was quoted by the Mirror as saying.
“Beauty experts are starting to see the benefits of a glass of this
nutrient packed product, realising it isn't just what you put on your
body but what you put into it too,” she added. The research was
undertaken with 200 beauty industry workers who are members of CEW
(Cosmetic Executive Women).
Two thirds of beauty professionals (65 per cent) said they recommend
clients to drink a glass a day as part of their current beauty routine.
