Antioxidants help protect cells from free radical attack, which can cause skin inflammation, damage the dermis, and in some cases lead to the premature appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, and other signs of aging. Apart from following a cosmetic routine that includes products that contain them, it is important to also keep them present in our diet through foods like these.
Here are some of the main ones, so you don't forget to include them daily.
