Blueberries – Smooths Wrinkles
Blueberries are chock-full of antioxidants and anti-aging compounds that can firm up skin and improve natural collagen production. It’s truly amazing that a single berry doesn’t just fill in age lines but also puts up a winning fight against cancer-causing free radicals. You can enjoy blueberries in every way—frozen, fresh, processed at home—and receive an astounding number of health benefits.
A topical application of blueberries massaged onto your facial skin can also do wonders. Try pureeing ¼ of a cup of fresh blueberries with 2 tbsp of organic coconut oil. Give the homemade facial cream 20 minutes to soak into your skin before washing it off with warm water.
