Vitamin C counts. Women with higher C intake, mostly from foods like orange juice, citrus fruits, and tomatoes (as opposed to supplements), had significantly fewer wrinkles.
C is key in the formation of collagen, which repairs damage and keeps skin strong and elastic.
Linoleic acid is protective. Those who ate plenty of this nutrient had skin that was less dry and fragile. Known to help skin maintain moisture, it's found in green leafy vegetables, nuts, and plant-based oils.
Excess carbohydrates and fat speed the aging of skin. Women who consumed more carbs and fat had more wrinkles.
