Tips to Avoid Sagging Skin

Make sure to choose foods rich in vitamin C, which can effectively eradicate free radicals from your body. Choose fruits and veggies that are naturally rich in protein such as legumes and beans. Protein rich veggies can replace dead skin cells, perfect for natural skin rejuvenation.
