Brilio.net - When you age, the body experiences various changes that can affect your physical appearance and overall health. Signs of aging begin to appear, such as in bones, muscles, hair and skin. Signs of aging that occur on the skin can cause fine lines, wrinkles, and a sagging appearance on the face. Of course, you cannot avoid these signs of aging. However, you can prevent the appearance of signs of aging by taking care of them, both externally and internally.

You can do internal treatment by consuming food or drinks that contain retinol. Retinol is a form of vitamin A that is often used for skin care because of its benefits. One of the uses of retinol is to stimulate the production of collagen (a protein that is important for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity). Not only that, retinol also helps regenerate skin cells. So it can fade black spots, sun spots and hyperpigmentation. Even if consumed regularly, retinol can prevent acne scars and even out skin texture.

To get a drink with the benefits of retinol, you can use natural ingredients. As did a woman named Cindy. In uploads on X's social media, he used three types of fruit, namely granny apples, lemons, navel oranges, carrots and pineapples, as well as ginger.

Meanwhile, navel oranges contain vitamin C and antioxidants which protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and stimulate skin cell regeneration. Navel oranges contain bioflavonoids that help strengthen blood vessels and increase blood circulation to the skin, providing a refreshing and brightening effect.

Meanwhile, carrots contain beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which is important for healthy skin. Vitamin A helps in regenerating skin cells, maintaining skin elasticity, and slowing down the aging process. Rich in antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, which protect the skin from free radical damage.

The enzyme bromelain in pineapple contains anti-inflammatory and mild exfoliating properties.

Rich in vitamin C, manganese, and other antioxidants supports healthy skin and reduces signs of aging.

Meanwhile, ginger has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which help reduce inflammation of the skin and relieve redness or irritation.
