If a youthful and glowing skin is what you desire, then citrus fruits like oranges, lemons and grapefruits can work wonders for you. Generally fresh fruits and vegetables are highly rich in vitamins and minerals which help to nourish your skin. The added advantage is that, besides eating it directly, you can also apply it on your skin as face masks to give you back your youthful glow.

Eating oranges, high in vitamin C and vitamin A benefits your skin in numerous possible ways. First it is rich in antioxidant properties which are known all over to keep your skin young. Another important characteristic of vitamin C is its healing nature. It helps to heal broken or injured skin thus helping it to get better faster.

Production of collagen fibre which keeps wrinkles away from your face is facilitated by vitamin C. Thus if you want to keep your face glowing, wrinkle free and youthful, consuming vitamin C enriched citrus fruits is a must.
