5 FOODS THAT AGES YOUR SKIN AND MAKE YOU LOOK OLDER
Since ancient times, people have been intrigued by the idea of eternal youth and immortality. In the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Shi Huang was so obsessed with immortality that he sent hundreds of people to find the elixir of life that can supposedly help to gain immortality.
While we know today that immortality is not possible as it is part of the natural cycle of life and death, slowing down the process of ageing and maintaining good skin complexion is possible! There are many who look like their late twenties when in fact they are already close to 50!
While you might be doing your skin routine right and slapping on those expensive skincare products, that might not achieve a youthful and radiant look. What we eat can directly affect the complexion of our skin, so it’s important to be mindful of the food we eat.
For example, All Link Beauty Radiance+ is specially formulated for women to maintain their optimal health and skin youthfulness. Its main ingredient is Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) which has been used traditionally as a herb known for its natural potency of phytoestrogens to balance women’s optimal hormonal level. Red clover contains 10 times more isoflavones than soy. It is added with a blend of TCM herbs and seaweed calcium that work together to form a truly well-balanced product for women.
