Antioxidants are the best way to fight back against the aging process. According to best health, the antioxidants vitamin A, B3, C, and E are what the skin needs to help rebuild its collagen. These antioxidants can be absorbed through the skin. The question is how much do you need to actually make a difference? Doctors and scientists don’t know the answer to that question. Below are 6 home remedies that are high in antioxidants that you can feel free to try and see if they work.
