Antioxidant ingredients
As we continue, we will go over the antioxidant ingredients that will help your skin achieve a lifting effect.
Eggs
Raw egg is an ancient remedy for the skin and hair, thanks to its excellent and complete nutritional value. For our natural lifting, we will need the white and yolk of the egg:
- White: the egg white is very beneficial for our skin. It is known for its contents of protein and minerals like iron, calcium and magnesium, as well as B vitamins (B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12). The egg white firms the skin.
- Yolk: the egg yolk also contains proteins, but it is characterized for its high fat content, vitamins A, D and E and minerals like calcium, zinc and magnesium. The egg yolk deeply nourishes the skin and prevents wrinkles.
Argon oil
Argon oil is an ancient health and beauty remedy with powerful antioxidants that keep the skin from aging as a result of free radicals.
- It contains a high percentage of vitamin E and the majority of its composition is oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids

Wheat germ
Wheat germ is a superfood that’s ideal for the skin, whether you consume it or apply it topically.
- Thanks to its content of vitamin E, a great antioxidant, wheat germ keeps your skin hydrated, firm and free of wrinkles.
We recommend that you take advantage of this ingredient’s rejuvenating effects by taking a spoonful of it a day with juice or yogurt.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is vital for good health and helps support the immune system. However, we should also be aware of its surprising properties for our skin, both when used orally and topically:
- Vitamin C activates collagen synthesis and allows the epidermis to regenerate and keeps your skin firm.
- It also prevents and eliminates marks, eliminates impurities, calms irritations and improves the absorption of the products that we apply to it.
- Using it with help us get soft, smooth, clean skin without any wrinkles.
If you do not have a vitamin C supplement, you can use 15 drops of recently squeezed lemon juice instead.
