Want to Stop Wrinkles? Take Vitamin C

But not everyone is so sure about this finding.

Susan H. Weinkle, MD, who is a visiting clinical professor of dermatology at the University of South Florida, says it is difficult, if not impossible, to prove that specific foods affect wrinkling one way or another.

“Skin aging, especially facial aging, is remarkably multifactorial. It involves many things including genetics, ultraviolet light exposure, and lifestyle,” she says.
