The Flamingo Way To Fight Wrinkles And Protect Your Skin
Gwyneth Paltrow and other big-time celebrities swear by this antioxidant — it's the same substance that makes flamingos turn pink!
Pink Power
What do flamingos and megastars like Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Heidi Klum have in common? They all set great store by astaxanthin, a naturally occurring antioxidant found in marine plants and animals such as salmon, krill, and shrimp.
It's also the same beta carotene pigment that gives flamingos their distinct pink color (that's what happens when you're on a crustacean and algae-infused diet!).
Top-billed celebrities have found a way to use astaxanthin halt the effects of aging. This substance has the ability to improve your skin's moisture content and elasticity, thus preventing wrinkles, and can further protect you from harmful UV ray exposure. A powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin may also prevent free radicals from wrecking havoc on your skin cells, thus keeping your face looking healthy and young.
Natural sources of astaxanthin include reddish or pink seafood such as shrimp, crab, lobster, and salmon. They can also be found in the form of dietary supplements. While astaxanthin may be beneficial, the best way to get your face to glow still includes having a balanced diet, avoiding harsh products, and shielding it from the sun.
