The Anti-Aging Perks of Apples

Whether you slice them in your salad or use their nutrients on your skin, apples can help you glow. They're full of vitamin C, a crucial ingredient for your complexion and hair.

"Vitamin C speeds up skin's cell production, which makes you look radiant, and strengthens hair and nails," says David Wolfe, nutrition expert and author. "Apples also contain B vitamins, like B5 and B9, proven to combat acne and irritation." Why not indulge in their beauty benefits?
