Rather than promoting various lotions and potions, she instead shares diet and lifestyle tricks that can improve skin from the inside-out.
And there’s two foods she swears by to stop ageing in its tracks.
In a recent TikTok post, Adriana shared how her life “really started after 40”.
She even said that she believes she looks better now than she did aged 20, thanks to her improved lifestyle.
“Better make-up, better clothes, better money, more confidence, calmer lifestyle,” she wrote.
Adriana is also a big consumer of wild-caught salmon and turmeric – and says these are her key anti-ageing foods.
Neuroscientist Robert Love, who specialises in helping people fight Alzheimer’s disease, recently claimed that both salmon and turmeric are the ultimate anti-ageing foods for your skin AND brain.
Taking to TikTok in March this year, Adriana revealed that she strongly agrees.
As a regular consumer of both, she believes they are the secret to her youthful glow.
Wild-caught salmon is beneficial for both skin and brain health as it is rich in nutrients, especially omega-3 fatty acids.
The fatty acids present in salmon help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier, as well as reduce dryness and inflammation.
Furthermore, the omega-3s and proteins in salmon are believed to promote collagen production, which is essential for maintaining firm and youthful skin.
It’s also a good source of vitamin D, which supports skin cell growth and repair.
On the other hand, turmeric is beneficial for skin health thanks to its active compound curcumin.
Curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and wound-healing properties.
And as it’s a strong antioxidant, it neutralises any external nasties that manage to seep into your skin and damage it, such as pollution.
These antioxidant properties can also slow down the ageing process by protecting skin cells from damage that leads to wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity.
What is Collagen?
- Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and provides strength and structure to the skin and muscles
- It plays a significant role in maintaining skin elasticity and hydration
- As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin and decreased skin firmness
- Collagen production starts to dwindle in our mid-to-late 20s and early 30s. By 40, it has dropped dramatically
It’s important to note that while collagen-based skincare products may offer benefits, their effectiveness can hugely vary.
Some experts suggest that topical application of collagen may have limited effectiveness compared to other skincare ingredients that stimulate collagen production within the skin.
