Help Wrinkles with Vitamin C

Vitamin C can help in the reduction of the appearance of wrinkles. It is one of the most commonly used ingredients in skin care products. It is an antioxidant that can help reduce skin damage that is caused by free radicals. It is also important for the synthesis of collagen, which is an important structural protein in the skin. It is needed for the connective tissue in the body, especially in the layer where collagen is made. Thats why people who have healthy diets look younger than people who don't. Diets high in linoleic acid, which is found in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, also promote younger looking skin by reducing dryness and thinning of the skin.

NASA Pictures Show Mercury is Shrinking

Pictures from the unseen side of Mercury show wrinkles from the shrinking planet and residue from volcanic eruptions. There is also a large landmark that is shaped like a spider.

NASA’s Messenger probe brought back 1,213 pictures and images that show that there are ancient volcanoes on Mercury and the planet is shrinking as it gets older, causing ridges. It is assumed that as the core of Mercury cools down, it contracts and the entire planet shrinks. As the planet shrinks, crust is pushed over one another and forms ridges. Other images showed a spider like shape on the surface. It is made up of a crater with dozens of ridge lines coming from it.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and before it was thought that the planet was dull like our moon but recent photos show that the planet is more colorful and has areas of baby blues and reds. Mercury also has at least one crater that is filled with its own version of lava.
