Tip #5: Take Vitamins

Apply topical versions (or oral versions) of vitamin A, C and E every night right before you go to sleep. Vitamin A repairs sun damaged skin and fights wrinkles. Vitamin C stimulates the skin’s production of collagen. Vitamin E slows down the formation of wrinkles and improves the performance of your sunscreen.
