Plums contain vitamin E and beta-carotene, an antioxidant, which protects fatty acids and cell membranes from free radical attack, allowing the body to fight signs of aging skin such as loss of elasticity and wrinkles.

2. Rejuvenation:

Drinking plum juice can help even out skin tone and strengthen the skin by improving skin health and rejuvenating its appearance. Lack of collagen often makes the skin dull and lifeless. Plums contain high amounts of vitamin C which is essential for the production of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, which are needed to bind the molecules that produce collagen.

Plums may also reduce the appearance of scar tissue by increasing blood flow to the scar tissue, reducing the appearance of scars and blending in the growth of new skin.

Plums also help replace damaged tissues and heal wounds faster. They improve the elasticity of the skin and make scar tissue and ligaments heal faster.

Plums contain high amounts of antioxidants that provide an effective shield against sun rays and reduce sun damage. Sun damage can cause skin to become rough and wrinkled, but prunes encourage the growth of new cells and make the skin look younger.
