Antioxidants
There are some powerful antioxidants contained in kale, including Vitamin C, Quercetin, Kaempferol, and the carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin.
Vitamin C helps reduce dark spots, brightens the skin tone, repairs sun damage, and helps keep collagen production healthy and robust. There is more Vitamin C in a cup of kale as there is in one orange.
Quercetin and Kaempferol are antioxidants that fight free radical damage and help keep the skin looking young and healthy.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are carotenoids that help promote healthy skin by increasing hydration and elasticity of the skin, as well as offering protection from UV induced damage.
Vitamin A
Kale contains beta-carotene, which is then converted to Vitamin A in the body.
Beta carotene protects your skin from cellular UV damage. When it is converted to Vitamin A on the skin, it helps speed up cellular turnover, rebuilds collagen, and keeps skin cells healthy and flourishing.
Copper
The mineral copper boosts the synthesis of melanin; a pigment that protects your skin from the sun.
