There are many products that you can and should include in your daily skincare routine to counteract the effects of skin aging. However, none of them have the same effect as a simple tropical fruit, which promises to stimulate collagen production and restore volume and firmness to the skin.
With an unquestionable nutritional richness, guava is one of the fruits with the highest vitamin C content. Per 100 grams it contains 228 milligrams of this nutrient, writes the Saber Vivir portal. This value not only exceeds the recommended daily dose of this vitamin, but also nourishes the skin from the inside out.

But how does guava naturally stimulate collagen production, which is essential for skin elasticity and firmness? It's simple: the 'secret' of this fruit lies precisely in its high vitamin C content, which acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting against damage caused by free radicals.
The same publication also states that guava, in addition to multiplying collagen production, is also a privileged source of other vitamins, fibers and minerals, such as potassium, which has an anti-aging effect.
