7 Foods For Good-looking Skin
1. Walnuts
Moisture
is very important in keeping one’s skin youthful looking for a long time.
Walnuts also contain beauty enhancing omega-3 fatty acids that adds moisture to
skin. If you have eczema, add walnuts to your main dishes and salads and say
goodbye to dry, scaly skin forever.
2. Baked sweet potatoes
Remember,
BAKED potatoes not fried or sugar coated. You can also roast them.
Sweet
potatoes have beta-carotene in them, which is converted to vitamin A for
softer, smoother skin.
3.
Carrots, spinach, tomatoes and
other vegetables with carotenoids
These
food products have carotenoids that protect the skin against sunburn but it
doesn’t mean you’re alright to skip the SPF creams. Watermelon, cantaloupe and
mangoes are some of the fruits that also contain carotenoids.
4. Peppers
Peppers
have vitamin C in them, which stimulates collagen synthesis and slows down the aging process.
Researchers found out that eating peppers are better than taking up vitamin C
supplements. They also say that a diet high in vitamin C-rich foods was associated with less noticeable
wrinkles.
5. Avocado
We’ve
already talked about this and this fruit really does work wonders on our skin. Avocados are very rich sources of
vitamins C, E and lutein, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-aging properties. They
taste good too.
6.
Salmon
This
fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and taking sufficient amount of this
prevents your skin from breaking out. Sardines and flax seeds are also good
sources of omega-3. Including these food items in your diet will prevent
blocked pores that cause overproduction of oil.
7. Water
If you’re not properly hydrated,
dark circles under your eyes tend to obviously appear due to the dilation of
the blood vessels underneath the eyes. So to keep those dark, under eye circles
at bay, drink at least 6-8 glasses of purified water each day (hey, that
rhymed).
Now, with this knowledge at hand, go and be beautiful!
