1. Low fat yogurt … Low fat dairy products are full of vitamin A. This essential vitamin does wonders for your skin. If you have a thyroid problem or diabetes that’s another reason for you to stock up on organic low fat yogurts!
2. Berries …
I am talking about plums, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries (No, not the super amazing phones!). These berries have a great antioxidant capacity which means - the more of these we have, the longer your skin will look youthful and healthy!
3. Salmon …Our skin needs essential fatty acids. If fish isn’t your thing, try walnuts, flax seed or canola oil. All these will give you an amazing result! Omega 3 and Omega 6 may sound like a Sci-fi flick, but these fatty acids are a must for a beautiful, well moisturized skin.
4. Green tea …This drink contains polyphenols which have anti-inflammatory characteristics. And despite what some people say, a good tea will not dehydrate your body, it will only work as an anti-oxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent that’ll keep bacteria at bay and will fight off those free radicals that make our skin age early.
5. Water …
Did I even need to mention it?! Good hydration is our skin’s best friend. And I’m talking about good bottled or filtered water in its purest form and not sodas or energy drinks. So ensure that you’re getting at least 8 glasses of water a day for your beautiful skin.
6. Avocados …Avocado is rich in B-complex vitamins and essential oils and works like an anti-inflammatory agent. It also soothes skin that is red, irritated or blotchy. You can even mix it with yogurt and berries to add some flavor!
7. Mangoes …
Lots of vitamin A is in store with this skin do-gooder! This fruit will repair your skin cells so that your skin doesn’t look flaky. It has only 70 calories per serving so it’s ideal for your weight loss program as well.
8. Cottage cheese …Apart from calcium, cottage cheese is great for selenium and it’s an essential mineral for a youthful, glowing skin!
9. Almonds …Vitamin E helps to moisturize your skin from within. It also protects your skin from damage and premature aging. Eating almonds can help your facial tissue stay in its best shape for years!
