8 Foods for Healthy Skin

Broccoli – Rich in vitamin C and E, broccoli is full of antioxidants and collagen enhancers.

Carrots – Loaded with vitamins C, A and antioxidants, carrots are amazing for glowing skin. Mash them with honey to use as a face mask for immediate results.

Nuts – Add raw almonds, walnuts and pecans to any salad or snack to reduce puffiness, swelling and inflammation, prevent wrinkles, and eliminate toxins.

Chocolate – The cocoa in chocolate helps skin keep looking young with fewer wrinkles by reducing stress hormones that usually break down precious collagen.

Blueberries – Add these to your tea, eat them raw, or cook them to obtain the benefits of the antioxidants and vitamins C and A found in blueberries to strengthen your blood vessels and reduce the appearance of blotchy skin.

Tomatoes – Eating tomatoes regularly increases the amount of lycopene production in your skin for protection against harmful UV rays, which can cause faster aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Yogurt – There are a ton of health and skin benefits in yogurt. To reduce dark under-eye circles, use it like an eye cream before bed.

Water – This may not be considered a “food” item but water is an essential for hydrated skin. Without proper hydration, skin can look dry and wrinkled, two things we definitely do not want.
