2. Berries ...
I am talking about
plums, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries (No, not the
phone!). These berries have a great antioxidant capacity which
means - the more of these we have, the longer our 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 they 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, right?
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 ...
Yum! I'm glad this
one's on the list. 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. 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!
9. Cottage cheese ...
Apart from calcium,
cottage cheese is great for selenium and it's an essential mineral
for a youthful, glowing skin, Ladies!
There you have it -
the 9 best foods that are great for your skin. So stock up on
