Eat your way to healthy, younger looking skin.

Good genes and skin care products are just one of the ways to get your skin glowing. However, a good diet is also a critical factor that many fail to consider. Before you run around trying to find the best products and routines for your skin, let’s also take a look at what you eat for a bit. Here are a list of some foods that are dermatologically tested and proven to give you healthier-looking skin.

Avocados

Avocados contain vitamins C and E, antioxidants that can protect your skin from damage by the sun. Eating avocados regularly helps your skin build resistance to sun damage.

Walnuts

Maybe you’ve been turned off by walnuts because of the taste you get in your mouth when you drink water just after eating them, but you better learn to live with it if you’re obsessed with maintaining that healthy skin. Walnuts are a good source of essential fats, vitamin E and zinc, all of which are nutrients your skin will thank you for. For something so little that packs up so many nutrients, walnuts are heavily underrated.

Sweet Potatoes

The presence of vitamin A and beta carotene in sweet potatoes helps protect your skin from excessive exposure, preventing dry and wrinkled skin and sunburn.

Red/Yellow Bell Peppers

Like sweet potatoes, bell peppers also contain beta carotene, converted to vitamin A in the body. They also contain Vitamin C, which, as previously mentioned, is a strong antioxidant that protects your skin from damage by the sun. Vitamin C can also slow down the wrinkling and ageing of your skin by keeping it firm.

Tomatoes

These are also a good source of vitamin C which acts as a sunblock and prevents wrinkling.
