Eat your way to clear skin

Hi babes. I know a lot of you really want clear skin and what your putting into your body is way more important than what your putting on your face.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect skin by limiting the production of free radicals, which can damage skin cells.

Foods high in antioxidants include:

goji beries
wild blueberries
dark chocolate
pecans
boiled artichoke
kidney beans
cranberries
cilantro
Vitamin A

Vitamin A encourages healthy skin cell production.Vitamin A also stimulates fibroblasts—the cells responsible for developing tissue that keeps skin firm and healthy—in the deep layers of your skin.

Foods high in vitamin A include:

carrots
sweet potato
beef liver
kale
spinach
appricots
broccoli
butter
eggs

These are loaded with vitamin E. Collectively, antioxidants act together like an army, protecting skin from free radicals, damaging agents introduced by things like UV rays and pollution. But E is on the front lines: Your skin's top layers contain high levels that guard cells' outer membrane so cells stay protected and healthy. Plus, strong membranes hold water in, keeping skin hydrated.

Strawberries, citrus fruits, red peppers, and broccoli

Vitamin C, plentiful in this produce, is vital for the production and formation of collagen, skin's support structure,A strong support layer underneath helps smooth what's on top and prevent wrinkles.

You'll get zinc and iron, minerals key to healthy skin functioning. Zinc contributes to cell production, plus natural cell sloughing, which keeps dullness at bay. Red blood cells need iron to carry oxygen to skin, helping give you a glow.

Water

Skin cells contain mostly water, and if you're dehydrated, skin will look and feel parched, too. But you needn't chug 8 cups a day—any source of H2O (that includes from fruits, veggies, and even coffee) counts toward your daily water intake. Simply ward off dehydration and dryness by drinking consistently throughout the day and, of course, whenever you're thirsty.

Whole grain foods

A few studies have found that a low-glycemic diet (more whole grains, protein and produce versus refined carbs such as white bread and sugar) may reduce acne.
