Eating for Great Skin

For all the creams and treatments that are out there promising beautiful skin, why not start on the inside, with your diet? They say you are what you eat and great skin really does start with a great diet. Eat the superfoods for a healthy glow that starts from within.

Look for foods that are high in Vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin A helps with the skin’s surface, kind of like an internal sunscreen. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps form collagen, which gives skins it’s elascticity- and youthful glow. Vitamin E protects the skin from sun damage.

Here’s how to put these things in your skin rather than on them: Start with dark leafy greens – they include a triple punch of Vitamins A, C and E.?I eat Dole Leafy Romaine as part of my skin care routine- no kidding. I top it with Honey Mustard Dressing, sliced red onions and crumbled bacon. Most beauty routines don’t taste like that! Of course like all beauty routines, you can’t do it once in a while and still expect results. Try to include leafy greens in your meal plans every day. Your skin will thank you.
