5 Healthy Skin Foods

A few of these essential healthy skin foods may be surprising to us, but when we think about other skin care products, they will make much more sense.

1) Chocolate (Hydrate and Glow): 

Chocolate, as we know is made from Cocoa, Cocoa which has been seen in many moisturizing products is for added firmness, it hydrates, and makes skin supple.  Cocoa is also an antioxidant which is great for skin recovery. When used as a product to apply on skin, the caffeine in cocoa helps to bring down any swelling. Sometimes, turn to products that have Cocoa in it that will cut those hefty calories out!

2) Yogurt (Wrinkle Fighter):

Yogurt is a type of protein, not always looked at one for protein support, but definitely does the trick. Yogurt is beneficial to us because it helps our skin become firm.  The main thing that Yogurt provides for our skin is less wrinkles! If you can shy away wrinkles by eating Yogurt daily, why not! Maybe those wrinkle products may not be as necessary anymore.  Like always, I love giving tips to help your health and your wallet.  This is definitely one of them.  In terms of protein, Greek yogurt is known to have double the protein, check the labels while shopping.  This also helps with dry and sensitive skin.

3) Sunflower Seeds (Skin Brightener):

These are a great source of Vitamin E; this is our protection from the sun's harmful rays.  In fact, it helps us from burning quickly.  If you feel that your skin burns quickly in the sun, try eating sunflower seeds or get more Vitamin E in your body and compare it to the past.  You will definitely see a difference in time.  This does not mean you can bake in the sun and you will be okay, Vitamin E is just a fighter to combat the after effects of sun damage and help reduce the amount of damage that can be done.  The main thing that Sunflower seeds will do for you, is brighten the look of your skin.  This is why Vitamin E oils are usually used to help reduce scars and blemishes.

4) Kidney Beans (Blemish Fighter):

 Kidney Beans are high in zinc; zinc is added in some topical body and face lotions in order to combat blemishes.  Blemishes are usually greater in those with deficiencies in zinc.  Try to have four ounces of kidney beans a day in order to keep that acne away.

5) Walnuts (Skin Softener):

Here, this one should help you easily get your boyfriend/husband to soften his hands and feet without telling him.  A lotion with Walnuts is probably what you or he needs.  It contains copper, which helps increase the amount of collagen in your skin. A handful a day will keep your skin's elasticity without drying and softens your skin simultaneously.
