Foods For A Glowing Complexion

Blueberries
One of the healthiest fruits for your skin! When compared with 40 fruits and vegetables by the U.S. Department of Agriculture it was ranked number one in antioxidant activity. Antioxidants protect the skin from premature aging. 

Wild Salmon
This fish has lots of omega-3 fatty acids, which help keeps your skin supple and hydrated. These acids actually slow down the wrinkling process and fight acne. Both wrinkling and acne are caused by inflammation. Eating salmon or fish rich in omega-3s 3 times per week, or taking a daily fish oil supplement can significantly lower inflammation. Salmon also contains a mineral called selenium, which protects the skin from exposure to the harsh rays of the sun.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, an anti-aging antioxidant. Tomatoes have also been known to clear up acne, by lowering an acne promoting hormone. Try eating tomatoes or tomato-based foods at least 3 times per week. But remember, lycopene is more easily absorbed when the tomatoes are cooked. 

Green tea

Green tea is also packed with antioxidants that have anti-aging benefits and help fight acne. Drink 3 cups per day to reap all the benefits!

Sweet Potatoes

This vegetable is loaded with the anti-aging antioxidant, beta carotene. Beta carotene can protect the skin from sun damage.
