After posting about food that's good for your hair(and nails), I'm dedicating this post to our skin. I believe that what you eat, eventually shows on the outside and makes you even more beautiful(is that's even possible..) Besides eating the right food; always make sure to get enough sleep, drink lots of water and exercise at least 30 minutes a day to keep your blood circulated.
1.Low Fat Yogurt
Why?
It's full of vitamin A. This essential vitamin does wonders for our skin. If you have a thyroid problem or diabetes that’s another reason for you to stock up on organic law fat yogurts!
2. Berries
Why?
They have a great antioxidant capacity which means- the more of these we have, the longer our skin will look youthful and healthy!

3. Salmon
Why?
Our skin needs essential fatty acids.It's full of omega 3 an 6. You could also eat walnuts, flax seeds or canola oil.This helps to moisturize your skin from the inside.
4. Green tea
Why?
Why?
It contains poly-phenols which have anti-inflammatory characteristics.It will keep your skin from aging early
5.Avocado
Why?
It's rich in B-complex vitamins and essential oils and works like an anti- inflammatory agent. It also soothes the skin that is red, irritated or blotchy.
7. Mango(yes!)
Why?
It's full of vitamin A which repairs your skin cells so that your skin doesn't look flaky.
8. Almonds and other nuts
Why?
Vitamin E helps to moisturize the skin from within.
9. Cottage cheese
Why?
It's full of calcium and selenium which is an essential mineral for a youthful, glowing skin.
After doing my 'research' for this post I decided to combine this post, with the one about great hair(and nails)and came up with some recipes I'm using tomorrow to boost up my own hair and skin.
