Foods that are good for your face


It's relatively well-known that eating right and drinking plenty of water is a great way to get glowing skin. However, did you know that some of the things that you may be used to tossing in a salad can be great topical remedies for the skin?


For instance, soy is packed with protein, healthy fats and antioxidants. NaturalHealthRemedies.org reports that it can also help skin appear smoother and perhaps even reduce wrinkles. There's no need to blend leftover edamame into a face mask, however, since many skin care products today contain soy extract.


If applying foods directly to your face does sound appealing, then Oprah.com has some good news. The website reports that a blend of avocado, honey and plain yogurt makes for an ultra-moisturizing mask.


Individuals who are looking for a more exfoliating treatment may want to try Oprah's oatmeal face scrub. In a food processor or coffee bean grinder, chop 16 whole raw almonds together with about 4 tablespoons of oats until the mixture is consistent. Combine the nuts and oats with 4 tablespoons of honey and 4 teaspoons of plain yogurt or water, enough to form a paste. Apply this to your face and leave on for about 10 minutes, following up with a moisturizer.
