How a person eats can affect their skin health


There are many products that can help protect the skin from aging and sun damage. For ethnic women, African American skin care products with added SPF can keep skin healthy and looking great. Along with these products, Allure magazine reported on foods that can boost skin's resistance against damage.


According to the magazine, Australian researchers evaluated the diets of over 1,000 people to determine if what they were eating was affecting their skin. They found that drinking half a glass of red wine a day could lead to a 27 percent reduction of an individual's chance of developing skin blemishes. Researchers found similar results with fish oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids.


"It's definitely true that diet can play an important role in all skin conditions -- not just helping combat wrinkles and lines, but other skin problems as well, including acne, eczema, psoriasis even dry flaking or very oily skin," said biochemist Elaine Linker, PhD, quoted by WebMD.


There are many skin care products for black skin that contain some of the healthy extracts that come from red wine and other foods.
