The phrase "you are what you eat" means that food choices have ramifications for your skin as well as your waistline. Beauty-tips.net recently offered some tips for what foods people should eat if they are looking to improve the look of their skin.
"A diet rich in 'phyto-compounds' can stimulate DNA repair, increased collagen production, reduce inflammation and improve blood flow. This not only keeps you healthy but it keeps you looking younger, longer," according to the beauty news site.
The Mayo Clinic states that these compounds can be found in fruits, and are "life-sustaining" and "crucial to your health."
Beauty Tips suggested eating blueberries, which can help improve skin's elasticity and strengthen the gums. The news source also recommended pomegranate, which has antioxidant properties that have been shown to fight off free radicals that damage skin.
If eating fruit isn't really your thing, there are many African American skin care products that contain natural ingredients such as green tea, pomegranate and soy.
