If you care about your skin, you already know that you should wash your face regularly and use high-quality African American skin care products rather than cheap cosmetics that can cause irritation. What you may not realize, however, is that it's possible to improve your complexion by eating the right foods - foods that are good for your overall health as well as your appearance.
Dermatologist Susan Taylor has done extensive research on the best foods for the skin, and has some recommendations to offer for women who want a glowing, youthful-looking appearance.
“Eating a variety of healthy foods and drinking plenty of water so the skin stays hydrated should help most people improve the appearance of their skin," said Taylor, who added that following the USDA food pyramid is a good place to start for improving the health of your skin and body.
Taylor suggested eating fruits and vegetables that are a good source of vitamin A, such a spinach and mangoes, since this nutrient helps maintain and repair skin tissue. She also recommended vitamins C and E, which contain antioxidants that have been shown to help protect the skin against harmful sun rays and free radicals that are a result of pollution.
