    What Are the Best Foods for Your Complexion?

    You've probably heard the saying You are what you eat. This is truer than you may know! Diet plays a big role in the appearance and health of your skin. While some foods have been linked to acne and other skin problems other foods can contribute to a glowing and radiant complexion. Here are a few important superfoods to work into your diet for your healthiest skin ever.

    Eggs

    Eggs are high in protein which your body needs to build collagen the substance responsible for holding your skin together and preventing sagging and wrinkles. Egg yolks are also high in zinc and selenium two minerals that contribute to healthy skin by clearing acne and reducing the size of your pores.

    Sweet Potatoes

    Sweet potatoes are high in beta carotene which helps more than your eyes. Beta carotene is a protective antioxidant and precursor of vitamin A. The body converts beta carotene into vitamin A or retinol to help your skin look young and supple. This important antioxidant also helps protect your skin against harm from free radicals and sun exposure.

    Garlic

    Garlic is high in allicin a chemical that helps kill harmful bacteria that cause acne skin infections and other problems. Garlic also boasts a huge array of antioxidants that protect your skin against free radical damage. Eat garlic raw in a salad or on a meal for the greatest benefit.
