Foods for Great Skin
BY ANNE MARIE

Ban Blemishes
One of the best foods for helping zap zits is salmon, says Lisa Drayer, a registered dietitian and author ofThe Beauty Diet. “Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, and acne may be caused by taking in too little omega-3 fats,” which can be found in salmon, sardines and flax seeds, “in relation to omega-6 fats,” in the form of processed foods that contain soybean oil. “Such an imbalance can cause inflammation, leading to blocked pores that cause an overproduction of oil,” says Drayer.
Fix Fine Lines
“Eggs are high in lutein and zeaxanthin, which strengthen the cells and help to smooth fine lines and wrinkles,” says Lora Krulak, nutritionist and author ofVeggies for Carnivores. “Lutein can also build the elastin (the connective tissue that allows skin to keep its shape) in the skin over time.” But eat the whiteand the yolk, which contains the most lutein and zeaxanthin
Diminish Dark Circles
“You can easily detect someone who is dehydrated by the dark circles under their eyes,” says Krulak. When you're not properly hydrated, the blood vessels underneath the eyes dilate. And because the skin in that area is so thin, those blood vessels make the circles look even darker. Though water alone won't combat the "raccoon" look, it can help make them less conspicuous, so Krulak recommends drinking at least six to eight cups of pure filtered water a day.
Soft and Smooth Skin
“Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, which gets converted to vitamin A in the body and keeps skin soft and smooth,” says Drayer. Do your skin a favor, though, and don’t eat them in their traditional Thanksgiving form—that is, drowning in sugar and butter. Try roasting or baking them instead.
Avocado Glow
Adding avocados to your diet will give skin an added glow, says Drayer. “They are filled with natural oils that help to hydrate the skin,” adds Krulak. “Avocados are very rich sources of vitamins C, E and lutein,” nutrients that also have anti-inflammatory, anti-aging properties.
