The good news is, most of the foods that are good for your skin are also good for your overall health. Some of these skin-friendly foods include:

• Fruits, especially melons, pears, cherries, berries, and apples that are loaded with antioxidants
• Vegetables, especially eggplant, celery, green leafy vegetables, and onions
• Legumes, especially broad beans and lima beans
• Fish
• Nuts
• Olive Oil

In addition to eating more healthy foods, younger looking skin may mean avoiding other foods. In many cases, the foods that are most likely to negatively impact your waistline are the same foods that can increase your risk for skin damage and wrinkles. If you want to keep the wrinkles at bay, studies suggest avoiding excessive amounts of meat and full-fat milk and dairy products.

In addition to paying attention to what you eat, drinking plenty of water can also help your skin stay hydrated and younger looking. Hydration is also important to your overall health. You can prevent skin aging by using sunscreen and avoiding overexposure to direct sunlight.

A Healthy Diet Is More Effective

The best way to have healthy skin is by eating a healthy diet that includes high amounts of raw fruits and vegetables, proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains, and staying hydrated with lots of water.

As you get older, your skin becomes more porous. Fruits and vegetables hydrate and deliver nutrients, and, when supplemented with water, become an effective health and beauty regimen on their own. You can also try “over-the-counter” beverages such as green or black tea, water with lemon, or sparkling raspberry soda, which all have proven scientific benefits.

Beauty Beverages Can Supplement a Healthy Diet, Not Replace It

According to Los Angeles dermatologist, founder of Murad Skincare, and associate clinical professor of dermatology of UCLA, Howard Murad, “I have tried to put adequate amounts of supplements in drinks, but they aren’t palatable at the levels required to see benefits. Plus, to make a supplement drinkable, you need to add preservatives, emulsifiers, and sweeteners.” He continues that supplements can be a good backup plan for healthy eating.

Other experts say that certain nutrients can help the skin, but that drinking them in liquid form will not yield the same results as a healthy diet. New York nutritionist Keri Glassman, MS, RD, CDN, author of “A Nutritious Life” and “The O2 Diet,” says that any beauty beverage should be consumed in addition to water, and should only be consumed if you ensure that it contains less than 15 grams of sugar.

Topical Application May Be Better

Since your blood flows through the subdermal fat that makes up 80% of your skin, it is possible that a “beauty beverage” could deliver easily absorbable nutrients that benefit your skin directly. And while supplements in a powder or a liquid may be absorbed quicker and more effectively than those in food or pills, experts say that topical applications may be the best method to get nutrients right to your skin. Francesca Fusco, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, says that, “When applied directly to the skin, ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin A, and peptides show better results, and faster.”

Many successful dieters find that they want dermal fillers after losing weight because the excess weight in their faces acted as its own dermal filler. With weight loss, many of them notice the fine lines in their foreheads that were not there before they started losing weight.
