Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants is good for your whole body, including your skin.
Antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamins C, E, and A can curb the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. These molecules can harm skin cells and cause signs of aging. B vitamins provide nourishment to the skin improving skin elasticity.
Minerals such as zinc support the maintenance and structure of the skin. Vitamin C works well against the effects of sun exposure. Also helps reduce skin damage caused by the Sun, as well as reducing the appearance of wrinkles, making your skin smoother. Food sources include sunflower seeds, almonds, peaches, tomatoes, cabbage and avocados. Vitamin A is involved in skin repair and maintenance, so deficiency results in a dry, flaky complexion.
