Want truly fabulous skin -- glowing, vibrant, and , yes, younger-looking skin? Make sure you're putting foods for healthy skin on your plate.
Everything that we eat is reflecting in our body the healthier food that we eat the healthy body we will have.
Here are healthy food for skin.
1.Low fat yogurt
Low fat dairy products are full of vitamin A. This essential vitamin does wonders for our skin. If you have a thyroid problem or diabetes that’s another reason for you to stock up on organic law fat yogurts!
2. Berries.
I am talking about plums, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. These berries have a great antioxidant capacity which means – the more of these we have, the longer our skin will look youthful and healthy!.
3. Salmon Fish.
Our skin needs essential fatty acids. If fish isn’t your thing, try walnuts, flax seed or canola oil. All these will give you an amazing result! Omega 3 and Omega 6 may sound like a Sci-fi flick, but these fatty acids are a must for a beautiful, well moisturized skin.
4. Green tea.
This drink contains polyphenols which have anti-inflammatory characteristics. And despite what they say, a good tea will not dehydrate your body, it will only work as an anti-oxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent that’ll keep bacteria at bay and will fight off those free radicals that make our skin age early.
5.Orange.
It contian Potassium which helps maintain electrolyte balance in the cells.
6. Water.
Good hydration is our skin’s best friend, right? And I’m talking about good bottled or filtered water in its purest form and not sodas or energy drinks. So ensure that you’re getting at least 8 glasses of water a day for your beautiful skin.
7.Avocado.
Is rich in B-complex vitamins and essential oils and works like an anti-inflammatory agent. It also soothes skin that is red, irritated or blotchy. You can even mix it with yogurt and berries to add some flavor!
8. Mangoes.
Lots of vitamin A is in store with this skin do-gooder! This fruit will repair your skin cells so that your skin doesn’t look flaky. It has only 70 calories per serving so it’s ideal for your weight loss program as well.
9. Almonds.
Vitamin E helps to moisturize your skin from within. It also protects your skin from damage and premature aging. Eating almonds can help your facial tissue stay in its best shape for years!
10. Cottage cheese.
Apart from calcium, cottage cheese is great for selenium and it’s an essential mineralfor a youthful, glowing skin.
They you have it once you go to grocery try to look of them and try.I already try the orange, avocado, mangoes and it's very healthy.

Good article! I would add also pumpkin and tomatoes. They have much vitamin A too. Carrots are not recommended, because they have many carotine and if you consume too much of them, your skin may have yellow color.

I really appreciated your comments that's true carrot are not recommended. Too much carrot in our body will can result which creates a yellowing of the skin, mostly noticeable in the hands and soles of the feet. Infants and young children are most susceptible. This is due to too much beta-carotene in the diet.Pumpkin and tomatoes are great too I used to eat them too.
