Healthy food for skin care

Chinese yam

This is an excellent source of B complex vitamins and also contains a good amount of antioxidants and Vitamin C. It stimulates the production of the skin collagen and brings smoothness and elasticity to the skin. Yam also renews damaged skin and improves the smoothness of the skin.

Tremella fuciformis

It is rich in plant collagen protein which is excellent for skin moisture retention and skin flexibility, as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Their ability to prevent senile degeneration of micro-vessels also helps maintain blood perfusion to the skin.

Salmon, Walnuts, and Flax Seed

These seemingly unrelated foods all deliver essential fatty acid such as omega-3 and omega-6 that boost hydration. Essential fatty acids are responsible for healthy cell membranes which act as barriers to harmful things. The stronger that barrier is the better your cells can hold moisture.

Blackberries, blueberries and strawberries

The common link between these foods is their high antioxidant content. Studies show these fruits have the highest total antioxidant capacity of any food. They are also excellent sources of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, riboflavin and insoluble fiber.
