With the winter setting in, central heating is kicking in, and you may notice your skin is dry, broken and fighting off blemish outbreaks.
We’ve rounded up five foods to help you keep smooth skin through to springtime…
Nuts
Nuts in general are great for your skin but almonds and Brazil nuts are the best choice for clear skin. Almonds contain Vitamin E which defends against sun damage while Brazil nuts prevent blemishes and age spots.
Greek Yoghurt
For those who are looking to prevent wrinkles, increase your protein intake with a pot of Greek yoghurt. The yoghurt also helps fight premature lines.
Fish
Fish is not only packed with zinc which keeps skin soft, but it also keeps your sebaceous glands, which produce oil, functioning normally. Add this to your dinners to keep your skin glowing and fresh.
Oranges
Vitamin C isn’t just for fighting colds and flu! The vitamin in this fruit gives you a glowing complexion, prevents against blemishes and strengthens the skin. So get peeling those oranges!
Chocolate
As if you needed another reason to munch on one of your favourite snacks! The main ingredient cocoa hydrates, making your skin both firm and supple. Chocolate also contains antioxidants which are good for you and the caffeine in it can also reduce puffiness. Another good reason to grab a square or two for dessert!
