Eat Right for Healthy Skin

Posted: April 27th, 2012

Everyone wants to have great skin. Trying to maintain skin that is clear, youthful and healthy can be confusing if you don't know what to do to get the results you want. There are some simple things you can do like washing your face before going to bed and keeping your skin hydrated with moisturizer. Another way to keep your skin looking beautiful is by eating healthy foods. The foods that you eat every day can have an effect on your skin. Eating foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals will help keep your skin looking great. If you are looking to have clear skin, it is important to eat foods rich in selenium, a derivative of vitamin C. Selenium is necessary for skin cells to develop and reproduce properly. Foods like tuna, brazil nuts and whole wheat bread are high in selenium. Green tea is also great for the skin. This type of tea has anti-inflammatory properties. People with oily or acne-prone skin will benefit from drinking green tea on a regular basis. Maintaining healthy skin is easy if you know what to do. Visiting a spa and getting regular facials from an esthetician will also benefit your skin.
