Gaining Back a More Youthful Glow

I read in a beauty magazine that at birth, our skin is in the best shape will ever be - its velvety soft, free of discoloration and virtually perfect. But years of sun exposure, lifestyle choices and other external factors and skin conditions can damage our complexion and rob it of the healthy glow that we all want.  The article recommended regular facials vs. peels.

Eating healthier will help keep your skin looking younger. Orange veggies like carrots and sweet potatoes are loaded with Vitamin A which restores and regenerates damaged collagen. Fish creates stronger skin cells and it's rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Tuna and salmon are two fishes to include in your diet. Water-based veggies like cucumber, broccoli, swiss chard, sweet potatoes, asparagus and celery have a lot of sulfur which produces collagen. Red veggies provides sun protection. Tomatoes, peppers, beets contain an antioxidant - lycopene that acts as a natural sunblock. All good stuff to know.
