Healthy Skin on the Menu Part 1



Skin's Best Friend introduce



Glowing, healthy skin requires a two-step approach. You need to use cleanser, moisturizer, and treatments that address your skin's needs from the outside. But you must also nourish it from the inside, eating plenty of foods with nutrients that keep your complexion calm and provide support on the cellular level.
We consulted skin and nutrition experts like Jessica Wu, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at USC Medical School and author of Feed Your Face. We also scrutinized the latest research to compile a top 10 list of the best foods for your skin and easy ways to incorporate them into delicious dishes. Try these recipes for healthy skin and your complexion will never go hungry!

Bell Peppers


Whatever color you choose to put on your plate, bell peppers offer amazing skin benefits. Peppers contain high levels of vitamin C which is a crucial nutrient for collagen production. Vitamin C also helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, agents that attack a cell's DNA.
