Healthy Skin on the Menu Part 2

Berries

Skin's Best Friend introduce

Brightly colored berries contain antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals that can damage the DNA of healthy skin cells. Blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries have some of the highest antioxidant levels of any food — and new research has found a link between the antioxidants in these berries and decreased incidence of UV damage.

This delicious parfait offers an easy way to load up on antioxidants, as well as the omega-3s in flaxseed and walnuts, another important skin nutrient.

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.

How to Tell Your Skin Type

Skin's Best Friend introduce

There are 5 basic skin care types: oily, combination (normal), sensitive, dry and sun-damaged. Your skin type is determined by how much -- or how little -- oil your skin produces. Genes, diet, stress level, hormonal fluctuations, medication and even your skincare regimen all determine how much oil your skin produces.
