Healthy diet = Healthy looking skin!

What you put in your body reflects how it looks on the outside. Try including the following foods in your daily diet and your skin will be glowing and clear in no time.

1. Oily fish like salmon or tuna
 Eating fish provides your body with biotin, a B vitamin that, among its many functions, produces fatty acids and metabolises amino acids (the building blocks of protein). A deficiency of biotin can cause, among other things, scaly skin.

2. Chia seeds
 Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain cell membranes by protecting the skin and providing it with moisture. Chia seeds and walnuts are rich in these fatty acids (great choices if you’re a vegetarian), as is oily fish.
3. Sweet potatoes
 Eating a produce-rich diet provides your body with lots of water, keeping your skin and other cells adequately hydrated. And loading up on colourful, deeply-coloured fruits and vegetables — especially those rich in vitamin A, like sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach — has been shown to enhance skin colour and appearance by increasing its yellowness and redness.
4. Almonds
 Packed with vitamin E, almonds can help you maintain healthy skin. Whilst eating these nuts cannot replace sunscreen, it’s worth noting that vitamin E may also protect the skin from damage caused by the sun.
5. Sunflower seeds
 These little seeds provide an excellent source of vitamin E and help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals in the environment and in the body (free radicals in excess can harm body cells, including skin cells).
6. Complex carbs
 Processed foods and white flour can increase inflammation and cause acne flair-ups. Replace pasta and white rice with complex carbs like barley, quinoa, beans, and brown rice — foods that are all lower on the glycemic index.
7. Orange juice
Freshly squeezed orange juice provides fluids to keep you hydrated and Vitamin C, which works as an antioxidant to protect skin and other cells from damage caused by free radicals in the environment and in the body. Vitamin C also helps create collagen, the body’s main structural protein.
