Win with your Skin

This month, we will be looking at how to take care of our skin, head to toe, for the short term and long term.

Today we are focusing on our diet...


Vitamins through the food we eat are vital for the outward appearance of our skin: To have truly healthy skin we must first start with what we eat and drink. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits and nuts. They have plenty of antioxidants that can combat what free radicals do to our cells. Some foods that are particularly high in antioxidants are blueberries, cranberries, pinto beans, red beans, apples, pecans and artichokes.



Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. The skin needs water as much as the rest of the body. Green tea is also high in antioxidants. If you drink the decaf kind, you won't get as many. Depending on the way the tea is decaffeinated determines how many antioxidants are left. A good rule of thumb is only count on half the amount in decaf.


Have a wonderful day!

Keep Smiling,

Lesley ;)
