Tips to Improve Your Skin Through Proper Nutrition |
- Drink water at least 10 glasses a day.
- Avoid fried foods. When using oils, try cold-pressed oils. Throw away any oil that has been in your cabinet for longer than six months. Oils should be refrigerated except for the small amount you may use in a week; keep in a small container.
- Eat minimal sugar, chocolate, and potato chips, otherwise known as junk foods, which have little nutritional value.

- The sulfur found in garlic, onions, and asparagus will aid in keeping the skin nice.
- Vitamin E and aloe are very good to use topically on your skin
- Drink minimal amounts of soft drinks.
- If you have a skin irritation and suspect a food allergy, eliminate suspected food and keep a food record to monitor your reaction.
