Food for The Glowing Skin

Eating right isn't just good for your health, it's good for your skin too, according to a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

"Healthy skin, like a healthy body, does not come from one or two nutrients: says Lynn Goldstein, MS, RD, CON, a dietitian at Weill Cornell Medical College. "Your skin is a sign of what is going on inside your body. You need to put good, healthy things inside to get the healthy look on the outside."
  • Stay hydrated. Experts recommend eight to 10 glasses of water a day to avoid dryness.
  • Moisturize. Using a quality moisturizer daily can help keep your skin healthy, especially during the winter months.

Wear sunscreen, even in the wintertime. The sun's I damaging ultraviolet rays can hurt your skin any time of the year.
