There is a belief amongst many women that if you eat the best food for healthy skin you will have healthier better looking skin. And there is an element of truth to that.

The bad news though is that you will not find a list of all those healthy foods for healthy skin, there is no secret formula for achieving great looking skin simply by eating the right foods.

You know the formula well I’m sure. You need to reduce your intake of salt and sugar, eat less saturated fat and eat more vegetables and fruit. Drink alcohol in moderation, do more exercise, don’t smoke and drink more water. Doing all that will improve your overall health and will also improve the health of your skin. If you spend your time on the couch eating pizzas and burgers it’s difficult to have great looking skin.

Most people know this, but many fail to achieve it because it isn’t easy to do. When you’re faced with that extra bucket of chips or that super-sized burger or that delicious soft drink it’s hard to resist. You know you should but you don’t.

It’s exactly the same for anyone searching for the best foods for healthy skin. There’s no list of special foods that I can give you that will allow you to improve your skin by eating those foods if you keep eating those pizzas and burgers as well.

Here is a simple recipe, follow it and you should improve your skin health over time. Not only that but you will get healthier as well. But it’s not necessarily easy.

1. Eat less salt sugar and saturated fat.

2. Eat more fruit and also eat more vegetables.

3. Drink more water and drink less alcohol.

4. Get fitter by exercising more.

5. If you smoke then stop.

6. Don’t get sunburned and don’t expose your skin to ultraviolet radiation in summer in the middle of the day.

If you do those 6 things then you will, over a period of time, get healthier and your skin will get healthier as well.

If you add 2 more things to this recipe can you improve your chances of better skin health dramatically. The first of these is to start taking daily Omega 3 capsules that include lycopene as an active ingredient. These have recently become available.

It has been shown that lycopene promotes some natural skin sun protection and can also reverse skin sun damage. As damage to your skin from excess UV exposure over time is one of the principal causes of premature skin aging this is good news.

Secondly you should be using the highest quality natural skin care products. These really do work extremely well and are not filled with chemical ingredients as is the case with so many of the big name brand in care products.

So if you’re someone searching for the best foods for healthy skin there you have a recipe. I can’t tell you 3 or 4 foods that, if you eat them, will give you great looking skin. Eating for skin health is all about eating for good health overall.
