Fatty Fish
Salmon, mackerel and herring are all examples of fatty fish. As they all contain omega-3 fatty acids, these kinds of fish are supposed to help the skin getting thicker, moisturized and elastic.
Avocado
Avocados are sources of healthy fat which helps preventing the skin from getting dry and less susceptible to wrinkles, beyond other benefits. But that is not all: avocados are also excellent against sun, one the biggest enemies of our skin.
Walnuts
Walnuts cointain fatty acids that the body cannot make itself. They are very rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids but with a good ratio of both: while a diet too high in omega-6 fats can promote inflammation, omega-3 fats help reducing this risk.
Sunflower Seeds
Seeds in general are excellent sources of skin-boosting nutrients; one ounce of sunflower seeds, specifically, contains 37% of the RDI for vitamin E, 10% of the RDI for zinc and 32% of the RDI for selenium.
Sweet Potatoes
Together with oranges, carrots and spinach, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene functions as provitamin A, which means it can be converted into vitamin A in the body.
