Many foods, along with being good for our general
health, are especially good for our skin. More and more we’re seeing these
foods as ingredients in beauty products. For a double-dose of anti-aging, you
should eat these foods as well as apply beauty products using them.
Soy is rich in hyaluronic acid, a substance that
attracts moisture and keeps skin looking plump. Along with using soy-based
products in your beauty regime, add edamame and tofu to your diet.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, so the saying
goes, but it’s also full of vitamin A which your body coverts to retinoic acid.
Retinoic acid helps with skin cell rejuvenation. Serums infused with apple will
even out skin tones.
Grapes have anti-inflammatory properties and can calm
redness and soothe skin, and grape seed oil helps shrink pores. That’s why
you’ll find it in many facial toners.

Environmental stressors, such as pollution and the
sun, break down collagen, causing skin to thin and sag. Guava is high in
vitamin C, an anti-oxidant that helps counter these stress factors. One food
very high in vitamin C is guava. You’ll find it in some body creams.
