Eat your way to better skin
Dieting is about more than just your dress size. We all know that eating the wrong foods can cause spots, or even worse, wrinkles, so it makes sense that eating the good stuff can improve the condition of your skin.
And, as 67% of you told us you care more about your face than your body, we thought it was about time we reconsidered diets and what they should do for us. We called on the skincare experts the celebrities have on speed dial to find out exactly what you should be eating to get A-List skin.
Read what they told us here…
Oats
Oats are one of the best foods for keeping skin, hair and nails strong and healthy. ‘Biotin, a nutrient that forms the basis of our skin, nails and hair cells is found in oatmeal’ explains Dr Debra Luftman.
The food equivalent of a multi-vitamin, ‘oats contain small but significant quantities of several essential vitamins, while also being a great source of manganese, magnesium, selenium and iron, as well as zinc and copper,’ raves Dr Perricone.
Make sure to start your day with a bowl of porridge or cereal high in oats. Just avoid added sugar, to sweeten use fruits or a little honey.
