Your skin plays an important part in defending against infections and protecting you from
harmful elements, which is why it’s important to take care of it.
Individuals of all ages should be vigilant in keeping it healthy.
There are numerous natural methods that aid in skin health, including eating right and
limiting exposure to the sun.
General Skin Care Tips
One major way to keep your skin healthy is to avoid direct sunlight.
If you have to be exposed, it’s important to keep your skin protected by wearing a sunscreen.
Other ways to care for your skin include drinking plenty of water, avoiding stress, and finding
the right skin care products.
A common question many people have regarding skin care products is does Dermaclara really work?
It’s important to take time to read and learn about a skin care product before you buy it.
Many products for the skin differ greatly from one another so it’s important to find the right
one for your needs.
Another factor that plays big role in healthy skin is eating the right foods.
Keep the following five in mind next time you go to the grocery store:
1. Green Tea
Green tea is full of antioxidants, phytochemicals, amino acids, and enzymes.
This type of tea also has B vitamins, folate, potassium, and magnesium.
Drink green tea daily or use it in your beauty masks to improve your complexion,
reduce dark circles, eliminate eye puffiness, treat pimples, and fights signs of aging.
2. Olive Oil
Olive oil promotes skin health because it contains the antioxidant vitamin E.
Olive oil works to moisturize your skin and reduce the signs of aging.
Not only can you eat more foods cooked in olive oil, but you can also apply it directly
to your skin.
Right after a shower, massage olive oil on your skin, especially your face.
Leave it on for approximately 15 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
3. Strawberries
Strawberries have anti-aging properties because they are packed with vitamin C.
This beneficial vitamin helps to keep skin hydrated and stimulates collagen.
Other ways that strawberries aid in skin health include:
· Offering protection from UV rays.
· Treating eye puffiness.
· Improves complexion.
· Cleanses.
· Prevents acne.
Not only do strawberries promote skin health by being eaten, but you can also
create a simple mask out of the fruit.
Take three or four strawberries and mash them in a bowl and rub the juices on your face.
Leave the strawberries on your skin for approximately 20 minutes and rinse with cold water.
4. Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate makes a delicious treat, but it also contains many properties that keep skin
soft, moist, and smooth.
It also helps to detoxify your skin, removing dead skin to expose fresh skin.
Make sure to purchase dark chocolate with at least 70 to 85 percent cocoa and containing
potassium, zinc, and selenium.
5. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is great for your skin and you can get the benefits from enjoying a bowl or applying it
directly to your skin.
Oatmeal removes dryness, treats acne, moisturizes skin, lightens skin, relieves itching, and
treats poison ivy.

Interesting article Deborah about the best foods to eat for skin care. I can’t say enough about hydrating with water, Here in the dry desert area of southern Arizona where I live, it is of the utmost importance. Pears are very juicy and hydrating and I eat them as often as I can. Nancy A.
