22. 1. Water . The number one thing that you can put into your body if you want great-
looking skin is water. The more water you drink, the more you flush all of the
other stuff out of your body and the healthier your skin is going to look.
2. Green tea. When you’re not drinking water, you should be drinking green tea. It
has many, many different health benefits including benefits for the skin. You
can drink it cold or warm. Avoid adding sugar or milk to it if you want the best
benefits for your skin.
3. Tomatoes. This is another food that is rich in anti-oxidants and so will have the
same skin-boosting benefits that the cantaloupe will give to you.
4. Broccoli. This is a great vegetable that has many different health benefits which
is why you’re always hearing that you should “eat your broccoli”. One of the
things it contains a whole lot of is Vitamin A, a vitamin that is great at improving
the turnover of cells in the skin. This means that when you eat broccoli, your skin
gets renewed more quickly and the freshest (nicest looking) skin is on top
where everyone you meet can see it.
5. Carrots. If you want to get your Vitamin A but you aren’t that big of a fan of
leafy green vegetables then you may want to turn to carrots to improve your
skin with this vitamin.
