10 top foods for skin health

On the flip side, some foods seem to be asso­ci­at­ed with skin dam­age. For exam­ple, research sug­gests that a diet high in processed or refined sug­ars, refined car­bo­hy­drates (not com­plex car­bo­hy­drates like those found in pota­toes or legumes) and unhealthy fats pro­motes skin aging and acne, as well as oth­er health prob­lems. Additionally, excessive alcohol consumption can exacerbate these effects and contribute to overall skin health concerns.

Remem­ber, many of the best foods for healthy skin also pro­mote good health over­all. So focus on eat­ing a healthy and var­ied diet in gen­er­al, with plen­ty of fruits, veg­eta­bles, nuts, seeds and whole grain breads with low amounts of processed sug­ar. Your skin will thank you for it!
