These are my three tips every woman needs to know to have healthy, glowing, beautiful skin naturally, by protecting, renewing and nourishing the skin through the foods that we eat. By using these tips you could save hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars in treatments, creams or even surgery.
1: Eat Foods Rich in Antioxidants

Antioxidants will protect against the damage caused by free radicals and can even reverse the effect of this damage. Most of us are exposed to these unstable oxygen molecules daily through pollution, the effects of the sun and cigarette smoke.
Some of The most common everyday foods we eat that contain antioxidants are:
Fruits: blueberries, strawberries, citrus fruits, apricots, Acai berries, tomatoes.
Vegetables: Spinach and other leafy greens, cauliflower, broccoli, Sweet potatoes, green and red peppers, squash, carrots.
Other Sources: Nuts, grains, Soy, Olive oil, fish and fish-liver oil, chicken, red meat, eggs, red wine.
2: Drink 8-10 Glasses of Water a Day
Anti-aging experts agree that to have healthy skin one vital ingredient is water. As a whole we do not drink the amount of water daily to keep our largest organ, the skin, hydrated. The skin becomes dry, has a parched look, loses its ability to retain moisture and will feel tight after washing.
The first thing you have to do is get into a habit of drinking water, many of us just forget to drink, and don't know the real signs of your body becoming dehydrated.
If you are thirsty you are already dehydrated, one thing I do is take a bottle of water with me everywhere I go so I can drink when I want to. When I started doing this people noticed the difference in my skin, within a week I had work colleagues saying I had a healthy glow and what moisturizer I was using, They were shocked when I told them I was just drinking water regularly throughout the day.
So get into the habit of drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day, not only will your skin look and feel wonderful you will have more energy and feel healthier as a result.
3: Include Vitamin C, A, E and B in your daily intake for beautiful skin
Last but not least, to have beautiful healthy skin we need certain vitamins. Lack of these vitamins can make skin lifeless, blotchy and dull. A number of studies reveal that certain vitamins and minerals, when taken internally, can positively influence skin appearance and beauty.
