Bangalore: People of all ages spend thousands on cosmetics in the dream of making their skin beautiful and glowing. These expensive products seldom prove beneficial and moreover are very expensive. If you give a further thought in to your diet and include some of the below mentioned foods, it can result in miracles.

Seafood

Seafood contains active components such as Omega-3 fatty acids and zinc which helps in the smoothening and glowing of the skin. Omega-3 is good for the skin as it helps to reduce dryness and inflammation and zinc helps in fighting acne. Different types of fish, especially oysters and salmon can do marvels on your skin as well as overall health. Fish oil is also a good option for curing skin diseases like psoriasis and eczema.

 

Citrus Fruits

Vitamin C is the main element in citrus fruits which serves in the production of collagen. Collagen is the protein which forms the fundamental structure of skin. Fruits such as grapefruits, oranges, acerola cherries and tomatoes prevent wrinkles by tightening the skin. These fruits also moisturize, freshen, lighten the skin colour and make the skin look younger. The juice of citrus fruits will cleanse and unblock pores and it also helps to discard dead skin cells.
