As your body largest organ, your skin will take the brunt of the punishment as you indulge on junk. Breakouts, redness and oily complexion are just some ways your body will protest.

What do you do if you succumb to a stress-induced moment of junk food indulgence though? Try counteracting your cravings and helping your body speed up the purge by upping your water intake and noshing on nutritious, antioxidant rich foods like berries and protein. Flush out the toxins and your skin will return quicker to the soft, supple dewiness you remember.
Juices

Vitamin C important to boost your immune system. Vitamin C is also a super antioxidant. Vitamin C promote radiant skin and help blemishes heal properly.

 

Raw vegetables

Achieving beautiful, hydrated, dewy skin can be as simple as eating the rainbow. A balanced, rich diet full of a wide array of colorful veggies ensures you get enough minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants to ward off free radical damage and fight skin problem.

We recommend to our patients that they must aim to eat six or more servings of colorful vegetables daily.

But eating the rainbow does  not have to be a chore. Go ahead and throw some extra veggies in your soups and berries in your morning smoothies. Make a game of it with your family to see how many colors of the rainbow you can eat each day.

Seeds and Nuts

Seeds and nuts also boast hydrating natural oils that can restore the hydration to skin and blast away wrinkles. Here are a few of my favorites: Macadamia nuts may boost collagen production and fight off free radical damage that can contribute to fine lines with phytochemicals.

The Omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts may help reduce redness and inflammation. Almonds are packed full of selenium, manganese and Vitamin E, which can protect your skin against UV damage from the sun.

The bonus with these nuts is that their oils are also available at most health food stores and can be used as carriers for essential oils or to massage directly onto your skin for added hydration.
