You are what you eat. It is a phrase that we have all heard too many times to count. But what does it mean when it comes to your skin? The short answer is: just how it sounds. The foods you eat have a direct effect on the condition of your skin.

The worst foods are anything fatty, greasy, and unhealthy. Junk food is the number one leading cause of acne today, especially fast food, sodas, and chocolate. Other refined sugars are also a common culprit, with candy bars a vice that spells murder for the face. Anything deep fried, or anything high in preservatives, such as frozen foods, is a no-no.

The best foods are anything vitamin rich, containing healthy bacteria, or antioxidant. Low fat yogurt is a popular choice for those looking to eliminate acne and fight blotchy skin. Berries and green tea are great for fighting the signs of aging, and eliminating the dangerous toxins that collect in the system.

Water is probably the most important (and neglected) of all nourishing agents. Not only will it clear off the skin, but it will give it a healthy glow, and eliminate dryness and flaking. It will also fight off wrinkles, and make those already there seem less pronounced.
