Keeping Skin Healthy and Glowing During Fall and Winter

When you think of winter, you probably think of snow, rain, and cold. So it's natural to think that your skin shouldn't need more moisture. Truth is that winter air has much less moisture than the air of those blazing hot summer days. Your skin looks dry because it is. To maintain healthy skin Dr. Christopher Calapai suggests incorporating the following foods into your diet to help your skin glow and remain healthy for the fall/winter:

Olive Oil

helps to provide your skin with healthy, unsaturated fats with anti-aging benefits. It is rich in vitamin E, and can be used to treat and prevent dry skin naturally.

Avocado

contains fats which help to lubricate the skin and protect it from damage, and also promote clear, youthful skin. Avocados also contain anti-aging foods properties.

Oatmeal

contains a large number of antioxidants, along with vitamins and minerals that improve skin health. The fibers in oatmeal also help slough away dead skin and prevent redness when applied topically.

Sweet Potatoes

are a great source of vitamin A, which help to lock in moisture, give your skin a healthy glow and protect it from damage.

Carrots

contain the carotenoids beta carotene and lycopene-both of which help shield your skin against UV damage.

Grapefruit

contains carotenoid, which will make your skin smooth. When buying grapefruit, opt for one with a red-pinkish hue because these colors are from lycopene and it means the fruits are loaded with carotenoids. People who have higher concentration of lycopene have smoother skin.
