While there are many approaches to eating healthy, certain foods are guaranteed to up your beauty game.

To give you a head start, we rounded up the top foods you should be eating to promote youthful-looking skin.

01 - Berries 🍓

Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries are an absolute powerhouse when it comes to antioxidants and are packed with nutrients like vitamin A and C.

They aid the body to heal itself while also protecting against further free-radical damage—doing wonders for your skin.

02 - Leafy Greens 🥬

Spinach, kale, rocket, broccoli are rich sources in vitamin C — a critical component of collagen synthesis, which helps to renew and repair skin cells to give you firmer and more toned skin.

According to research published in the Clinics in Dermatology journal, leafy greens can boost your skin's elasticity and hydration, as well as the fat under your skin, which acts as a "measure" of youthfulness.

03 - Citrus Fruits 🍊🍋

Oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes are naturally rich sources of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that speeds cellular turnover, fights free radical damage, and reduces inflammation.

A diet rich in vitamin C can lead to improved skin elasticity, fewer wrinkles, and a softer, more even skin tone.

04 - Omega Fatty Acids 🥓

Walnuts, seafood, and particularly salmon, are nutritious skin superfoods that help to keep skin supple, combat dryness, and even out uneven complexions.

They improve skin barrier function by sealing in moisture and reducing inflammation — helping to fight off damage to collagen in your skin.

📊 A study showed that a diet with omega-3 fatty acids had a 39% increase in skin hydration after 12 weeks.

05 - Sweet Potato & Carrots 🥕

Rich in beta-carotene, when ingested it’s converted to vitamin A, which itself can fight discoloration and early signs of aging in the skin by supporting healthy skin renewal.

06 - Bone Broth 🍵

Bone broth has been linked to a host of benefits, including its ability to improve skin quality because it is rich in collagen — promoting elasticity and helping the skin stay wrinkle-free and youthful.
