Natural Ways to Better Your Skin

Unhealthy foods affect more than your waistline — they also can take a toll on your skin.

• “Overly salty or sugary foods are the enemy,” says Jessica Wu, MD, author of Feed Your Face. Simple sugars and carbs may cause inflammation of the skin.
• Although milk is a wholesome drink that is an encouraged part of your diet, it has also been linked to acne. Instead, try eating yogurt.
• Food that is cooked at high temperatures, such as fried food, may cause a chemical reaction that can make skin look older and more wrinkled.
