Good Skin Tips That Really Work

Good advice! But I want to add that if you're looking into an omega-3 supplement, seek one out that says on the back "USP verified"... with all the crap in our oceans these days, it's best to find one that's as healthy/clean as possible :)

I make fruit smoothies all of the time and just add a giant handful of baby spinach (you can't even taste it) to each bactch. The vitamin A from that (and strawberries) really has helped make my skin look great. My little sister is visiting and she suffers from acne so I gave her some and her skin is even clearing a little. They taste great even without sugar too.

The no sugar part is always the hardest!!

Green monsters! I agree with kohina. As long as you have some banana in your smoothie you won't taste the spinach or other greens at all!

Hey kohina and amber512, thanks for the tip!!!!

I have a heap of other foods for your skin... Avocado - Full of vitamin E and monounsaturated fats, these fruits keep dry skin well moisturised Mango - Contains beta-carotene, which converts into vitamin A for your skin, helping treat ailments such as acne. Porridge - Mix porridge with warm water, spread on your face (avoiding the eye area) and leave for 10 minutes, before rinsing. This will leave your skin exfoliated and moisturised Mackerel - Oily fish contains essential fatty acids which moisturise and calm dry skin or eczema, especially if you eat it three times a week Olive oil - This can be applied directly to the skin to sooth sunburn. Alternatively, mix it with a raw egg, smooth over the face and neck and leave to dry. To remove, dip cotton wool into warm water mixed with a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda Green Tea - This is bursting with catechins, which are believed to help slow the ageing process. Drink one cup a day to notice the effects Lime juice - The juice from this citrus fruit is believed to help cure pimples. Mix it with flour, olive oil and milk and slap it onto your face.

(I hate spinach, but I shove it in my omelette in the mornings, and smother it with cheese) Cucumber - Lay slices of cucumber over your eyes to help the skin feel refreshed. You can also blend it and spread the pulp over your whole face to help it feel revitalised (everybody knows this :) Walnuts - These kernels are rich in good fats that help keep skin smooth and supple and also protect you from sun damage Watermelon - To remove blemishes and blackheads, squeeze the juice from a slice of watermelon, apply as a toner over your face and neck and leave for 15 minutes.

When you wake up in the morning, apply yogurt to your face, then rinse off thoroughly with cold water after a few minutes.
