Face Food #4: Cottage CheeseDairy is good for your bones and face. But it’s the selenium in cottage cheese, not the calcium, that makes us wild for the creamy curds. Selenium, an essential
mineral, teams up with vitamin E as a powerful free radical-fighting
antioxidant duo. Plus, it’ll protect against skin cancer and fight
dandruff. Get your cottage cheese fill in this Baked Mac & Cheese.
Face Food #5: Acerola CherriesYour average cherry doesn’t supply a lot of vitamin C, but that’s not true for Acerolas. One of these cherries supplies 100% of your daily allowance for vitamin C, which is great news for your skin. As an antioxidant
, vitamin C fights skin damage and wrinkles. It also plays a central role in the production of collagen, the structural protein in your skin.
Use Acerolas in these Chocolate-Cherry Cupcakes.
Face Food #6: OystersWhether they’re an aphrodisiac or not, oysters are a love fest for skin. They fight pimples because they’re rich in zinc. The mineral affects sebum production, a deficiency may contribute to acne
. Zinc also helps boost elastin (the skin's elastic protein) production with the help of vitamin C.Make this Cioppino with oysters.
