This Weeks: 4 Foods for Gorgeous Skin. Get smoother skin. Want smoother, younger-looking skin? Add these antioxidant-rich foods to your diet. Studies show that the vitamins and minerals they contain can do everything from speeding cell turnover (to reveal healthier skin underneath) to protecting skin from the sun’s damaging rays. Here is four foods that are loaded with age-defying nutrients. Pomegranate Packed with vitamin C, this tart fruit contains more antioxidants than red wine and green tea. It will keep your skin looking bright and wrinkle-free and may even reduce your risk of skin cancer. Avocado Get plenty of moisturizing vitamin E in this creamy fruit. Not only does vitamin E ease dry skin, but studies also show it may reduce free radicals and protect against damaging UV rays. It’s the perfect excuse to have chips and guacamole! Blueberries Free radicals are particles that can harm skin cells and reduce collagen, making skin more wrinkle-prone. You can offset free radical damage by consuming antioxidant-rich blueberries. With 1/2 cup of blueberries, you can just about double the amount of antioxidants in one day. Red bell peppers These brightly coloured veggies are a treat for your skin. A half-cup of chopped red pepper will give you more than 100% of your dietary reference intake of wrinkle-fighting vitamin C. Researchers in the United Kingdom looked at vitamin C intake in 4,025 women and found that those who ate more vitamin C had less wrinkling and dryness.
