Woman's Health collaborating with M.D.'s from UCLA and Yale have compiled a great list of "cosmetic" foods that I'd like to pass on to you. Of course there are tons of benefits to getting these into your daily log but why not save some money at the cosmetic counter too.
I've been there...we fall for the pharmaceutical boasting's of beauty products everywhere we turn. I've been using these foods for a long time and love what they do to my body as well as my skin, I replaced my expensive cosmetics with a moisturizer, face wash, and toner that totals less than $20. Your face won't be the only thing that benefits. Start with the ones you think are the easiest for you to get regularly and go from there.
Here is the list with a few details of what they can do...for more details you can find the full article on line www.womanshealthmag.com.
Almonds-vitamin E, for a natural sun protector
Carrots-great to clear up skin by preventing overproduction of skin cells
