Super Seafood
Even if seafood is not your thing, there is no denying seafood, especially fish, is fantastic for the skin due to its high concentration of omega 3s and zinc. Foods such as oysters, crab, and many lean types of meat are rich in zinc, which helps soothe the skin, and zinc, in particular, helps reduce oil production and acne, and aids in wound healing. Fish like salmon, tuna, and trout are high in omega 3s, which are healthy fats that help to soften dry skin by containing the skin’s moisture, and decreases the look of wrinkles and plumps the skin. Omega 3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids that protect the skin from sun exposure, repair damaged skin, keep cell membranes healthy and hydrated, and protect the skin from harmful toxins.
