The Top 5 Foods to combat Dry Skin This Winter...

[Jace]

1. Nuts
Besides the yummy taste, the best part is that they are rich in vitamin E.
Vitamin E is fantastic for your skin. It protects your skin from oxidative cell damage and exposure to things like UV rays.

2. Fish
What makes it so great for your skin, they contain tons of omega-3 to fatty acids.
These types of acids help your body retain moisture.

3. Sweet Potato
They are loaded with vitamin A, which is one of the most effective nutrients in prevent dry skin.
This vitamin helps repair tissue damage.

4. Olive Oil
A triple threat...as it contains vitamin E, monounsaturated fats and
Omega-3 fatty acids.

5. Avocado
Both delicious and full of vitamin E, also monounsaturated fats, which reduces skin inflammation
